Watch Revolution and Help Us Save Our Oceans

Revolution is an exhilarating and hard-hitting full length feature film from award-winning Sharkwater filmmaker Rob Stewart. Not only does it shed light on crucial environmental topics and how we can save the planet, but he shows how past world events have taught us what we need to do to save the future. Revolution is not just about the environment—it’s a film about hope and inspiration. It’s a call-to-action with an uplifting message that tells us it’s possible to alleviate the damage already done. It’s time for a Revolution! Revolution premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and has already gone on to win ten awards, including the Social Justice Award at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival. Revolution released in theaters, online, and through your favourite conservation group starting April 22nd, 2015.

[SDCPJ] Fwd: [Occupysd] Join Nurses Tomorrow June 5 @ 10:30am Susan Davis' office

Begin forwarded message:

Subject: [Occupysd] Join Nurses Tomorrow June 5 @ 10:30am Susan Davis' office

Please join us!
Tomorrow San Diego nurses are holding an event outside Congresswoman Susan Davis' office to appeal to her to vote no on Fast Track. The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is a major international trade deal shrouded in secrecy, and poses a major threat to all of our health and safety laws. It could vastly restrict affordability of prescription medications, and essentially override many of our laws and regulations. See the attached flier. The Senate has already voted to allow a 'fast track' vote. We are appealing to House members to vote no to 'fast track' and to demand transparency before any vote on the deal. The House is likely to vote next week. Would be great if you can join us! Will last about 45 mins to an hour. Please wear red and bring a friend!

Nurses and Community to Urge Representative Susan Davis to vote against the TPP Fast Track
Friday, June 5
10:30am
Congresswoman Susan Davis office
2700 Adams Avenue
San Diego 92116
https://www.facebook.com/events/674525342691434/

Top 5 Reasons RNs Oppose TPP & Fast Track:
1. Reducing Access to Affordable Medications
2. Exposing Americans to Unsafe Food Products
3. Eroding Public Health Laws and Services
4. Curbing Limits on Pollution and Other Environmental Hazards
5. Undermining Democracy and National Sovereignty

See you there!

[SDCPJ] Local Housing needed August 5-9, 2015 Veterans for Peace Nat'l Convention in San Diego

Dear Friends of Peace:

The San Diego Veterans For Peace are in urgent need of housing for veterans who are attending our upcoming Veterans For Peace National Convention, to be held August 5- 9, 2015. The convention will be held at the Town and Country Hotel in Mission Valley, so accommodations nearby would be great. Can you help? A room, a backyard, or ???? Best would be with food and transportation to the Mission Valley Town and Country each day, but merely the offer of a room and a shower would be great!

Please respond to Gary Butterfield, gbutterfield@san.rr.com or 1.858.245.7700 if you help us out.

Regards,

Gary Butterfield

Convention Manager

Che lives!
They gave out tofu scramble and vegan cupcakes on Monday.
Many events are planned: https://www.facebook.com/che.cafe.collective
This Saturday, June 6th, from 10am – 2pm, alumni will be on hand for historical tours.

“Si no hay café para todos, no habrá para nadie.”

SO PLEASE SHOW UP if you are in town and help circulate this article, regardless.

Please put your thinking cap on and ponder where the historical tours ought to go (e.g., Chancellor's Office?).

[SDCPJ] Automatic draft registration passes California Assembly

AB 82, the bill that would automatically register males for a possible future military draft when they apply for or renew a California driver's license, passed the California Assembly by a vote of 73 to 2. This came after the bill was amended to weakly address some of the criticisms expressed by opponents during two legislative committee hearings.

The bill now goes to the California Senate. Bill web page: http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/postquery?bill_number=ab_82&sess=CUR&house=B&search_type=email

There were three key amendments:

1. Language was added that requires SSS to cover all the expenses for the first year, including the cost of modifying the records system and printing new license application forms. (Continuing expenses after that would presumably be covered by Dept. of Motor Vehicles funds; however, the state constitution prohibits those funds from being used for purposes unrelated to transportation and traffic law enforcement.)

2. Language was added requiring SSS to sign a memorandum of understanding stating that it will not refer the personal information required for registration to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services. (Such an MOU would conflict with the fact that the SSS Privacy Act Statement that is on every registration form says just the opposite: SSS declares that USCIS is one of the agencies with which it DOES share information!)

3. Language was added asserting that license applicants will be able to opt out of automatic SSS registration by visiting an SSS web page within 21 days of applying for their Calif. license or license renewal. (However, SSS has historically denied people the option of withdrawing their registration, and there is no such form on the SSS web site. A state legislature has no power to force SSS to change this policy, but if SSS did create an online opt-out mechanism, anyone who used it would possibly be providing evidence that could be used to prove that they willfully violated the registration law.)

Many of the votes in favor of AB 82 were secured with factual misrepresentations made by SSS and the bill's supporters. For example, it was claimed that automatic draft registration would provide a path to citizenship for undocumented students, when in fact under current federal law these individuals cannot apply for citizenship even if they register with SSS!

Bills similar to AB 82 have been proposed in California six previous times, all of which were eventually killed when they did not advance beyond the final appropriations committee.

For information on progress of the bill in the California Senate, contact Committee Opposed to Militarism and the Draft, comdsd@aol.com, 760-753-7518.
