[SDCPJ] Rally Outside Trump Speech Fri.May 27, Noon -:- Organizing meeting Mon. 7 pm

Dj event

JOIN! Love trumps Hate Solidarity Network

Meet Mon. May 23 - 7pm at Grassroots Oasis

RALLY OUTSIDE TRUMP SPEECH @ SAN DIEGO CONVENTION CENTER FRI, MAY 27^th noon -

Several days before Trump announced his speech in San Diego 25 people gathered to lay out some basic plans for an expected visit by Donald Trump. How prophetic we were! NOW WE MUST ORGANIZE QUICKLY & EFFECTIVELY.
The consensus was that Donald Trump remains one of the most dangerous and unpredictable candidates ever to potentially reach the White House. His racially charged politics, his anti-immigrant rhetoric, his Muslim bashing, and his pandering to billionaire 1%ers, makes him a threat that is worthy of major public mobilization. It is especially important that San Diego with the largest border entry point between the US/Mexico be ready to expose the very real consequences of hate

President Trump? Send him Packing out of San Diego!

Mobilize to send a message of solidarity to all DT hates.

Our new coalition adopted a slogan often heard which we thought represented our positive approach to combating hate speech, calling ourselves the Love trumps Hate Solidarity Network. (Like and Share on Facebook).. We will mobilize a massive a response emphasizing a positive message of grassroots democratic, non-violent opposition.
Meet Mon. May 23rd at the Grassroots Oasis near Old Town ~3130 Moore St. San Diego. Please forward this on to others so that representatives of a wide cross-section: including students, immigrant groups, Republican, Democrats, independents, labor unions & human rights organizations can coalesce for this common cause. For info 619-871-9354

Want to help distribute at the Stop Monsanto & Bernie rallies in National City & Vista?

JAPAN'S EX-PRIME MINISTER KOIZUMI MEETS IRRADIATED U.S. SAILORS – URGES FAIR, SPEEDY RESOLUTION TO LAWSUIT!

Popular former Prime Minister Jun'ichiro Koizumi of Japan met for the past three days with sick U.S. Navy Sailors, irradiated at Fukushima while providing humanitarian aid to Japanese victims of the earthquake and tsunami of March 11, 2011. Prime Minister Koizumi attentively listened to severely ill sailors describe in detail illnesses such as Leukemia, Cancers, Tumors and other life threatening health conditions resulting from their exposure to radiation at Fukushima. The nuclear meltdown, with four reactors exploding, was a "man-made" disaster, according to an independent Japanese commission investigating the meltdown. In February of this year, three top officials of TEPCO were indicted on charges of criminal negligence for allegedly failing to take measures to prevent the nuclear disaster resulting in thousands of deaths and injuries.

The sailors' lawsuit is based on their participation in Operation Tomodachi (meaning "Friends"), where they provided humanitarian relief after the March 11, 2011 devastation caused by the Earthquake and Tsunami. The class action lawsuit against the Japanese Utility, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), includes more than 400 named injured sailors and a total of 24000 sailor first responders, and a total of up to 75000 affected U.S. personnel and their families. The injured servicemen and women will require treatment for their deteriorating health, medical monitoring, payment of their medical bills, appropriate health monitoring for their children, and monitoring for possible radiation-induced genetic mutations.

At one point during his tenure as Prime Minister, Mr. Koizumi enjoyed an 85 percent approval rating. Throughout his term as Prime Minister he was a proponent of nuclear power, but in the wake of the Fukushima disaster of 2011 he was one of the first pro-nuclear politicians to change his conviction to an anti-nuclear position. In explaining his stand, Mr. Koizumi stated, "We should aim to be nuclear–free…and unite toward a dream of achieving a society based on renewable energy."

[SDCPJ] Verizon Striking Families Solidarity Fund

---------- Forwarded Message ----------

Date: Thu, 05 May 2016 19:45:39 +0000
From: Beth Allen standuptoverizon@cwa-union.org

Being on strike has put an immense amount of financial stress on striking Verizon employees and their families. Not only have they gone without a paycheck for over 22 days, but last weekend Verizon cut off their health care coverage.

Verizon would rather try to intimidate these brave men and women by cutting off access to health care for their families than negotiate a fair contract.

By going on strike, Verizon employees are taking a stand for all of us. They are joining together to say people who work for a living ought to be able to have a good life and a good future. Their courage and sacrifice is an inspiration.

The Verizon Striking Families Solidarity Fund provides help to families who are facing extraordinary hardship. Monty, will you make a contribution today?

DONATE

The striking workers knew that this wasn’t going to be easy. During the past 10 months of negotiations with Verizon they increased their savings and cut back on expenses in case it would be necessary to go on strike.

But you never know what’s around the corner. Elderly parents may require unexpected care. You may need life-saving medication that costs thousands of dollars a month. Flood or fire might strike your home.

Let’s join together and make sure that the striking workers will be able to handle these emergencies. Even a small donation goes a long way when we all pitch in. Click here to make your contribution: standwithverizon.com/solidarity.

In Unity,

Beth

[SDCPJ] President Trump? No Way! Join us; Attend an important organizing meeting on Mon. May 16 at 7 p.m.

An open letter and invitation from Activist San Diego

to the San Diego social justice community:

President Trump? No Way!

Join us; Attend an important organizing meeting on

Mon. May 16 at 7 p.m.

Joyce Beers Community Center,*

~~~~~~ Share on www.facebook.com/ActivistSD/?fref=ts ~~~~~

Donald Trump's hate campaign is coming to town sooner or later. Let's organize for a different future!

San Diego is a multi-racial gateway to Mexico and the world. We want a city and nation, which embodies peace, sustainability and social justice for all -- where billionaires can not buy our democracy. We must be prepared to show, the country and the world that we reject the politics of hate and his pledge to make America hate again.

We invite you to a discuss the way forward. We propose a multi-ethnic Festival for Democracy in Trump's honor; to draw attention to the treacherous lies, deceit, and his race-baiting agenda. We also prepare ourselves for future coalition organizing towards our progressive agendas. We invite you to attend an organizing meeting on Monday May 16 at 7 p.m. at the Joyce Beers Community Center,* Through preparation we take the higher ground and can be proactive. We call Civic, labor, ethnic, human rights and racial justice organizations to initiate a coalition to ensure the billionaire class gets the message.

Donald Trump is now the presumptive Republican Party candidate for president of the United States. Trump has purposely incited anti-immigrant, anti-muslim sentiment, racialized his campaign, and mobilized "white" anger. These are act of demagoguery.

Donald Trump has made outrageous statements about his willingness to spread war and destruction in other countries. He is a champion of the billionaire class and will act in the best interest of the 1% if he becomes the president.

It is not far-fetched to define Donald Trump's agenda as a fascistic. The definition of fascism is the consolidation of corporate power with the governmental-military power as enforcers. Trump's populist agenda and his pseudo-religious anointment as THE strongman to save a failing empire is classic demagoguery. He has denigrated all of the common rules of decency including attacks on women -- in an election for the highest office in the country. The danger of Donald Trump should not be underestimated. He could become our next president... unless we mobilize.

San Diego is proud to be one of the most ethnicity diverse cities in USA. Progressive San Diegans will not support racist, anti-immigrant, Muslim and Mexican bashing. Donald Trump the demagogue is not welcomed to San Diego or the border region!

We have an opportunity to turn the Trump fiasco into a victory for progressive forces.

Your ideas and participation are solicited.

For more info.www.activistsandiego.org/node/5210 or info@ActivistSan Diego.org or call 619-871-9354.

Please come yourself and have your organization send a representative.

Yours in struggle, The Board of Activist San Diego ; ActivistSanDiego.org

Haitian Revolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Haitian Revolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An interesting fact that I did not know. The Haitian Revolution was the beginning of the end of the powerful French colonial army. It resulted in the security of the United States, the acquisition of Louisiana, the end of slavery in the U.S. and the defeat of the French by the Mexicans in Mexico (Cinco De Mayo).
