To Mark the 2nd Anniversary of the Gaza Massacre
END THE SIEGE AND ATTACKS ON GAZA NOW!
When: Sunday January 9, 2011 at 3 PM @ the Fountain in Balboa Park
The holidays have arrived and people all over the world are celebrating with their loved ones. Yet, this time of the year symbolizes a period of continuing terror and constant uncertainty for Palestinians imprisoned in the Gaza Strip, which remains today in its fourth year under a criminal siege.
Two years ago, the state of 'Israel' launched a 22-day brutal and criminal attack on 1.5 million Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip. This attack began on December 27, 2008 and continued until January 18, 2009. The state of 'Israel' sealed off all the borders of Gaza to prevent Palestinians from fleeing to safety. The Gaza Strip was transformed into a slaughterhouse leaving 1417 Palestinians dead (including 352 children) & 5300 permanently wounded.
With the intensifying recent Israeli attacks, publicized threats and leaked plans of another major assault on Gaza, we will be holding a demonstration followed by a candlelight vigil on this the 2nd anniversary of the 22-day massacre. We will demand an End to the Siege and Attacks on Gaza, and will remember and honor all the martyrs and the victims who were injured and terrorized. We will also stand in solidarity and celebrate the resilience and bravery of the Palestinian people in Gaza.

بمناسبة السنة الثانية لمجزرة غزة
فكوا الحصار على غزة الان
الأحد 9 يناير 2011 الساعة الثالثة بعد الظهر في بالبوا بارك بقرب النافورة.
قد بدأت الأعياد و جميع الناس في أنحاء العالم يحتفلون مع أحبائهم. لكن هذا الوقت من السنة يدل على فترة من مواصلة الألم و العناء على الفلسطينين في غزة و الذي يصادف اليوم السنة الرابعة تحت الحصار.
قبل عامين شنت اسرائيل هجوما وحشيا على 1.5 مليون فلسطيني في غزة و الذي استمر 22 يوم من ديسمبر 27, 2008 الى يناير 18, 2009.
أغلقت اسرائيل الحدود في غزة لمنع الفلسطينين من الخروج أو الفر الى مكان امن. غزة تحولت الى مجزرة و تركت 1417 شهيد و 5300 جرحة بشكل دائم فالحصار لايزال قائم و المعركة مستمرة.

UNACpeace@gmail.com or UNAC at P.O. Box 123, Delmar, NY 12054 518-227-6947 www.UNACpeace.org The following is from UNAC Continuations Committee member Kathy Kelly who is in Afghanistan. She asked us and others to circulate her proposal. "Dear Afghanistan:" A New Year's Call for Peace While the US may be the world's single super power in military terms, it faces another super power: the voices of war-weary millions who detest violence and killing. In Afghanistan, in the United States, and among the populations of countries whose governments have joined the NATO coalition, millions of people are calling for an end to war in Afghanistan.
On New Year's Day, 01/01/11, people around the world are invited to raise their voices, through Facebook, Twitter, Free Conference calls, Skype, and blogs at several websites in a massive refusal to accept this war any longer. Let your New Year's resolution be to stand for the people and end wars by sending a digital or spoken peacemaking message to people in Afghanistan. By amassing millions of messages calling for peace, we can create yet another indication that ordinary people within and beyond Afghanistan have had enough of war.
Afghanistan's people need food not bombs, health care not warfare and courage for peace, not war. In the words of Abdulai, an Afghan teenager whose father was killed by the Taliban, the "Dear Afghanistan" campaign offers an alternative to the Obama administration's most recent review of the war. Abdulai's experiences of impoverishment, bereavement, and discrimination highlight realities that Afghans face every day. The U.S. government's December review paid no attention to these conditions.
You can let Afghan people know that their lives matter as much as yours. Assure them that the U.S. government's war is unacceptable to you and that you are working to end it.
We can catch courage from one another, sparking a New Year's momentum to put an end to war.
Follow the steps below to communicate the simple yet crucial demand: Stop the Killing in Afghanistan.

[SDCPJ] Thought for the Season: Support the Troops
The Best Friend of the Enlisted Military is PEACE |
[SDCPJ] Activist Holiday Party - Monday, December 20th @ 7 PM @ Joyce Beers
| OPEN LETTER TO THE SAN DIEGO ACTIVIST COMMUNITY Dear Friends, This is a quick plea for your support and participation in sustaining Activist San Diego as a key left-progressive institution in the California border region. Frankly ASD needs recourses to organizationally develop. First and foremost ASD wants your participation not just in our organization, but in the movement for social change. We also need your support!! If we got a $1 a month donation from every person who receives this message, we'd be in financial equilibrium. If we received a mere $3 a month we'd be financially stable to fulfill our mission to be the information, communications and motivation hub in San Diego. At $10 a month we'd be in a major expansion mode and working to grow the local social justice movement in San Diego county. At $20 a month we could triple our capacity and we'd assure a staff person to get our new FM Activist Radio on the air sooner. Will you be one of those who offers ASD the support our vital role in the community? Can you help us grow? Donate now and we will not disappoint the progressive community! Please attend the Join us for a social and networking gathering. Live MUSIC - Meet other left-progressives - Bring a cup for coco and food or snacks to share. A good time will be had by all -- as we celebrate what we have accomplished and prepare for the necessary challenges in 2011 -- to bring peace and social justice to the forefront of the public dialogue and to the center of our activism.

[SDCPJ] Urgent - New military training facility proposed in the San Diego area!
Another "Blackwater-Like" 100 million dollar military training facility is being planned in Ocotillo! There is a hearing being held TODAY (Monday). PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT OUT OF YOUR DAY TO CALL THE IMPERIAL COUNTY SUPERVISOR'S OFFICE TO EXPRESS HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT THIS DEVELOPMENT. Please read the following article in today's Los Angeles Times:
Here is a paragraph from the lower section of this LA Times story...
Critics see unsettling similarities between the Wind Zero project and a training and supply facility proposed but then scrapped in San Diego County by the controversial private security firm Blackwater USA, which trains and supplies civilian military personnel for assignments overseas. Some have suggested that Wind Zero is a front for Blackwater — which now operates under the name Xe — or could be sold to it once the project has been approved. Webb dismisses the claims.
