This is our justice system at its very worst, and we are alive to witness it. There is just too much doubt. Even though seven out of nine witnesses have recanted their statements, a judge labeled his own ruling as "not ironclad" and the original prosecutor has voiced reservations about Davis's guilt, the state of Georgia is set to execute Troy anyway. Time is running out, and this is truly Troy's last chance for life. But through the frustration and the tears, there is one thing to remain focused on: We are now Troy Davis's only hope. And I know we won't let him down. There are three steps you can take to help Troy: 1. Send a message of support to Troy as he fights for justice on what may be the final days of his life: http://action.naacp.org/LettersOfSupport 2. Sign the name wall, if you haven't already. And if you have, send it to your friends and family. Each name means a more united front for justice: http://action.naacp.org/Name-Wall 3. Make sure everyone knows about this injustice. Spread the word on Facebook and Twitter (using the hashtag #TooMuchDoubt) so that Troy Davis's story can be heard. We still have a chance to save his life, but only if people are willing to speak out against injustice. Today, the state of Georgia has declared their intention to execute a man even though the majority of the people who put him on the row now say he is innocent and many implicate one of the other witnesses as the actual killer. Now that a date has been set, we cannot relent. We must redouble our efforts. Thank you. Please act quickly and forward this message to all who believe the justice system defeats itself when it allows a man to be executed amid so much doubt.

[SDCPJ] County Redistricting: Action Alert

Subscribe | Donate

Speak out for
fair redistricting of
San Diego County

Tues, Sept 6
2 pm

Please RSVP
to Trinh Le:
tle@onlineCPI.org

Tell the County Board
you want fair redistricting

Under pressure from the ACLU and community groups, the San Diego County Board is revising its proposed redistricting map to account for the voting rights of Latinos and African Americans in the First District in South County.  However, the Board is resisting other changes to its self-serving redistricting plan.

Unless we speak up, Escondido will continue to be split off from similar communities along the Hwy 78 corridor and instead remain in District 3 with more affluent communities to the south and west. One of the many negative results of this split is the fracturing of Latino voting power in North County.

In addition, the supervisors plan to move La Jolla into District 4 with Mid-City communities, and Lemon Grove and Spring Valley will be in District 2, divided from similar communities of interest.

Please email and/or send a letter to each of the Supervisors today. Ask them to:

• Unite the Hwy 78 corridor communities of Oceanside, Vista, San Marcos, and Escondido
• Unite Lemon Grove and Spring Valley with communities of similar interests in District 4.

You can start with a sentence or two from these attached sample letters: (Mid-City/District 4 Letter; North County Letter), and add your own personal knowledge of these communities. Please add your own voice to increase your impact and avoid sending duplicative letters.

Where to send letters:

District 1, Greg Cox: greg.cox@sdcounty.ca.gov
District 2, Dianne Jacob: dianne.jacob@sdcounty.ca.gov
District 3, Pam Slater-Price: pam.slater@sdcounty.ca.gov

[SDCPJ] "UCSD Community Stations" opens Friday, August 19 at gallery@calit2, 5PM

PRESS RELEASE from gallery@calit2

 

KNOWLEDGE-EXCHANGE CORRIDORS:

THE UCSD COMMUNITY STATIONS INITIATIVE

By Teddy Cruz and Mike Cole

August 19-September 23, 2011

 

Summer Workshop Series

Friday September 2, 2011

Friday September 9, 2011

gallery@calit2, 9am-11am

 

The gallery@calit2 is pleased to announce "Knowledge-Exchange Corridors: The UCSD Community Stations Initiative," an exhibition and summer program by Teddy Cruz and Mike Cole. The exhibition will focus on displaying two main aspects pertaining to the UCSD Community Stations Initiative. One part of the exhibition will be a descriptive mapping of this project in order to convey to the audience the meaning of this initiative and its operative dimension in building new pedagogical interfaces between UCSD and San Diego marginal communities. This part of the exhibition will comprise wall murals and video loops, diagramming the existing main sites, actors, programs involved in this project as well as the projected new activities that it will generate in the future. A second part of the exhibition will include the production of a summer program involving youth from each of the Community-based agencies involved and UCSD, engaging in a series of dialogues and exchanges across 4 weeks of interactive programming mediated by an OptIPortable that will be deployed in the gallery and coordinated by instructors at each location.

 

"UCSD Community Stations" is a pilot community outreach initiative that will introduce a series of collaborative projects across a collective body of university leaders from campus departments and centers and a variety of social service and cultural community-based agencies located in demographically diverse neighborhoods in San Diego. Two joint ventures will frame this initiative: The Center for Community Well-being (CCW)-affiliated with the Division of Social Science and led by Mike Cole-will partner with the San Diego Workforce Partnership's South Metro Career Center, located in southeast San Diego, to focus on issues pertaining community health and service, K-12 education and job training in technology fields. The Center of Urban Ecologies (CUE)-affiliated with the Division of Arts and Humanities and led by Teddy Cruz-will partner with Casa Familiar, a social service and cultural agency located in the border neighborhood of San Ysidro, to focus on community-based arts and public culture, affordable housing and inclusive urban development. Working closely with Calit2, CCW and CUE will enable UCSD Community Stations to become corridors of knowledge-exchange that will link the specialized knowledge of the University and the ethical knowledge embedded in communities in order to produce a new form of urban pedagogy. This initiative, framed by Calit2-generated technology infrastructure, will enable San Diego communities to interact with each other while meeting their needs by leveraging a wide-array of resources at UCSD, including faculty and students.

 

Michael Cole is a Distinguished Professor of Communication, Psychology & Human Development, at University of California, San Diego and co-founder of Center for Community Well-being. Combining a background in experimental psychology and cognitive anthropology, Cole has pursued a career focused on the role of culture in human development. This work eventually led him to engage in research on the design of community-based development-enhancing environments for children from diverse cultural and social class backgrounds. The focus of his current work is the creation of University-Community Partnerships to promote community well-being.

 

Teddy Cruz is a Professor in Public Culture in the Visual Arts Department at University of California, San Diego, and co-founder of the Center for Urban Ecologies. Teddy Cruz has been recognized internationally for his urban research of the Tijuana-San Diego border. After obtaining a Master in Design Studies from Harvard University, he was recipient of the first James Stirling Memorial Lecture on the City Prize by the Canadian Center of Architecture and the London School of Economics. Most recently, his work represented the US in the 2008 Venice Architecture Biennale and was included in the "Small Scale, Big Change" exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

 

Please join us at the gallery for this unique exhibition and summer program. All gallery events are FREE and open to the public.

Below is our press release for our events around the country:

 

For Immediate Release                                                                                 August 23, 2011

 

 

Nurses to Converge on 60 Congressional Offices in 21 States Sept. 1 - Call for Tax on Wall Street to Heal America 

 

RNs to sponsor soup kitchens, food pantries, speak outs on the need for jobs, healthcare, education, housing - and outline the RN plan on how to pay for it

 

From Maine to California, nurses, joined by others fed up with the ongoing economic crisis, will call on Congress members in their local district offices September 1  to support a tax on Wall Street financial speculation, a revenue source fast becoming an international norm, to pay for healing the nation.

 

NNU protest on Wall Street in June

 

Events, from soup kitchens to help feed the hungry and homeless, to community speak outs to street theater are planned from major urban centers like Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, and Orlando, to smaller cities and towns, such as Corpus Christi, TX., Marquette, MI., Bakersfield, CA., Dayton, OH., and Worcester, MA. National Nurses United is sponsoring the actions.

 

Nurses will visit the home offices of Republicans and Democrats alike, with a common message. Everyday Americans are hurting, and they need jobs, healthcare, housing, quality education, nutrition, and a secure retirement, not more cuts, as has been the obsession of Congress.

 

See a preliminary list of actions at http://www.nationalnursesunited.org/pages/sept-1-event-list

 

The RNs will be calling on Congress members to sign a pledge to "support a Wall Street transaction tax that will raise sufficient revenue to make Wall Street pay for the devastation it has caused on Main Street." The visits follow a letter sent by certified mail to all 535 members of the House and Senate last week asking them to back the pledge and help "make the promise of the American dreamŠ a reality."

 

A tax on Wall Street trading of stocks, bonds, derivatives, currencies, credit default swaps, and futures - the very financial speculative activity linked to the 2008 financial meltdown and resultant recession - could raise hundreds of billions of dollars to pay for the programs that .   "are desperately needed to reduce the pain and suffering felt by so many families who feel abandoned in communities across this nation," says NNU Co-President Deborah Burger, RN.

 

A new NNU video depicts the Wall Street-made debacle, http://www.youtube.com/user/NationalNursesUnited

 

NNU, the nation's largest union and professional association of nurses, has convened numerous other protests in recent months joined by labor and community activists, including in Washington DC, outside the headquarters of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and in New York City, across from the Stock Exchange, to advance this campaign.

 

 "America's nurses see every day the broad declines in health and living standards that are a direct result of patients and families struggling with lack of jobs, un-payable medical bills, hunger and homelessness. We know where to find the resources to bring them hope and real solutions," said NNU Co-president Karen Higgins, RN.

 

"It's time for Wall Street financiers, who created this crisis and continue to hold so much of the nation's wealth, to start contributing to rebuild this country, and for the American people to reclaim our future," says NNU Executive Director Rose Ann DeMoro.

That point was reinforced Monday by University of Massachusetts economics professor Nancy Folbre in a New York Times blog, http://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/08/22/a-sales-tax-on-wall-street-transactions/, in which she wrote:

"Purchases of stocks, bonds and other financial instruments in the United States go untaxed but for a tiny fee on stock trades that helps finance the Securities and Exchange Commission. In Britain, by contrast, a 0.5 percent tax on stock transactions raises about $40 billion a year. President Nicolas Sarkozy of France and Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany recently announced plans to introduce a similar tax in the 27 nations of the European Community.

"Our current tax policies favor speculative investment in financial instruments over productive investments in human capabilities. This imbalance helps explain why nurses' unions in the United States (NNU) have been particularly outspoken advocates of a financial transactions tax. As they put it: "Heal America. Tax Wall Street."

For a list of nationwide actions, see the National Nurses United website.

[SDCPJ] Harvest of Loneliness screens on PBS stations around the country this fall

This labor day season, many PBS stations are screening a documentary that sheds light on the current debate over immigration reform and the use of "guest workers" in American agriculture. "Harvest of Loneliness" has received positive reviews at film festivals and screenings worldwide, earning the Cinelatino Audience Choice Award for Best Documentary at the Los Angeles Latino Film Festival in 2010 and the Best Educational Film Award at the Amsterdam Film Festival in 2011.  Produced by Gilbert Gonzalez, Professor Emeritus of Chicana/o Studies at UC Irvine, and co-directed by Vivian Price, Associate Professor of Interdisciplinary Studies and Labor Studies at CSU Dominguez Hills, Harvest of Loneliness examines what was known as the Bracero Program-a system put in place from 1942 to 1964 to undermine union organizing by recruiting Mexican farm laborers for temporary work in the United States. The film presents extraordinary archival footage and features family members and surviving braceros who typically went north expecting not just good wages but also humane treatment and working conditions-expectations that were rarely met.   http://harvestofloneliness.com

The film is showing in many PBS stations around the country in September and October. Check your local listings, but here are the ones we've heard about so far.

The project in question, dubbed /Drone Ready-Made: Fine Military Detritus/, revolves around an authentic logistical container used to transport the infamous Predator Drones <http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/16/rick-perry-drones-border-security_n_928194.html> currently deployed by the United States in military operations around the world.

The impetus for the project is homegrown. The Drones, whose deployment in unmanned air strikes and reconnaissance missions in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq as well as on the US/Mexico border has shot up under Obama, are developed by General Atomics in San Diego County. Their facilities in Poway are in the district of outspoken Republican congressman Darrell Issa, whose highly questionable practices have been the subject of recent <http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/15/us/politics/15issa.html?_r=1&pagewanted=all?src=tp> scrutiny <http://www.truth-out.org/goldman-sachs-vp-changed-his-name-now-advances-goldman-lobbying-interests-top-staffer-darrell-issa/1> by the /New York Times/, Truth-Out.org and others.

[SDCPJ] Movie about Depleted Uranium on You Tube

The Peace Resource Center showed the movie "Poison Dust" at the Friend's Center Tuesday evening as part of Nuclear Free Month. This movie is about the use of depleted Uranium (DU) by our military.  For those of you who could not attend, the movie is available to watch on YouTube at this link:  http://youtu.be/Cr5rnlsCFUk

The movie is powerful and informational, but is also disturbing. Please get the word out to people you know about the dangers of using bullets and bombs made with DU to both our military personnel and to the people of Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, etc.
