[SDCPJ] The March for Climate Justice in San Diego's Balboa Park

[SDCPJ] uh oh! Weary Wednesday?

Dear friends of peace, justice, and sustainability,

Certainly you know of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, probably even ‎Small Business Saturday and GivingTuesday‬, yes? Like me, you probably saw quite a number of email or social media requests to donate to your favorite nonprofit yesterday. All that following a day where we're supposed to be grateful for what we have... Phew! That's why some refer to today as Weary Wednesday. "They" won't stop prying at your pocketbooks.

Well... hopefully, your wallets aren't weary, let alone your spirits. I bet you are a grateful person, involved in social justice (you are on this list, after all!). Perhaps you celebrated "Black Out Friday" instead of Black Friday. Maybe you didn't shop online while at work on Monday. Possibly you did give to a nonprofit yesterday.

If you didn't, or even if you did one/any of those (yes, here's the pitch)... 

Consider the following actions that are simple, but do really count to help make the world better:

(1) Come to the Annual "Peace on Earth Holiday Bazaar"

     this Saturday, Dec 5th from 10 am - 2pm

     at Mid City Gym, 43rd and Landis, 92105.

There will be:

... 26 small local not-for-profit groups to learn about and support.

... Entertainment by a high school quartet, peace on earth carolers, circus performers, and guitar students

... Delicious food, tasty treats, and hot drinks available from some of the groups

... and even some cute rescue animals are visiting!

Details and flyers: www.PeaceBazaar.net 

Updates/photos from groups: www.facebook.com/peacebazaar

(2) Make #GivingTuesday any day (just like Earth Day is everyday!)...

And with that, in your own name or that of friends and family, please consider helping build peace and justice here in 2016 by supporting the Peace Resource Center of San Diego!  The PRC just celebrated its 35th anniversary, and is committed to continuing to work, better than ever, locally and beyond. What world might we (all together) be living in after another 35 years?  What kind of world should children and future generations look forward to? Help us continue our work --WITH YOU-- to build a better world, one where there is peace with justice through nonviolent means.  

Go to http://prcsd.org/get-involved/donate.html

Also, if you do shop online at Amazon, now or at any time, consider choosing the Peace Resource Center of San Diego as your donation beneficiary. It's just 1% per purchase, but think "Pennies for Peace" to help us continue the work... https://smile.amazon.com/ch/95-3594247

As a new Board member, I know that renewed enthusiasm and energy to do what we must is resident at the PRC! And I have now donated to PRC on behalf of loved ones.

[SDCPJ] ALERT - San Diego Climate Action this SATURDAY

 

March & Rally for Climate Justice (UN climate Talks) 

When:

12/12/2015 @ 12:00 pm – 3:00 pm

Where:

Balboa Park
6th Ave & Laurel St
San Diego, CA 92103
 

From November 29 to December 12, world leaders will meet in Paris to negotiate a new global climate treaty. While progress is expected, we already know that any agreement reached will not be nearly as strong as we need it to be. 2015 is on track to be the hottest year on record, and unprecedented storms, floods and droughts are happening around the world. The tragedy in Paris has only strengthened our resolve to stand together for a peaceful and livable planet. This movement for climate justice has always also been a movement for peace– no matter what background or religion, a way for us to protect our common home. So as world leaders gather in Paris at the end of November for the COP global climate summit, folks around the world will be marching in their communities.

On December 12, people will come together from all over San Diego County to call for bold climate solutions that create local jobs, strengthen community power and transition us to 100% clean energy by 2035. And we'll call on world leaders to not cross climate red lines – including keeping 80% of fossil fuels in the ground. Huge demonstrations will take place in Paris and around the world. If we are successful, these mobilizations could be a real turning point for the movement.

It's time to show the world that true climate leadership means a brighter future for all. December 12 will be one of San Diego's biggest climate actions ever — can you join us? RSVP NOW and contact us to volunteer!

Be sure to share this event by email and on facebook.  Download English flyers (Word) (pdf) or Spanish flyers (Word) (pdf) (4 per page) and 8.5 x 11 posters (pdf)  (png image). Sample email/social media posts

Location: We'll gather at 6th and Laurel in Balboa Park at noon, march to the fountain by the Fleet Science Center (~0.8 miles, can go directly there) and hold a rally. We should be done by 2:30 pm.

Confirmed Speakers:

• David Alvarez, San Diego City Councilmember
• Prof. Jeffrey Severinghaus, Scripps Institute of Oceanography (climate scientist)
• Rev. J. Lee Hill, Jr., Pastor, Christian Fellowship Congregational Church, United Church of Christ and Board Co-Chair, Interfaith Center for Worker Justice

DOT LAUNCHES INVESTIGATOIN IN ALABAMA OVER DMV CLOSURES

DOT launches investigation in Alabama over DMV closures

Department of Transportation launches discrimination investigation of Alabama 02:11

Story highlights

• The U.S. Department of Transportation has just launched an investigation into Alabama
• The case revolves around the closing of Department of Motor Vehicle offices and whether that discriminates against African-Americans

Washington (CNN)The U.S. Department of Transportation has just launched an investigation into whether Alabama is discriminating against African-American residents after announcing plans to shut down or reduce service at 34 state drivers license offices.

Voting rights advocates say the move will disenfranchise lower income, African-American voters in rural communities who wish to vote.

In 2014, Alabama passed a law requiring valid photo ID in order to vote at the polls.

Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx says his agency is specifically looking into whether the closures violate the Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color or national origin on programs and activities receiving federal assistance.

"Driver license offices offer essential services to the American people, including providing thousands in Alabama with a method of identification. It is critical that these services be free of discrimination, and serve the people of the state fairly and equally," Foxx said.

On September 30, Alabama announced the closure and reduction in services at 34 drivers licensing offices throughout the state. The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency has said an $11 million cut in the budget forced the closing of the DMV offices at which residents can obtain or renew their licenses. The state expects some of the needs of those who would have used such offices to be met online.

"It is our obligation to ensure that recipients of federal funding are in compliance with federal laws that guarantee equal access and opportunity for all," said Stephanie Jones, the U.S. Department of Transportation's civil rights acting director.

"Our concern rests in the possibility that the state's closure of driver license offices disproportionately constrains the ability of some residents to secure driving privileges, register personal and commercial vehicles, and obtain proper identification a critical requirement for access to essential activities such as opening a bank account and voting," she said.

The agency will be requesting all documents and information that explains why these specific 34 DMV locations were picked for closure or reduced service "and why not others," Foxx said.

DOT says it has not reached any conclusions but if it finds these closures are discriminatory, the agency will first allow the state to come into compliance by making those services available once again. If Alabama does not comply, the Department of Transportation says it could strip the state of millions of dollars in federal funding that's used towards DMV programs.

Questioned whether stripping the state of federal funding would only further negatively impact the communities DOT is trying to protect Foxx said the agency is still gathering information "I don't want to presuppose the outcome at this point, we need to go and get the facts but I think that the recourse we have is fairly effective we've seen it work in previous cases. Hopefully we won't get there but if we do we will be very aggressive."

In October, Rep. Terri Sewell, the only African-American in the state's congressional delegation, asked the Department of Justice to launch an investigation.

The state of Alabama declined to comment on the investigation.

It's unclear when the DOT will complete its investigation or whether it will be done before the November 2016 election, though Foxx said the agency is working to get it done as soon as possible.
