MEDIA ADVISORY

WHEN: 1pm 4/14 (start of march) and 2pm (Event at Horton Plaza Park)
WHERE: Hall Of Justice Courthouse 330 W. Broadway, march to Horton Plaza Park (5 blocks east) 900 Fourth Ave.
MAIN EVENT: at Horton Plaza Park, 900 Fourth Ave, San Diego (see graphic below)
WHAT: Rally / Press Conference regarding Nuclear Waste Dump and Lawsuit by Citizens Oversight to block construction of the dump.
RSVP: https://www.facebook.com/events/1685007231792917
More Info: http://copswiki.org/Common/StopNukeDump

We are very happy to announce that world-renowned
champion surfer Ian Cairns will be joining our event at
Horton Plaza Park on Friday, April 14 at about 2pm and
addressing the crowd concerning the proposed nuclear
waste dump only 100 feet from the ocean and inches
over the high water mark.

Cairns is perhaps the most well recognized name in the
surfing world as he developed the sport by helping to
devise a rating and scoring system for surfing events.
In 1979 he moved to California and with Peter Townend
formed the National Scholastic Surfing Association (NSSA).
In 1983 he became the first director of the Association of
Surfing Professionals (ASP) of which he is a life member.
Cairns is currently Head Coach of the PacSun USA Surf Team.

Ian will be speaking at the event when the march arrives
at the Horton Plaza Park.

In addition, Ray Lutz, National Coordinator for Citizens Oversight
will speak about the issue, the lawsuit, the settlement process,
and plans for public participation meetings so that
the public will have input into the settlement process. We want to
hear the concerns, ideas, thoughts, and proposed plans so those
can be used by our team of experts who will be involved in the
settlement process. This is really our first chance to let the public

weigh in.

We believe that at this juncture, everyone wants to see this waste
off the beach as quickly as reasonably possible.

​Tuesday, April 18  at 6:30pm

WOSD

​

Movie 

Night

The Doctrine of Discovery: Unmasking The Domination Code

​​

​

The film tells the story of how a little-known Vatican documents of the fifteenth century resulted in a tragic global momentum of domination

​ ​

and dehumanization. This led to law systems in the United States and Canada and elsewhere in the world that are still being used against 

Original Nations and Peoples to this day.

The Supreme Court's distinction between "Christian people" and heathens" in Johnson v M'Intosh (1823) is still  treated as valid law 

​​

for the United States in 2015.

Cristobal Colon (Columbus) and other colonizers laid claim to the lands of original nations on the basis of the idea that Christians had a

biblical right to discover and dominate non-Christian lands. This doctrine of ancient Christendom, supported by papal edicts, continues to
serve as the conceptual foundaytion of the political and legal system of the United States, and as the conceptual foundation of

​ ​

other dominating political systems elsewhere in the world in relation to original nations.

A story of historical truth, spirituality and resistance, told on behalf of the original nations and peoples of Great Turtle Island, and elsewhere on Mother Earth. 

We are still here, and still rightfully free.

Dakota filmmaker Sheldon Wolfchild's compelling documentary is based on the book Pagans in the Promised Land: Decoding the Doctrine of 

Christian Discovery, by Shawnee, Lenape scholar Steven T. Newcomb.

Narration by Buffy Sainte-Marie

​

This powerful and landmark documentary "The Doctrine of Discovery: Unmasking The Domination Code" is a result of the collaborative efforts by Dakota filmmaker and Director Sheldon Wolfchild and Co-Producer Steven Newcomb (Shawnee, Lenape). 

The film, based on Newcomb's thirty years of research, and his book Pagans in the Promised Land: Decoding the Doctrine of Christian Discovery (Fulcrum, 2008), brings to the big screen an amazing and little known story

Women Occupy San Diego offers a free film screening every 3rd Tuesday each month. 

Doors Open at 6:30 pm

[SDCPJ] Tax Day March Saturday, April 15

San Diego to join Nationwide Tax March on April 15^th

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - April 8th, 2017

Media Contacts:

William Johnson -       707-225-4605        SanDiegoProtests@gmail.com

Jean-Huy Tran -          619-519-5700         jeanhuy@gmail.com

WHERE    –    San Diego County Administration Building

                        1600 Pacific Highway (Harbor side)

WHEN      –    10am on Saturday, April 15th

WHAT      --    Rally & March for Fair Share Tax Day

On Saturday, April 15^th, thousands of San Diegans will join millions more around the world to demand that President Trump release his tax returns!   The people will rally at the San Diego County Administration building (1600 Pacific Highway on the Harbor Dr side of the building) and march to the San Diego Civic Center Plaza. 

"We have seen an extreme lack of transparency when it comes to Trump's business dealings," William Johnson, a march organizer, explains "whether it is renting space to foreign governments in his towers, or scamming students, or to questions around his foreign business dealings with questionable foreign nationals.  This Trump brand can now put our country at risk.  We need to know who he deals with, now that it is a matter of national security.  We must see his tax returns."

The Tax March Organizing Committee of San Diego will also present five tax demands representing the People's Priorities to local, state, and federal officials. The People's Priorities call for transparency from our officials, a shift of the federal tax burden away from the poorest Americans and onto wealthy and profitable corporations, as well as shifting our spending priorities away from endless war and incarceration, and into human services, schools, and infrastructure. 

The Tax March Organizing Committee invites everyone to join us in calling for these demands. We need an economy and a tax structure that works fairly for the 99%, and not to support the richest 1%. Join us April 15th at 10am at the County Administration Building and raise your voice for a Fair Share Tax Structure.
