Corporate Agriculture's Campaign for Exclusion from the Endangered Species Act
, 03.07.2009 19:09
A massive campaign is underway to "turn on the pumps" and deliver additional water to farms in the western Central Valley. Agribusiness interests and their allies claim environmental and water activists care more about fish than people and are demanding more water, now!

Homeless Organize, Stand Together and Win
, 03.07.2009 16:38
On Monday June 29th, the City of Grand Junction tried to pass two emergency ordinances outlawing "soliciting," also known as flying a sign or spanging. What stopped the city from moving forward with these laws was a strong, large, and loud group of homeless people and younger radicals. No one came to support the law, and over a hundred people came to oppose it. Solidarity Not Charity (our FNB out here in GJ) provided food and water serving on the city halls lawn. Live tunes were provided by, local band Fast Food Kings, and out-of-towners Chicken Little, who were hell a cool about relocating from the infoshop to city hall to play.

David Irving, a Holocaust-Denier and Anti-Semitic to speak in San Francisco, Sacrameto

Rose City Antifa writes:, "This July, David Irving, a British neo-fascist and fraudulent historian, goes on the road in the United States, planning to hold approximately one and a half dozen speaking engagements over the course of a month. As militant anti-racists and anti-fascists, we are making a public call for resistance at each stop along the way of this tour."
PDX Queer Town Hall
, 02.07.2009 22:40
PDX QUEER TOWN HALL
7pm Tuesday, July 7th, 2009
The Q Center (4115 N Mississippi)
ABOUT
Over PDX Pride weekend 2009, multiple members of our community experienced harassment, violence & queer-bashing, as well as inadequate police response. A group of us who were pretty directly involved in the incidents, came together to create space to talk about what happened, and move toward some positive & empowering solutions; thus the Town Hall concept was born. We see this Queer Town Hall as a space to share our experiences & resources, and to catalyze action that can help keep ourselves and our communities safer in the future. The meeting itself will begin with a short introduction, followed by breakout groups which will be spread around the room. This is an opportunity to hear about ideas that are currently in the works, to get involved, and share!
Cascadia Trans’ & Womyn’s Action Camp 2009 Reportback
, 02.07.2009 22:40
This year Cascadia made home to the now annual Trans & Womyn's Action Camp.
Cascadia hasn't hosted a camp of this sort in a few years, unfortunately. This camp alone brought out so many new faces and introduced them to the radical environmental movement that we decided it must continue out here, in coordination with other Trans and Womyn's spaces that correlate with future Earth First! Rendezvous.
Taking place in workshops spaces such as Learn First! and Share Garden, the schedule was widely diverse with issues of forest defense techniques, tactics of non-violent direct action, strategic campaigning, supporting mental health wellness & burnout, gender identity, sex work, DIY reproductive health (where many women saw a cervix for the first time!), how to call out oppressive behavior in a constructive way, etc. There was a large focus on anti-oppression by having three unique AO scheduled workshops, with additions of an impromptu critical discussion on privilege and oppression in the larger EF! movement, which eventually turned into a discussion about environmental racism and environmental justice. And prior to that there was an in-depth discussion on how to incorporate the safer space of TWAC- trans-inclusiveness, solidarity, and anti-oppression- at the upcoming EF! Round River Rendezvous, which eventually turned into trying to rally folks to attend the EF! RRR.
Beyond having some really amazing & critical workshops, we also had lots of fun ones!

No Pride in Apartheid or Gavin Newsom's Budget Cuts
, 02.07.2009 08:10
On Sunday, June 28, two groups of radical queer activists demonstrated against other contingents participating in the 2009 Pride Parade in San Francisco. Members of the International Jewish Solidarity Network marched and protested Zionist presence at the Pride Parade. Another group staged a die-in in front of Gavin Newsom's float at the annual Pride Parade to protest cuts to HIV/AIDS prevention, queer youth programs, and other vital services.
Garo�a, cierre ya!! Reubicaci�n de l@s trabajador@s!!

La Central Nuclear de Santa Mar�a de Garo�a lleva en funcionamiento desde 1971. Se encuentra situada en el valle de Tobalina (Burgos - Espa�a), m�s cerca de Bizkaia de lo deseable por sus ciudadan�a, a menos de 30 Km. en l�nea recta de Urdu�a, cerca de 40 Km. en l�nea recta de Enkarterriak y a escasos 85 km. de Bilbo. En el a�o 1999, se le concedi� una extensi�n de la licencia de funcionamiento por 10 a�os mas.Actualmente la central de Garo�a es la �nica en el estado espa�ol que sigue usando la tecnolog�a denominada de "primera generaci�n",dicha tecnolog�a se dej� se usar a raiz del accidente de la central de la Isla de las Tres Millas en EEUU. A pesar de las promesas del gobierno de Zapatero all� en el 2004, que aseguraban el progresivo cierre de las centrales nucleares, �ste gobierno esta cediendo ante las presiones del lobby energ�tico nuclear, para conseguir la ampliaci�n de licencia de Garo�a. Ante el evidente peligro que supone la central de Garo�a para la poblaci�n, movimientos sociales, ecologistas y pol�ticos se han manifestado por el cierre de la central, y asi lo han mostrado con las diferentes movilizaciones habidas en las �ltimas semanas.

Раздача отловленных животных
, 02.07.2009 08:07
Раздача отловленных животных. 3-4 июля на ГП "Фауна города" устраивает раздачу отловленных животных. Руководство говорит, что в эти дни не будут насчитывать тарифы, т.е. собаку или кота можно будет забрать БЕСПЛАТНО!! Это хороший шанс для большинства этих животных спастись от так называемой "эвтаназии", а на деле - негуманной и абсурдной процедуры умерщвления. В последнее время последовательные увеличения тарифов содержания животных, привели к тому, что суммы за некоторых животных оказываются не по карману тем людям, кто хотели бы их забрать. Официальная информация от самого предприятия вскоре должна появится в СМИ, но чем раньше мы начнем рассказывать об этом, тем у большего количества животных появится шанс. Приглашаем 3 и 4 июля, пятницу и субботу, прийти и выбрать себе животное - домой или на охрану. Планируется разместить животных перед входом в здание ГП "Фауна города", так что с ними можно будет пообщаться, приласкать, вдумчиво выбрать себе друга. Приходите и приводите…

Coos Bay; Public Comments on Jordan Cove EIS
, 02.07.2009 05:40
Here is an online listing of the comments from members of the public regarding the Jordan Cove corporation's planned liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility planned for the north spit of Coos Bay, OR.
In addition to risks from a severe seismic event on the Cascadia Subduction Zone, other risks include loss of eelgrass beds from dredging to allow the LNG tankers passage. Eelgrass is the base of the river's estuary food pyramid and loss of eelgrass beds from excess dredging would result in loss of fisheries..
Community Building and Networking
, 02.07.2009 05:37
On Sunday, June 28th two entities—Activists Against Racism Movement and Down In the Dirt Productions—pooled their ideas, time, and resources to create a venue to unite local community members with one another and with grassroots organizations, local political candidates, and small businesses in the Greater Rochester area. From progressive Democrats to radical students, performance artists to published authors, STD educators to crime preventers, the wealth of collective expertise shared at the Main St. Armory was rich indeed. An indymedia correspondent was able to catch up with some of the organizers and participants of the day's event to discuss the importance of building strong communities.
Protesters warn, fear that coup in Honduras could spark civil war
, 02.07.2009 04:23
At Noon on July 1, protesters from a long list of groups showed up outside the US State Dept with three demands: Cut off all US aid to Honduras until President Zelaya returns safely to office, impose financial sanctions against the coup plotters, and investigate any role played in the coup by the US ambassador to Honduras.
Newsom Hid in His Office on a Crowd of Tenants Seeking Renter's Relief Measures
, 02.07.2009 01:10
Michael Steinberg Writes:, "Today San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom hid in his office and locked the door on a crowd of tenants who came to petition him to support a package of renter relief measures. The SF Board of Supervisors passed the package earlier this month, but not by a veto proof margin, and Newsom has said he will veto it."

Murdering thug, William Bergin does jail time
, 02.07.2009 00:39
Former Sandy Cop, and murdering, stalking, drunk driving, thug, William Bergin plead guilty to a very reduced charge last Thursday: From the original indictment by a (not so) grand jury, for felony identity theft, first-degree official misconduct and use of an invalid driver's license, he was allowed by the infamous John Foote (DA for Clackamas County), to plead guilty to misdemeanor "official Misconduct," and to do the perp walk to jail for a very harsh sentence: twenty four freakin hours in jail, no doubt in the VIP suite. WTF?
Mr. Bergin, for those who do not remember, is one of two (protect and serve) officers from Clackamas County, who, finding a badly burned, injured, naked (clothes burned off his body) and totally unarmed, "catatonic" according to their statements, Fouad Kaady, could think of no way to help him, so they tasered him until their alter penises were completely discharged of electricity, and then pumped five shots into his body.
Post Let Live Demonstrations Report Back
, 02.07.2009 00:39
Le Pigeon, at SE 8th & Burnside, and Sel Gris, at SE 18th & Hawthorne, weren't expecting 50+ activists to roll up on Saturday night to call them out on grotesque animal abuses. Charged chanting and severe shaming went non-stop for almost an hour at each foie gras restaurant Saturday night. Force-feeding geese and ducks until they die is a cruel tradition for a disgusting delicacy of despair. You can do what you want, I'm going to act to remove foie gras from menus and markets whenever possible.
Dr. Eliott Spindel was cooling out in his Lake Oswego castle on Sunday night when around 40 demonstrators, most with their identities concealed behind bandannas and hoodies, sent him vocal hell for a half hour. Next, Ungar Furs owner Horst Grim was paid a visit all the way in Happy Valley where the defenders of fur bearers raised an uproar for another 30 minutes. Just after the activists drove away in a bio-diesel bus named "Cool", a cop cited a legal observer for littering when a piece of video camera tape wrapper was accidentally dropped. Otherwise they were as kind as defenders of animal abusers and greedy corporate capitalism could be.

Olympia Fuck the War 4th of July Bash to Support Anti-war organizing and PMR
, 01.07.2009 23:39
Fuck the war! On July 4th we're throwing a party to support anti-war organizing and Port Militarization Resistance (PMR). BBQ starts at 4:00 (vegan food available), DJ Arrives (read: partying starts) at 9:00. It's at 8th and Cushing, Olympia. This is a great way to get involved in anti-war organizing in the area, meet some new friends, and kick it with old ones. You won't want to miss this one!
Racist Activity in the NW District
, 01.07.2009 23:39
Racist propaganda found
Recently in the NW district there have been overtly racist stickers being put on signs, posts, newspaper dispensers, phone booths, etc. The stickers are for a group or individual called WILD (White Identity Love Defense). Some stickers have a picture of a tiger, and read, "WILD Portland," while others simply state, "White Identity." However, this weekend a new variety that reads, "Resist The Jews" was seen, so be on the lookout, not just for these, but any new variety of racist propaganda. The heavy concentration of the stickers has been on NW 21st and 23rd avenues. Furthermore, they have been quickly replaced once taken down. Some of these stickers have a website on them. The website itself is not much more than a hub with links to other sites, however the sites that the creator linked to is cause for concern. Some are anti-Semitic, some bemoan immigration (not merely undocumented immigration, but all immigration that "threatens a white majority."), and one is to Stormfront, the leading far-right forum whose members have celebrated such recent tragedies as the murder of Dr. Tiller in Kansas.
Columbia River Crossroads: info on the Columbia River Crossing
, 01.07.2009 23:39
A 10 lane bridge, while still too big, would be preferable to the current 12 lane concept, and there are signs that a smaller bridge might become the new concept
One of the things that jumped out at me from the fact sheets I got at the recent Columbia River Crossing "open house", (last Wednesday), was a projection from a sheet titled, "Traffic Effects of 8, 10 and 12 Lane Scenarios." This sheet compares the "local streets impacted by I-5 backups" in a 10 lane and 12 lane bridge scenario. In the 12 lane scenario, of course, there are no local streets impacted by an I-5 backup, either in Portland or Vancouver.
But in the 10 lane scenario, there are six streets or highways that are impacted. All but one of them are in Vancouver. So this really is a Clark County thing. The new bridge must be as large as possible so drivers from the northernmost reaches of Clark County, and probably beyond, can get to Portland in time for...whatever.
"5th Annual Old Time American Flag Burn" Sparks a Reaction
, 01.07.2009 22:09
For the 5th year running, the burning of American flags will take place on Friday, July 3rd at Seabright Beach in Santa Cruz. Organizers say they raise the burning flag up as a sacred symbol representing their highest ideals as Americans, and that the "American Flag is so great a symbol that it represents the right to burn it."
Robert Norse comments, "Burning a flag in solidarity with the Honduran people on July 4th makes more sense to me than burning a flag as a celebration of the First Amendment. Divorcing flag-burning from its visceral ('Yanqui, go home!') content is a way of stripping the action of its force."
