NEWS

• Occupiers are sleeping again at Freedom Square.
  • Press Conference on Dec. 7 including Martin Eder from Activist SD, Sandy N, from the Labor Council, Julie, who is on day 4 of her Hunger Strike, and Jim Miller, AFT Vice-President, author & SDCC Prof, on the failure of elected city leaders to support Occupy San Diego exercising our first amendment rights in Civic Center.
  • Afterwards, John Kenney, who is on Day 31 (as of Dec 8th) of his hunger strike protesting this lack of response from our elected leaders, and others risked arrest by simply laying down their sleeping bags -- and lying down themselves -- in front of the doors of City Council.
  • They were not arrested. They plan to be there again the night of Dec. 8th and are looking for others to join them.
• Arrests Update!
  • Claudia Acevedo -- arrested early Monday morning supposedly for illegal lodging is now free and back at Civic Center.
  • The arraignment for the 51 arrested on Oct 21 is Friday, Dec 9th at 12:30 at the downtown courthouse. Be there and show your support.
• Get the word out
  • We have several events that we need you to attend as well as help in promoting, including the Candlelight Vigil & Silent March for the Unemployed on December 8, the the West Coast Port Shutdown on December 12, and the Occupy SD benefit concert at The Ruby Room on December 14.
  • Tell your friends either in person, through tweeting a link on Twitter (remember to include #osd, #occupysandiego, and/or #occupysd), confirm you are attending on a Facebook event, reblog on Tumblr, or just print out some flyers and pass them out to your friends, loved-ones, acquaintances, as well as those who will soon fall into one of those categories once you give them a flyer.
  • See Occupy San Diego Events as well as http://sdoccupypress.org/2011/12/07/occupy-the-weekend-occupy-san-diego-declares-a-4-day-weekend/ for details of this weekend's events.

Despite what you might hear on the corporate-owned news:

• The occupation continues, around the clock.
• PLEASE COME DOWN when you can and help with numbers. This is your true vote. Stay at home = vote against 99%.
• Tents and almost everything is now being restricted by the police.
• Food is needed -- we no longer have a food table, so you'll have to play it by ear.
• We will not be denied our constitutional right to assemble and speak!
• Many Teach-ins on Sunday!
