UPCOMING EVENTS

Unless noted, all events are at FreedomPlaza (AKA CivicCenterPlaza, 1200 3rd Ave. San Diego, Intersection of 3rd Ave. and B St.)
Unless otherwise noted, we meet daily as follows:

• 4 pm -- Finance Committee Meeting, Downtown Johnny Brown's, Mon. thru Friday
  • Each committee should send a representative to this meeting! Budget is currently being defined.
• 5:30 pm -- Committee meetings -- Each will schedule the days of their meetings.
• 7pm -- General Assembly (Civic Center Plaza)
  • Saturday GA will be at 2pm.
  • GAs require 20 participants for a quorum.

• See Event list (below) and Occupy San Diego Calendar for all upcoming events. But mark your calendars now for these!

• This coming Tuesday is the first City Council meeting of the year. Public comment is held after 10am and usually completed before noon.

• Arraignment of RayLutz is scheduled for 8am, Jan 10 (Tuesday). I understand that actually means 10am. This high-profile arrest is one we should have maximal involvement of OSD because the media will likely continue to follow it. Everyone is welcome to attend if you can! Usually Dept. 3 (just to the right of the entrance) at the County Courthouse on Broadway. As usual with all court appearances, best attire is recommended.

• Very Important -- The ballot proposition to revise the encroachment law (SDMC 54.0110) will be on the agenda on Wednesday, Jan 11 (9a) at the City Council Conference room (Floor 12) of City Hall. Since it will be ON THE AGENDA, that means everyone who was arrested, cited or detained for "Encroachment" under SDMC 54.0110 should come to this meeting and SPEAK.

• Mayoral "State of the City" address Wednesday (Jan 11) at Balboa Theater, reception following at U.S. Grant Hotel. This information needs to be confirmed, with more details to follow if any actions are approved by OSD at our GA.

• Jan 14 - Occupy So Cal Meetup in Long Beach at their MLK parade. -- this event is being held by Occupy Long Beach and discussed in a recent conference call to coordinate Socal Occupies. To folks in the greater LA area, "Socal" usually does not include San Diego. Not approved for formal participation by OSD by our GA but included here for information only.

• OSD Contingent in D.C. on Jan 17. (Bus leaves Jan 13 and returns Jan 25.)
  • Updates to Road2Congress:
    • Occupy Phoenix is showing us support at the greyhound station: http://www.facebook.com/events/265918793471457/
    • Three people from Occupy Phoenix are going to join the bus with us.
    • Occupy DC is having an Occuparty after #J17 events at Mcpherson Park.
    • Round trip plane ticket is approx. $280.

• Concert fundraiser at World Beat Center featuring Liquid Blue on Jan 20. You know how great the last fundraiser concert was... this will be even better.

• Feb 4 -- Occupy San Diego County Strategy Meeting -- details TBD, OSD GA approved on 2012-01-07.
• Feb 10,11,12 -- "Occupy" the Democratic State Convention in San Diego -- NO ACTION HAS BEEN APPROVED BY THE OSD GA YET.
