[SDCPJ] Another Free Show Tonight at Che - Come Support if You Can!

Subject: Another Free Show Tonight at Che - Come Support if You Can!
From: Jeanine Marie Webb <jeaninecat@gmail.com>

Dear Friends,

Right now at the Che we are having Rogers Community Garden outreach and a free screening of The Garden, a film about a community garden in South Central LA. (come by, we just started at 1 pm!)

This is happening today, a free show at the Che with a traditional Veracruz-style Son Jarocho band and SD caravan starting around 3 pm this afternoon, and acoustic performances by Ivan Cheoung, Christian Celesha, and Illya Shatov in the evening starting at 6:30 pm. Please come out and support the occupation. We're still not backing down, spirits are high, no cops right now. Come check it out! We have to continue action and presence because even if the cops don't have a presence right now, the administration has a history of "waiting out" occupations and sit-ins and then coming in and bulldozing the building when folks leave after Spring Break (like with the CLICS Library 3 years ago).

Also, this is a praxis of fun. Come out for the fun!  Today at the Che, free, spread the word.

This April, just before most of the world's governments meet at the United Nations for the month-long Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Review Conference, thousands of people from around the world will mobilize to demand the total elimination of nuclear weapons, and to connect and strengthen the movements for peace and environmental, economic, and racial justice.

Hope to see you. We have an updated plan! https://www.facebook.com/events/342766542589609/

For our third get together, come help us move forward more ~ we have a plan and need YOUR feedback and involvement! 

1. We'll introduce the "topics" and a potential plan, confirm it makes sense (or not!) and discuss: What is exciting and/or useful about it?

2. Then break into small groups by topic, and discuss who/what/why/when/how... Why does this topic matter? (such as, what is "current" about it?) What action/program do we like? Who do we want to connect with? How do we go forward together? What else is needed to do this?

--- The PRC Community Conversations Series ---

What do YOU care about?

Why do you ACT?

How can we SUPPORT you?

In 2015, the Peace Resource Center (PRC) is turning 35. We want this year to be a reviving re-envisioning of our future, our service to community and the world… So, WE NEED YOU!

Join us for Community Conversations

the LAST SATURDAY each month, 10am – 12pm 

at the PRC, 3850 Westgate Pl.

We'll gather inside our space at the Friends Center, enjoy light refreshments, talk about current issues, build community, as well as brainstorm together about what matters and our next steps, asking questions, planning new possibilities, and linking the past to the present and future… for PEACE & JUSTICE!

[SDCPJ] Bill to automatically register Cali. males for a future draft, act by 3/31!

Californians:

 

Please use the FCL-CA email system to send messages opposing AB 82 to the Assembly Transportation Committee. You can modify the text in their system if you want to shorten your letter or focus on a particular set of arguments. Opposition letters from organizations are especially effective since they will be listed in the report from the committee's legislative analyst--but they must be received by March 31 (hearing is April 6).

 

Attached to this is a list of talking points from Committee Opposed to Militarism and the Draft (comdsd.org) that focus on some key arguments that are being used by Selective Service to win over legislators. You can borrow from this as well.

 

Rick Jahnkow

For Californians:

Subject:	CA Driver's License = Selective Service Registration?
Date:	Wed, 25 Mar 2015 12:40:13 -0400
From:	Friends Committee on Legislation of California <kevan@fclca.org>
Reply-To:	Friends Committee on Legislation of California <kevan@fclca.org>

News From Sacramento Apply for a driver's license = Selective Service registration? Take Action! Tell the Assembly "No" on AB 82   Yet again the federal Selective Service System is pushing hard for a law that will force boys and young men ages 16-25 to consent to registering for Selective Service in order to apply for a California driver's license. By filling out an application to drive, males who are 18-25 years old must allow the state to forward their "identifying information" to the federal government for registration right away and those under 18 will be automatically registered when they reach 18.   The bill will be heard very soon in the Assembly Transportation Committee and we need to get letters of opposition in by March 31. This hearing is one of the most critical times we can weigh in, so please take action now!   We've prepared a sample letter with some of the most important arguments against this bill.  You can send the letter "as is" or edit it to highlight the points that are most important to you or to add your personal views. Please act now!   Thank you! Friends Committee on Legislation of California

[SDCPJ] An Open Letter to Pradeep Khosla: News reports on today's protest agai nst eviction of C.H.E. CAFE

An Open Letter to Pradeep Khosla:
News reports on today's protest against eviction of C.H.E. CAFE

---------- Forwarded Open Letter ----------

Subject: News reports on today's protest against eviction of CHE CAFE

Dear Chancellor Pradeep Khosla:

 

Please see below a collection of the local news reports today. Although reporters tend to find the facts complex and may get various points not quite right, they are attracted to this story like iron to a magnet because they know there is truly 'something rotten in Denmark'. You are giving UCSD a black eye. You know the C.H.E. Cafe is not only supported by punk rock fans in their teens and twenties, right? You know that doctors, lawyers, engineers, scientists, journalists, editors, artists and intellectuals and highly respected professionals in all spheres also support it, right? 

 

If you think the past year of conflict over the C.H.E. Cafe is nearing an end point, you are sorely mistaken. Now that you have actually served an eviction notice on the C.H.E. Cafe Collective, the real conflict is only just beginning.The Artists' Boycott of UCSD will expand. An Alumni Boycott will be started. You may expect to see the misconduct of your administration become an issue in the Academic Senate. Your tenure as UCSD Chancellor may prove to be one of the shortest in history.

 

You can stop this at any moment. Stop the eviction. Restore the lease. Stop lying about the safety and structural soundness of the building. It is not truly an old building, even. Certainly not by East Coast or Old World standards.

 

Instead of creating intense divisions in our community and wasting probably more than $100,000 of tax-payer money on attorney fees and court costs (thus far), trying to obliterate a cultural and educational treasure and a shining light of University Diversity, you could devote a little energy toward nurturing it. You could seek alumni donations and endowments for it, and for the other campus student cooperatives.

 

Perhaps this is all a matter of you getting very bad advice and incomplete information from your subordinates. You could publicly say so and apologize. You could replace some of them.

 

 

Sincerely,
Monty Kroopkin, B.A, UCSD Class of 1981
