DESCRIPTION:OCCUPY SALTWORKS\nOccupy Cargill, Occupy DMB!Stop developers from paving 
 over the Bay!\nAPRIL 23, REDWOOD CITY - Members of OCCUPY REDWOOD CITY have 
 formed an autonomous action group called "OCCUPY SALTWORKS," a group 
 dedicated to halting the Saltworks development project proposed by DMB 
 Associates. The giant agribusiness Cargill has given DMB the authority to 
 develop Redwood City's former salt ponds.Occupy Saltworks opposes the 
 Saltworks development for a wide variety of reasons. Among their concerns 
 are: the negative impact the development will have on union jobs at the 
 Port of Redwood City; serious environmental risks related to flooding, sea 
 level rise, and earthquake liquefaction; the project's multiple violations 
 of smart growth principles; the ties members of city government like 
 council member Rosanne Foust have to this for-profit development scheme; 
 and the economic and environmental damage the development will cause to the 
 lower income communities and communities of color of Redwood City.For a 
 detailed breakdown of Occupy Saltworks' concerns, a draft statement can be 
 read here.In honor of Earth Day weekend, Occupy Saltworks' first action 
 against Cargill and DMB will take place on Monday, April 23. Occupy 
 Saltworks has been endorsed by Occupy San Jose (OSJ) and is actively 
 looking for the endorsement from General Assemblies of other Bay Area 
 Occupy groups. Occupy Saltworks is committed to being a nonviolent direct 
 action group that aims to collaborate with other community groups and 
 concerned residents in Redwood City to stop the Saltworks development.WHEN: 
 APRIL 23 (MON). People will begin to gather at 3 PM, will rallies to begin 
 in earnest at 3:30. Those who want to speak out against Cargill, DMB, or 
 the City Council will start doing so at 4 PM.WHERE: DMB Associates' Redwood
