The rally speakers focused on a wide variety of progressive issues — worke...

RFA Calls for a National Boycott of Safeway Supermarket Chain "It's not just about fishing, but many human activities have been banned under the MLPA Initiative in California, like kayaking, sailing and other non-fishing activities," Martin said. "As fishermen we're angry about being labeled the problem when big corporations like Safeway and Hewlett-Packard refuse to join us in calling for less water diversions to agribusiness and less heavy metals from the semiconductor industry in San Francisco Bay," Martin added, calling recreational fishermen "the o...

Republicans Win Without a Shutdown The battle over the federal budget is over — for now — and the Republicans have won. Again. Ever since Ronald Reagan won the presidential election of 1980, the Republicans’ ideological war on non-rich Americans has been in full swing, and has scored triumph over triumph despite occasional setbacks. Both major political parties are now committed to cutting the deficit on the backs of low-income, sick and disabled people while handing out tax breaks to the rich — even though cutting government ...

San Diego: Ghost Town for 10,000 Years?

Communities step up to support protection of treasured ocean areas 
This article by the Ocean Conservancy's Kaitilin Gaffney highlights several volunteer science and education programs formed to ensure the effectiveness of marine protected areas in California and Hawaii. Coastal communities depend on the ocean for jobs, food, recreation, beauty, and environmental health, and are stepping up to help the state steward ocean parks in their backyards. This kind of collaborative public private partnership is integral to the success of California's Marine Life Pro...

San Diego Hammers Down on Medical Marijuana Dispensaries, Despite Public Support 
Despite overwhelming public input asking for a looser ordinance that would allow medical marijuana dispensaries to locate in commercial areas throughout San Diego and remain open while they pursued permits, the San Diego City Council voted 5-2 on Monday, March 26 for an ordinance that will close down all dispensaries for at least a year and force them to locate only in industrial zones — inconveniently far from the patients they serve. Even most of the Councilmembers who voted for the ordinan...

S.A.M.E. Rallies Against Hate Crimes, Bullying 
Drawn by several recent hate assaults on Queer people in the Hillcrest and North Park areas, members and supporters of the San Diego Alliance for Marriage Equality (S.A.M.E.) rallied at the North Park Community Park Saturday afternoon, March 26. The rally featured speeches by openly Queer elected officials like Assemblymember Toni Atkins and School Board member Kevin Beiser, as well as ministers and others in support of Queer equality, but the most moving statements came from people who’d bee...

Queer Democrats Oppose Initiative to Add Non-Elected Members to School Board 
Two multimillionaires, Qualcomm founder Irwin Jacobs and hedge-fund CEO Rod Dammeyer, are sponsoring an initiative called “San Diegans 4 Great Schools” to add four non-elected members to the board of the San Diego Unified School District. The predominantly Queer San Diego Democratic Club debated this initiative March 24 and passed a motion urging voters not to sign to put it on the ballot. Among their concerns were the potential dilution of voter input on the school board, the presence of the...

Public Workers’ Struggle Is Our Struggle Though it ended in a setback when the Republican majority in the Wisconsin state legislature used legally dubious tactics to ram the bill through anyway, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker’s plan to strip his state’s public workers of the right to form unions and bargain collectively has engendered nationwide resistance from America’s increasingly embattled working class. Tens of thousands of people from Wisconsin and elsewhere flooded Madison, the state capital, and occupied the capitol buildin...

ACTION ALERT: San Diego City Council to Vote on Medical Pot Ban Mar. 28 
The San Diego City Council is scheduled to vote Monday, March 28 on an ordinance that would so tightly regulate medical marijuana dispensaries that it would be virtually impossible to set one up legally in the city. Advocates laid out the case against the ordinance at Activist San Diego’s March 21 meeting, pointing out that it would force all dispensaries to locate in industrial zones and be so far from heavily populated areas as to make it virtually impossible for sick people to get their me...

March 19 Anti-War Protesters Target Obama 
The annual anti-war demonstration sponsored by the San Diego Coalition for Peace and Justice (SDCPJ) in mid-March had a markedly different tone this year from the actions in 2009 and 2010. Then the protesters and rally speakers had soft-pedaled criticism of President Obama, still holding out hope that he would fulfill his campaign promise to end the U.S. occupation of Iraq and would come to realize that the war in Afghanistan — already America’s longest-lasting combat — was unwinnable and wou...

As Reformist Liberals, We Sacrificed Our Youthful Liberators 
These black-clad warriors were out there, prepared to lead the charge, much like youth today across Northern Africa and the Middle-East. They were learning, evolving, in that dark place where most activists cannot go, between mental restraint and spontaneity, a cutting edge where there are no comfort zones or fear. Seattle was our Tahrir Square but unfortunately too many of us had our lives entangled with the status quo. We let our youth down and they retreated into that sink-hole of “rugge...
