Newsitem List
This action is planned around a "framework". Within those guidelines, people who participate are able to take action according to their own conscience, risk level, and ability. The action will involve sitting-in on the platform. Bring a sign or banner to display, a noisemaker, musical instrument, t-shirt, etc, but keep it in a bag until the action starts. We intend to look indistinguishable from normal commuters as we arrive on the platform. There will be a cue that the action is ...

Tony Pirone physically and verbally abused Oscar Grant and his friends, then knelt on Oscar's neck, pressing him into the BART platform as fellow BART Cop, Johannes Mehserle shot him in the back. Pirone repeated the words "BITCH ASS NI@@ER" at least twice before the fatal shot was fired. These facts were caught on videotape and have been known to BART for over a year, yet Pirone has not been fired, charged, or even disciplined for his participation in the murder of Oscar Grant. In fact, he's ...

Many advocates have been pandering to the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD).
There were two meetings held today March 29, 2010. One meeting to discuss the contracts and grants that the BAAQMD doles out without a clear goal. The second to review the many legislative bills in Sacramento that adversely impact the role of the BAAQMD in most cases. It was nauseating to hear the BAAQMD, Board members, most of them gripe about State Auditor, fault some State legislators - while wholl...

LENNAR the Rogue Developer is trying its best to hoodwink the entire world in broad daylight. Backing LENNAR the Pacific Heights Mafia.

She is asking anybody who attended those protests to review their video or photos to see if they have photos of the scene. She is also asking if anyone, who took video/photos of both the January 7th and January 14th protests, would be willing to share their footage, and possibly testify at trial about the general atmosphere of the Oscar Grant protest...

The Schwarzenegger administration has already imposed no-take reserves in the North Central Coast and Central Coast regions without proper consultation with Indian Tribes living in both regions. For example, the California Fish and Game Commission on August 5, 2009 voted for a marine reserve package that will ban the Kashia Pomo Tribe and others from harvesting abalone, mussels and seaweed off Stewarts Point as they have done for centuries....

Wednesday morning the words “f**k black people” were found chalked on sidewalk outside the Otter Express. This follows an incident the night before where an African American student was called the N-word by a student she did not know who later claimed to be “joking.” The hateful words of Wednesday morning underscore that racial insensitivity is never a joke. Racism must never be taken lightly. By Thursday night, members from all racial communities came together in solidarity with the African ...

Documentation of the annual Spring Equinox celebration in Ancient Africa. Charting the sun, moon and stars help to provide the notion of measuring Black Agriculture, and a nationwide census. Black Agriculture in the 21st Century is the foundation of Black Culture and once the Black Agenda leaders embrace the wisdom from the "Garden of Eden" then we will move beyond a 3/5ths notion of "We Count" as a forecast enumeration of Census 2010....

Nothing seems to work in favor of LENNAR at Parcel A, at Hunters Point Shipyard. Lennar has failed to adhere to the time lines set in the Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) linked to Parcel A. No one seems to care about this legal document. In recent weeks there has been Notices of Violation issued to Lennar to stop work. The Asbestos and Toxic Dust will be an issue that Lennar will have to deal with - for years and it will bring its ruin....
