Immigrant Rights Marches Still ON Despite Swine Flu Hysteria 
The organizers of an immigrant rights march in the city of San Jose, California are staying in close contact with Santa Clara County health officials. They have confirmed that there is NO BAN on public gatherings. Furthermore it is unlikely that there will BE any such ban anytime soon. The large amount of publicity about Swine Flu right now, right around the time of immigrant rights actions across the nation, raises questions in many minds.
A quick internet search shows that NO immigrant ...

Solar Photovoltaic Permit Fee survey for Silicon Valley as of April 2009

Whose ‘Tea Party’? I might have been a perfect candidate to demonstrate at the San Jose “tea party.” Like colonists more than 200 years ago, I could have held a sign that said, “No taxation without representation.” That’s because I’m an undocumented immigrant, and a taxpayer. And I don’t receive any of the taxpayer benefits, including the right to vote....

San Jose "Tea Party" Brings out the Worst of the Right Wing 
The FOX-News heavily promoted anti- tax "tea parties" meant party-time for some of the worst of the right wing in San Jose, California today. Their signs signaled everything from racism, to homophobia, to misogyny. From noon about 100 gathered in front of the IRS building in downtown San Jose. They were countered by a smaller contingent of anti-war/anti-racism seasoned activists. But the tea party participants weren't listening....

Marriott Workers Settle Contract, Other Hotel Employees in South Bay Continue Struggle 
On March 16, San Jose Marriott workers approved a contract with the hotel after months of stalled negotiations and demonstrations in front of the hotel.

Antiwar Protests: 6 Years and Counting 
Demonstrations on the sixth anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq were smaller than during the Bush years owing to the “Obama factor,” but more unified than ever against the occupations of Afghanistan and Palestine. The most visible opposition to antiwar has shifted from flag-waving ultra-nationalists to the defenders of Israel. Despite this, far more American Jews demonstrated against the occupations than in support of Israel....
