Approximately 50 supporters of the Santa Cruz Eleven packed into Department 6 of the Santa Cruz Courthouse on August 20 2012, for a hearing before Judge Paul Burdick to decide if the case against the seven remaining defendants would be dismissed. The defendants, their attorneys, and supporters were disappointed when Judge Burdick ruled that the case will proceed, and scheduled a confirmation hearing on January 4 2013, at 9:00 a.m., followed by a preliminary hearing on Monday January 7.

Update on the People’s Library in Fruitvale In a historic precedent, Oakland activists took over an old abandoned library in the East Oakland district known as the "Murder Dubbs". Despite a rousing and fantastic welcome from a neighborhood struggling against an onslaught of social and infrastructural crisis, several dozen police and squad cars were dispatched by the city in a midnight raid that tossed out the new librarians. That was only the beginning of the story, however, and as the city may soon find, it's bitten off more than it m...

Victor Martinez library raided and boarded up at midnight on day one 
personal commentary, not by Biblioteca Popular:
Just before midnight dozens of police officers blocked off side streets and raided the library. City workers are boarding the building up now. Fuckers! City officials must love blight and a lack of public resources. Oakland's priorities are upside down when out of town police suck away over 40% of Oakland's budget every year and a community library operated by volunteers at no cost to city taxpayers is not allowed to exist....

2 Occupy Comrades Murdered This Week - Tsega and Alex 
On Tuesday July 31st, two steadfast Occupy comrades were violently murdered, Tsega Tsegay and Alex Mahan. Tsega was beaten to death by her husband, and Alex Mahan, a Stockton comrade, was killed in a driveby shooting. We know that these murders are the result of society built on violence, a society that destroys the lives of women, transpeople, queers, people of color, the poor, and everyone else who is not rich, white and a (cis) man. May the memories of our fallen comrades be fuel for our...
