Where Do We Go From Here – Chaos or Community?...

The march will go through the Santa Rosa Plaza Mall, singing “Children Must Be Free” (to the tune of “We Shall Overcome”). Come join the march —...

Thanks.

Yes, paying attention to what is happening and being respectful is common sense. In Europe there is a phrase, "ugly American," for those who are insensitive and trample over other cultures.

There is also something to be said about growing NUTRITIOUS FOOD, such as apples, rather than destroying habitat – including human habitat – to grow grapes for ALCOHOL.

Barry,

It's easy to criticize, more work to participate. Locally, in Santa Rosa, Petaluma, Sebastopol, there has been much activity around issues that effect people in the community. In Santa Rosa...

Butterfly,

I'm glad you acnowledge the wisdom in Robbie's words. It was at his home where we had strategy sessions about how to stop the entrenched cabal -- primarily the News Dept. and the...

Barrie,

You are reapeating misinformation put out by Brian Edwards-Tiekert and others on the "KPFA Worker" website (which does not represent the views of the majority of workers at KPFA) and "Save...

Dear Butterfly,


Where do you get the idea that Andrew attacked union workers? Did you not read this:

Let's not forget discussion on the importance of racial and ethnic diversity.

Interesting collage of the Jan. 6 WF action but I caution the person who produced it to not insert photos -- police in riot gear and the prison photo -- that were not from the event. No reason to...

CORRECTION: From Old Albertson's in Roseland the destination of the march will be Courthouse Square for another rally with speakers. The march will not go directly to Wells Fargo bank. Some people...

This was precisely the reason for the tent community of OWS and throughout the US -- to build relationships, communicate about what we have in common as the 99%. This is a threat to the 1% which...

Thank you, Rebecca Parker, for sharing your insight, and Larry for sharing the poem (twice : ). There is nothing to do in this moment but be still and feel the earth move in two directons.

I don't think that local credit unions, like Community First and Redwood Credity Union, make donations to progressive causes but they do keep the dollars circulating in the community. And they offer...

Whether via the OWS movement or not, each community should demand it of their city reps, county reps, etc.

I gather that you're pissed off at the Occupy Movement. But don't speak for everyone. People DO know what the message is and there is plenty good reason why they are in the streets. Electoral...

What I read here are words of a person with an inflated ego and Messiah complex. You decide who are "real people" and who are not? And you consider yourself to be humble? Is the word compassion...

Obama serves the corporatocracy well - he's their man. Ron Paul does not represent the will of the majority of people who believe in a woman's right to choose, maintaining the social safety net --...

Easy to say "sleep at home" when you have a home to sleep at. Many of the tents at SR City Hall and in cities around the US, are the "homes" of those who don't have a real roof over their heads or a...

That is a very reasonable suggestion which would not have surfaced without the occupations with tents that began the dialog in the US in NY inspired by encampments in city centers of North Africa,...

Not sure if this is where it should be posted, but I received this email from Philip Harlan after I posted my reply here.
It is a logical followup to my previous invitation to come to participate...

There is face to face dialog at the Occupy General Assemblies (GA) everyday -- 3:30 pm in Santa Rosa -- like a town-hall meeting but in a circle, where people express their concerns and listen to...

Ron Paul wants to restore America (US) by "eliminating the federal departments of energy, housing and urban development, commerce, interior, and education."?? And his supporters think this is a good...

The Occupy Santa Rosa encampment can stay until the City Council meeting this Tuesday, Nov. 1, at which time the Council will decide the fate of the Occupation. These are desperate times and it is...

Like any other group, Blacks can be fooled too. Obama was elected!

I encourage everyone to attend the Santa Rosa City Council meeting, Tuesday, Nov. 1. I don't see it on the agenda yet but there will be public comment taken sometime after 5pm. It will be good to...

If you have to ask it may be because you haven't been at the General Assemblies where people sit and dialog and make decisions by consensus. I, for one, think it would be better challenge the big...

I've been on deadline on a work project and haven't had time to check in with what is happening with OWS/OSR, etc. Will have more time now that the project is done.
