Report Back From The Camp Out At City Hall

 

March 13, 2008 - It was a chilly, rainy Seattle evening, but that did not deter the 100 to 150 people setting up tents outside City Hall. They joined the estimated 2,600 homeless persons who spent the night outside because they were unable to get into a shelter. During the speak out, the Reverend Rich Lang gave a fiery speech which called for the homeless, low income, and middle class to fight the policies of the rich that are destroying our communities.

“We have no alternative but to retreat from the Southern Ocean,” said Captain Paul Watson, Founder and President of Sea Shepherd. “We have just enough fuel to make it back to port. We’ve done everything we can do down here for this season, and it has been an enormous success. I believe we have saved the lives of over 500 whales.”

Political Repression at TESC: Administration and Police Move Against SDS

 The Evergreen State College administration has specifically targeted Olympia Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) for political repression by canceling events and threatening to suspend its student group status. This is an attack on student activism and free speech generally and on SDS' political statements and affiliations specifically. After the events of February 14th, SDS discovered that the administration had encouraged the police to investigate the organization as well as prominent activists from the Port of Olympia demonstrations. SDS was the first group to come out publicly against the administration's cooperation with law enforcement and police racism, sexism, and violence. The fact that SDS has been singled out for scrutiny highlights the administration's focus on repressing dissent.
