Noah Balloon, 12-11-2008 - 10:23

Tuesday night was a bitter-sweet celebration. We came together to witness the first black man who will become our president, yet watched in sadness as Florida, Arizona, Arkansas, and California all voted down equal rights for all citizens.

Join The Impact has issued a nationwide call to action for this Saturday, November 15th! Southern Oregon is joining hundreds of cities and counties across America to STOP THE H8!

Love & Rage: An RNC Reportback

Noah Balloon, 06-10-2008 - 01:00

We agree to: a rejection of capitalism, imperialism, and the state; resist the commodification of our shared and living Earth; organize on the principles of decentralization, autonomy, sustainability, and mutual aid; work to end all relationships of domination and subjugation, including but not limited to those rooted in patriarchy, race, class, and homophobia; oppose the police and prison-industrial complex, and maintain solidarity with all targets of state repression; directly confront systems of oppression, and respect the need for a diversity of tactics. Our solidarity will be based on respect for a diversity of tactics and the plans of other groups. The actions and tactics used will be organized to maintain a separation of time or space. Any debates or criticisms will stay internal to the movement, avoiding any public or media denunciations of fellow activists and events. We oppose any state repression of dissent, including surveillance, infiltration, disruption and violence. We agree not to assist law enforcement actions against activists and others.

Corporate America Wins With Trade

"Money Money Money Money" "America Wins With Trade Tour" was going to be in Medford but the day we had a successful "Fair Trade Press Conference" ( 8-8-08,  http://rogueimc.org/en/2008/08/13717.shtml ) we learned that the Free Trade Tour couldn't find a free trade venue in Southern Oregon and so these corporate cronies were heading on up to Portland....

GOOD to see the WELCOME WAGON was Rolled Out in STUMPTOWN!

Check out the video from our fun action on Monday morning outside of Triad Speakers, Inc. in northeast Portland:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaZRuyiGucw (from the Oregon Fair Trade Campaign)...

I'm voting for Hillary

cc, 11-05-2008 - 19:19

Black men could vote (1870) 50 years before women could (1920), so there is no denying that racism has been in public policy longer than sexism/male supremacy. In that, maybe it's evident that racism has also been in the public eye longer. For nowadays, racism is recognized more easily the moment it happens, and more people check themselves to see if they’re being racist.

Santa Cruz Media Summit: Live this weekend Jan. 25-27

* Peter Phillips * Following posted by a Rogue IMC volunteer as a service for independent media here in Southern Oregon...

Update by Peter Phillips and David Kubiak

Many economists now doubt that government measures can prevent a
major recession given the severe slump in the housing market, the
subprime mortgage crisis, growing unemployment, declining consumer
spending, and record high oil prices. Even harder times for working
people are undoubtedly at hand, yet mainstream corporate media
continues to lavish more attention on the Super Bowl and celebrity
misadventures than measures to protect Americans from grave personal
economic harm. We are spun, mislead, propagandized and amused to
death by our media conglomerates and as a result the US has become
the best entertained and least informed society in the world.

Ashland City Attorney Selection Process

Southern Oregon Community Coalition, 18-07-2007 - 19:43

Southern Oregon Community Coalition worked with City of Ashland to increase transparency and public participation in choosing Ashland's Police Chief (last fall) and city attorney (this spring). After 3 community panels of attorney interviews of 4 'short list' candidates resulting in 2 recommended finalists, disagreement among councilors scuttled the entire process. City attorney selection will now start over, with a proposed higher attorney salary and executive search firm. Southern Oregon Community Coalition protested the action and recommended 4 positive steps to resolution in this open letter.

****************************************************************
Sneaky Greg Walden Townhall Comes on July 3rd - Brings Protest and Testimony
****************************************************************
Medford peace group to protest Walden’s “town hall” meeting
CPJ once again asks the time-honored question: “Where’s Walden?”

Citizens for Peace & Justice will rally outside the Jackson County Courthouse Auditorium on Oakdale in Medford from 10 to 10:30 am next Tuesday, July 3rd, before Rep. Greg Walden, R-OR, begins his “town hall” meeting to protest its inadequacies.

The reason for the protest is that Walden responded to calls for a town hall meeting on the cost of the Iraq War to Oregon by scheduling a one-hour meeting from 10:30 to 11:30 am on a weekday when few working people can attend. He also scheduled a similar meeting in Grants Pass for 1:30 pm to give him a good excuse for the Medford meeting not to run long.
