Candlelight Vigil to Support Bradley Manning
Friday, December 16th 4:30 til 6pm
Downtown Ashland at the Plaza

After 560 days of confinement the Military has finally announced the pretrial hearing for PFC Bradley Manning. The hearing will commence on December 16th at Fort Meade, Maryland. This will be PFC Manning’s first appearance before a court and the first time he will face his accusers after 17 months in (mostly solitary) confinement.

PFC Bradley Manning is accused of releasing to Wikileaks video depicting the killing of journalists and wounded civilians by an Apache helicopter in Iraq as well as the Afghan War Diary, the Iraq War Logs, and U.S. Diplomatic Cables. In short, he has been charged with telling people the truth. Vigils and Protests will be held worldwide to stand in solidarity.


Bring candles, signs, and your solidarity

Oregon can follow Vermont's lead! "How We Won Health Care for All," a presentation by the Vermont WorkersCenter
Wednesday, December 14, 7:00 p.m.
Rogue Valley Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, 87 Fourth St., Ashland

In June 2010, Vermont signed into law a plan to create a statewide, universal health care system. Now the spirit of Vermont is coming to Oregon. Come hear from two members of the Vermont Workers Center, whose three-year campaign convinced the Vermont legislature to declare health as a human right. This presentation will be followed by break-out groups of local folks to get involved in the continuing campaign for universal health care in Oregon. Suggested donation, $10. No one turned away.

Occupation with Conviction, Occupying Congressional Representative Greg Walden

* I N D E P E N D E N T * M E D I A *, 06.12.2011 - 14:59
Deb & Pete declaring occupation Medford, Oregon 12/5/11-
Occupation of the Second Congressional District in Oregon was a smashing success Monday. On a foggy frozen day, the sun broke mid-morning in Medford and even though the temperature stayed in the thirties 99 percent folk like you and me gathered. We occupied downtown Vogel Plaza and we occupied our Congressional District office, too. We all showed up to ask one unified question: W H E R E ' S * W A L D E N ?

The photos were all shot at Monday's Where's Walden? Occupation Rally downtown in Vogel plaza, or 1/2 block away at Representative Greg Walden's Medford field office. Occupation of the office landed six arrests for trespass. Pictures show support activities on the sidewalk out front, while other shots are inside Walden's office where occupiers sat-in from 11am until after 6pm refusing to leave unless Congressman Walden agreed to start having regular public town hall meetings around the district, something that he refuses to do. The sit-in act of civil disobedience ended with the six arrests by the Medford City police. There are photos of each arrestee to end this photo memory.

It was an amazing day. Smashingly successful and peaceful too! Keep on reading to learn about other Walden Occupiers around Oregon's Second Congressional District. Eight were arrested in Bend about the very same time as the Medford Six.

Workers Occupy Ashland Food Co-op N9 BOD meeting

Workers at the Ashland Food Co-op have been under attack! It is their right to have an open and fair election. The union organizing drive has brought on anti-union sentiment and a grotesque dose of ignorance, too.

Watch this movie from the November 9th Board of Directors meeting at Ashland Food Co-op.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMEyt20jtH0

In Wake of Violence, Veterans Join Occupy

Vanessa Houk, 17.11.2011 - 00:41
Local members of Veterans for Peace join Occupy Ashland on Oct. 6 The video of Scott Olsen being shot by tear gas projectiles at Occupy Oakland on October 25, looks and sounds like it is happening in the middle of a war zone. The camera is held by shaking hands as the crowd is screaming and shots are fired. Smoke from several explosions fill the darkened early morning air. Without some visual clues, this could be Baghdad, not the port of San Francisco Bay. A terrified voice screams “Medic, medic” after we see half a dozen protesters carrying Olsen’s body, which is draped with a Veterans for Peace flag, towards safety. Olsen, a 24 year old Marine, served two tours in Iraq only to be wounded on his home turf by peace officers who wore riot gear to break up Occupy Oakland protest before sunrise on that fateful day. Olsen’s injuries included a skull fracture for which he is still being treated for. What happened to Olsen has provoked veterans all across the country to join the Occupy Movement in droves.
