Roe v Wade Anniversary Reproductive Rights Rally, March, & Speakout
Join us to commemorate the 39th anniversary of the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision which established the right of women to a safe and legal abortion at Occupy San Diego's Freedom Square (3rd Ave & B St, Downtown San Diego) Sunday Jan 22, 2012, from 1pm-3pm.
Unfortunately, since the histori.c Roe ruling, access to abortion has been steadily chipped away by the congress and state legislatures who cut funding and create restrictions for young women or certain procedures.
It Didn't All Start at Stonewall! Meet Two of the REAL Pioneers of Gay Liberation!
Come to a discussion led by Leo Laurence and Pat Brown, founding members of the Gay Liberation Front at Pleasures & Treasures Store, 2525 University Ave, North Park area of SD (across the street from University Ave and Arizona St)
Three months before the Stonewall Inn riots in New York city in June 1969 which are commonly(but wrongly) thought to be the start of the Gay liberation movement, a group of Gay activists in San Francisco started the nation’s first Gay Liberation Front. After one of their members was fired from his job for being Gay and “outing” himself via a photo in the Bay Area’s legendary underground newspaper, the Berkeley Barb, the San Francisco Gay Liberation Front mounted the first Gay-rights demonstration against a private employer in U.S. history in March 1969.
Rally for Bradley Manning on his 24th Birthday!
SAME (and other allied groups) is a signatory to an open letter calling for Bradley Manning to either receive an open, fair and speedy trial or to be released. Whistle-blowing on war crimes is not a crime!
Supporters will meet at the San Diego Civic Center AKA Occupy SD's Freedom Square (at 3rd ave and B street) at 3pm and march 6 blocks North to the 3rd Ave bridge over the I5 to place a banner for freeway traffic to see. We will then march back to Occupy San Diego to hold a rally and speak out.
On the 17th of December - his 24th birthday - Bradley Manning will have been incarcerated for 571 days.
MOVIE & DISCUSSION on "Brother Outsider" The Bayard Rustin Story!
SAME & the Peace Resource Center are hosting a special meeting on Tues Dec 13th at the Peace Resource Center/Church Of The Brethren. (3850 Westgate Place, San Diego, CA. 92105)
We will be a screening of the film "Brother Outsider" (The story of Civil Rights leader Bayard Rustin) beginning at 6:30pm, followed by a 30-minute discussion from 8:00-8:30pm.
Bayard Rustin was a leading strategist of the civil rights movement from 1955–1968, and he was the chief organizer of the 1963 March on Washington. He was a promoter of non-violent civil resistance, and an openly gay man who also fought for justice and equality of LGBT people.
Mr. Rustin, a Quaker, once wrote: 'The principal factors which influenced my life are 1) nonviolent tactics; 2) constitutional means; 3) democratic procedures; 4) respect for human personality; 5) a belief that all people are one.'"
