Nov 14, 2011, for immediate release
Counties worsening vendetta against 'Occupy' Eureka
In this long night before the dawn of America's awakening, cops again raided the 'Occupy' Eureka encampment, arresting some 20 people and tearing apart their newest Action Encampment, rebuilt only 3 days ago before a crowd on Veterans Day in honoring Scott Olsen, Iraq vet, a victim of cop brutality in Oakland's Occupation. This had been a great collective effort in also establishing an outreach center and library as part of its ongoing demonstrations after the first camp had been destroyed days earlier.

Giving Voice to Ohio Workers is a Win for All Workers
S E C R E T A R Y * O F * L A B O R, 11-11-2011 - 05:34
This victory is for all workers! In Southern Oregon early this year We Stood Up in solidarity with Wisconsin workers when they were under attack. Strong public rallies in both Medford and Ashland were consistent with a working class message of solidarity. People get it. We are the 99%. We will build a strong working class—Wes Brain
During an Ohio labor referendum Tuesday, a majority of voters rejected a state law that would have limited the collective bargaining rights of thousands of teachers, firefighters and police officers. "Ohio has made it clear: these dedicated public servants still need a seat at the table to demand fairness, dignity and respect — especially in tough economic times. Through their unions, they have a voice in their workplace, in their future and, most importantly, in our future," said Secretary Labor Hilda Solis in a statement.

Roseburg Forest Prod. Customer List Released
Forest Web, 11-10-2011 - 02:33
Roseburg Forest Product's customer email list was "discovered" and an email was sent to all, enlightening those folks to what's going on in the Elliot State Forest. This isn't about environmentalists vs. loggers--one of the serious demands of the movement is to ban raw log exports. This is about protecting public lands from corporate greed.

Next Tuesday, Oct 11, 2011, Congress takes up consideration of three Bush-era proposed Free Trade Agreements submitted for ratification by the Obama Administration. If approved, many Oregonians can forget about having a secure economic future, as hundreds of thousands of jobs filled by US workers get swept overseas. How could this happen?

“Stop the Machine! – Create a New World!”
O C C U P Y * A S H L A N D (oregon), 04-10-2011 - 01:35
There will be an occupation on October 6th, beginning at 3pm in the Ashland, Oregon downtown plaza in solidarity with a national occupation of Freedom Plaza in Washington D.C. The occupation is focused on speaking out against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and more generally, subversion of a global system which perpetuates those conflicts. Participants are encouraged to sign a pledge which reads,
“I pledge that on October 6, 2011, I will stand shoulder-to-shoulder with my brothers and sisters around the world, who will be occupying parks, plazas and financial centers in opposition to the illegal occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq and the economic exploitation that plagues most of the world. Locally, we will occupy the Downtown Plaza in Ashland, Oregon, to show our unity to create a better world. The 6th begins a new day in the United States and the world. The people will not stand silent any longer. The time has come to resist.”

Stop the machine! Create a New World!
Southern Oregon, 28-09-2011 - 13:10
STOP THE MACHINE! CREATE A NEW WORLD!
CALL TO ACTION!
OCTOBER 6TH
DOWNTOWN PLAZA IN ASHLAND, OREGON
October 2011 marks the 10th anniversary of the invasion of Afghanistan and the beginning of the 2012 federal austerity budget. On October 6, 2011, we will stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Washington, D.C., where a huge rally will be taking place. We stand with them for a better world, for a world which refuses to sit in drugged silence as the system around it perpetuates oppression and the illegal wars that impose it. We will stand together against economic exploitation and demand that our economy meets human needs instead of Wall Street profits.
For too long we have stood idly by, hiding our faces from the suffering around us, hoping that it will disappear on its own or that some mythical Other will save us from our own society. It is time for us to wake up, to wake up to the fact that we create the substance of our society and that against the determined will of the people nothing can stand; we must take courage and act. Neither time nor a different president will heal the wounds in our world; only we the people can. We are up for the task. Together we can create the future we envision of peace, justice and equality.

Communique from the Buenos Aires Support Netw
Support Network, Buenos Aires, 19-09-2011 - 14:16
We never forget our imprisoned comrades. We don’t mystify our respect for them but neither are we indifferent to their everyday experience. Solidarity is not, as has been demonstrated on several occasions, just a beautiful word or a slogan, but a practice inseparable from our struggle. This can be expressed in many diverse ways, and there are moments when an idea takes shape with forcefulness and continuity. Given the delicate situation (in court and in prison) that faces our comrades Juan Aliste Vega, Marcelo Villarroel Sepúlveda, and Freddy Fuentevilla Saa, who are currently held captive in prisons of the Chilean state, several individuals from Buenos Aires have decided to form a new support network in order to provide updates and disseminate information about their situation, as well as hopefully assisting in their return to the streets.

Mt. Ashland Ski Expansion Moves Forward
Ashland Cascadian, 05-09-2011 - 19:05
On Friday, September 1st the Regional Forest Service in Southern Oregon (with the support of the District office) gave the approval for Mount Ashland Association to go ahead with ski expansion plans on Mt. Ashland. Now we are within at 15 day comment period where those who are opposed to the expansion can challenge this decision. The forest service next step is to go the US District Court in Medford to get the injunction lifted so that MAA can go forwarded with construction and logging. MAA has said it could begin logging as early as mid September.
Mount Ashland Association is also in the process of making a decision whether they will accept the conditions to take the special use permit that the City of Ashland currently holds. If they do accept the conditions the city council will give them the special use permit and MAA will have to provide proof that they have the $700,000 for restoration of the headwaters in the expansion if anything goes wrong. They would also have to have raised approximately 3 million dollars for the first part of the expansion before proceeding forward. If MAA decides to not accept the special use permit with the conditions then the city will continue to hold it and MAA can go ahead with the expansion without those requirements.
Rogue Valley Sierra Club is going to challenge the Forest Service decision. If the court in Medford decides to lift the injunction to allow for construction to move forward the Sierra Club does have plans to challenge this in the Federal 9th Circuit Court. Rogue Valley Sierra Club, Center for Biological Diversity and Oregon Wild also have plans to present a new lawsuit.
