Congress Needs to Extend Emergency Unemployment Insurance - Now
Chuck Sheketoff--Oregon Center for Public Policy, 31-12-2012 - 04:12
THIS IS A STORY FOR ALL OREGON -- Here in Southern Oregon ordinary working people and their families are suffering—rogue valley independent media center volunteer
"CONGRESS NEEDS TO EXTEND EMERGENCY UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE - NOW"—by Chuck Sheketoff
Tens of thousands of unemployed Oregonians need Congress to act now to extend Emergency Unemployment Insurance.
Emergency unemployment compensation is helping 29,240 Oregonians who, despite looking for over 26 weeks, have not been hired. That is about the number (29,600) of Oregonians OCPP estimates will abruptly lose benefits on December 29 if Congress does not act to extend the program, reducing the number receiving unemployment compensation support of any kind by a third.
The disappearance of this safety net, however, will have an even wider impact. Also affected will be those who will exhaust their 26 weeks of state benefits after December 29. OCPP estimates that about 12,100 Oregon workers will be in this situation during just the first three months of 2013

Medea Benjamin's keynote address at the Peace House 30th anniversary celebration
Allen Hallmark, 22-10-2012 - 15:23
An abridged introduction from author Allen Hallmark follows...
Today I decided to share an article about Medea Benjamin's speech last Friday evening (Nov. 19, 2012). I believe that what she had to say about Pakistan and drone warfare is important enough to ask you to consider reading this longish article, which I composed this morning from my notes. Thanks.
Medea Benjamin is one of the co-founders of CodePink and Global Exchange and has been a powerful advocate for peace and economic and social justice for the past 30 years. She was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize along with other women in 2005 and was the 2010 recipient of the Martin Luther King Jr. Peace Prize.
Medea is just back from Pakistan where she was a leader of a delegation of peace and justice advocates who went there to show Pakistanis that there are many Americans who want the U.S. to stop killing Pakistani civilians with drone attacks. She received the Marjorie Kellogg National Peacemaker Award at the Peace House 30th Anniversary Dinner at Southern Oregon University on Saturday, Oct. 19, 2012. Ms. Benjamin’s most recent book, Drone Warfare: Killing by Remote Control, was published earlier this year and informed the speech she gave at the Peace House dinner. Keep reading to see my summary of her speech...

We, the International League of Peoples’ Struggle (ILPS), condermn in the strongest terms the duplicitous scheme of the US and NATO in instigating, funding and arming the so-called Syrian National Council and Free Syrian Army to seek the violent overthrow of the Assad government in Syria and at the same time pushing a “peace plan” and then a “transitional government” under the auspices of the UN in order to politically outmanuever the Assad government and the anti-imperialist and democratic forces.

The idea of the worldwide Children's Revolution on May Day is for the women and children in the environmental movement to lead the marches all over the earth, and show that the World Revolution is peaceful and will save humanity from being driven to extinction by the burning of fossil fuels.
The proposal for the worldwide Children's Revolution is for kids' marches to be at the front of all the protests during the global General Strike, and for everyone else to lend their support by displaying banners reading “CAN YOU SAVE THE HUMAN RACE?” to help ensure the survival of future generations.

THE SOUTHERN OREGON WALMART CAMPAIGN
As Walmart celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, we will paint the true story of Walmart and how they undermine our values and re-write the rules of our society. We have plenty of fodder here in Southern Oregon! Walmart continues to be prolific with stores in Grants Pass, Klamath Falls, Talent, Eagle Point and now being constructed is the monstrous new eyesore, the Walmart superstore going up near the South Medford interchange of Interstate-5.
NEW LOOK — OLD CAMPAIGN
Southern Oregon Jobs with Justice is itching to organize and involve area activists in taking a new look at an old campaign. We the 99% are ready to focus on the 1% who have stolen our democracy. There is no better place to start than Walmart. Look at this new website which shows us the Walmart — 1% connection: http://www.jwj.org/blog/1-behind-walmart
SOJwJ is looking for a few hard-core-planners who are ready to roll up sleeves and get to work. We will creatively put together a big educational lesson plan for Southern Oregon: "Understanding Trade, our Local Economy and WALMART." Serious inquiries only!
