Undignified Corporate Takeover ➡ Ashland Community Hospital
S T O P * D I G N I T Y * H E A L T H, 19-10-2012 - 20:55
Here is the latest on the "Corporate Takeover" in (so-called) progressive Ashland, Oregon!
Following you will find a well written update on how things stand regarding the current takeover of our community hospital. Our city council is run by the chamber of commerce and they line up time and time again to do the bidding for the 1%. The privatization of what we locally have owned continues and it hurts to see this happening not just here, but everywhere.

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!

Nick Patterson, 15-01-2012 - 19:15
To our dearest compatriots here in the Rogue Valley:
We understand you need some clarification as to what the Occupy Movement is about. Contrary to what the media would have you believe, we are not all hippies, druggies, or anarchists. In fact, very few…say…1% of us are.

When: 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Thursday, January 5, 2012

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.
