oso, 21-01-2005 - 13:42
Over 300 people gathered in Medford yesterday to mark the occassion of George W. Bush's second inauguration. In a direct response to the "mandate" Bush claims to have won in November, progressives of all stripes marched together from Hawthorne Park through downtown Medford to the sounds of one lone bagpipe.
Upon arriving at Vogel Plaza, the crowd fell into silence, joining Women in Black for a 30 minute vigil for peace. Speakers representing movements for peace, social justice, gay rights, immigrant rights, workers rights, veterans, election reform and the environment addressed the losses suffered under the Bush adminstration and spoke of hopes for a united progressive movement to reclaim this country.

J20 Medford, We the People Sing
opeu district four productions, 20-01-2005 - 19:28
Several e-mails were flying around after the event from organizers and this is part of one of them:
...I'd call it critical mass. Medford's not seen anything like
today since I've lived here. Hundreds of people of peace and passion....
...It was awfully cold at Vogel Park for the Californians among us, but that helped us feel solidarity with our D.C. counter-inaugural brothers and
sisters.

Jacksonville: What Really Happened
Shelley Elkovich, 18-10-2004 - 14:22
Media reports on the October 14th demonstration in Jacksonville have been full of inaccuracies and misleading statements by police and Jacksonville officials. I was one of the organizers for the demonstration in Jacksonville and would like to set the record straight.
In planning the event, I spoke three times with the Chief of Police in Jacksonville and once with the Sheriff so they knew exactly what we were planning and we could safely exercise our First Amendment rights. The Chief said he was primarily concerned about hostile conservatives hassling us. The Sheriff 's last words to me were: "If everyone stays on the sidewalk, we won't have any problems."

Beware the anti-choice "democrat"
concerned voter, 25-03-2004 - 00:24
check the platform of "democrat" John C. McColgan.
the anti-choice forces have enough support in the form of republicans.
progressives must demand that the threatened right to choose be defended and upheld. ask this man to explain his position on women's rights before you run to support this "democrat" in the race.

March for Women's Lives
Jennifer Barnett, 24-02-2004 - 14:04
I think I was about 17 when I found out that my mom had had an abortion. She had just recovered from tuberculosis and was still taking massive doses of antibiotics to fight off the chronic bronchitis that had sprung up in its wake. She had been seriously dating somebody for the first time since her divorce. Despite protection, she got pregnant.
