French Government Responds to Virtual Sit-In
The virtual sit-in in solidarity with French students, youth and workers opposed to the CPE has effectively taken the street protests through the walls of the French government buildings and deep into the operations of the French government itself. This morning, an email containing this text was mailed to Sysadmins at the b.a.n.g. lab at UCSD, where the borderlands Hacklab is hosted: I look forward to hearing from you soon. The CERTA Team." CERTA is the Centre d'Expertise Gouvernemental de Réponse et de Traitement des Attaques informatiques - roughly, the Center for Governmental Expertise in Responding to Information Attacks, much like CERT, the computer emergency response team here in the US. You can read the exchange that followed at rdom's blog: overload some servers here - French CSIRT Response to VR Sit-In | post.thing.net In addition, the French government responded by removing or renaming some of the files being pulled by the sit-in page from their site. The files removed were from the government CPE page. So briefly, the CPE could be considered to have been virtually revoked. Ironically, the graphic file in question contained the phrase "La Bataille pour L'emploi", which roughly means the Battle for Employment. Over 37,800 people participated in the action. technorati tags: france, cpe, edt, hacklab, virtualsitin, sitin << Page 34 | Page 32 >> |

On April 4, 2005 Jacob Faust was murdered by sdpd officer Stephen Holliday. On April 4, 2006, about 75 of his family, friends and supporters met in the rain at the Golden West Hotel, the site of the shooting, and marched to sdpd headquarters to remember Jake, express their outrage and demand justice.
This video is from the walkouts on Tuesday, March 28, 2006. The walkouts were organized by students to protest the Anti-Immigrant Bill HR 4437. The video is 5 minutes long, in quicktime format and about 13.7 MB.
On April 4, 2005 san diego actor, musician and artist Jacob Faust was murdered by san diego police officer Stephen Holliday. In November, district attorney Bonnie Dumanis gave her seal of approval to the killing by ruling the shooting justified. In March, Faust's family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against san diego. And for the next week, a series of events are going to be held celebrating Jake's life and to raise funds for legal fees, culminating in a march to sdpd headquarters from the site of the murder, in front of the Golden West Hotel in the gaslamp on April 4th (meet at 4:30pm, march at 5:30pm).
UPDATE: A "Student Unity Meeting" has been called for Friday at 5pm in front of City College:
Leslie Feinberg spoke earlier today (3/28/2006) on the SDSU campus at 2PM in Hepner Hall 221, as close to 200 students filled the seats, stairs, and floors with eager faces. Leslie talked about his experience as a lesbian / transgender / genderqueer in the struggle for gay liberation and his experience as an activist who relates to the struggles of people of color because it was the right thing to do at the time and still is. Leslie mentioned the inspiration he has received from the large turnouts in Los Angeles and other cities in opposition to the Senssenbrenner bill HR 4437. Leslie ended the speech by addressing the struggle of Pat Washington, who was fired from the Womens Studies Dept in 2002 and has is suing SDSU for discrimination. After most of the audience had gone, a couple of women from the department began their defensive attack against what they felt was Leslie's attack on them.
Protest at the Mexican Consulate in San Diego in solidarity with the Zapatistas March 20. "Let us say Already Is enough! to the constant harassment that we suffered when having to support so many police corporations that they maintain state of control, militarization, fear, anger, discrimination, impunity, great power and injustices, that affect so much to activists social, like a young and young, students, indigentes, sex traveling, working servants, salesmen, farmers, teachers etc... Digamos ¡Ya Basta! al constante hostigamiento que sufrimos al tener que soportar tantas corporaciones policiales que mantienen un estado de control, militarización, miedo, coraje, discriminación, impunidad, prepotencia e injusticias, que afectan tanto a activistas sociales, como a niños y jóvenes, estudiantes, indigentes, sexo servidoras, vendedores ambulantes, obreros, campesinos, maestros etc..."
I wasnt going to go to the March 18 Peace Rally at Balboa Park marking the third anniversary of the illegal war against and occupation of Iraq. However, when i heard at the last minute that Al-Awda and supporting organizations were holding a rally and march to bring attention to the central role of Palestine and racism in the larger struggle against western imperialism, i grabbed my camera and jumped on my bike and raced down to City College, the site of the rally. A 12 minute video was the result.
"Daddy" Don Cherkis and his partner, boy joe, spoke about their "Daddy/boy" relationship at the March 3 meeting of the San Diego League of Gentlemen, a Gay male Leather group. They were recently chosen as U.S. Daddy and boy at a contest in Arizona, and their talk focused on the dynamics of their partnership and the joy joe gets out of serving Don.
Representing schools from around the city, including: Patrick Henry, Kearny, Hoover, San Diego High, Memorial Academy, Serra High, National City and City College!
Thousands of students walked out of San Diego high schools again today, converging on Chicano Park. They walked from Hoover High, Vista, Kearny Mesa and as far as Claremont Mesa and Point Loma. Add a comment with your high school and your story! 
10:00AM, 3/28 - repost from a city college student says that she saw "all of San Diego High School", what looked like thousands of students, running from school downtown. She said that the situation was very chaotic and that there looked like a strong chance of arrests being made.
If you've been reading LA Indymedia or listening to KPFK, you've heard about the March for Immigrants' Rights that will be taking place tomorrow, starting on Olympic and Broadway. But if you're limited to English, you probably haven't heard the non-stop promotion by virtually every popular local and nationally-syndicated Spanish-language DJ in Los Angeles. Low-ball estimates from media insiders are that 200,000 people will turn up. March organizers are scrambling to accommodate three times that many and busloads of people from across the state, from Reno and Las Vegas, from Phoenix, from Texas, from New Mexico, from Denver, from Tennessee, and from Chicago. As I write this, high school students in East Los Angeles have walked out and reportedly are pummeling the police with fruit against proposed immigration "reform." Corporate media reports estimate the size of today's student walkouts in LA at over 3000 students. Tomorrow promises to be the biggest march in Los Angeles history.
