Two San Diego activists were arrested in Detriot, helping in a banner drop on the eve of Ford's 100th anniversary. Seven people were arrested after environmental and human rights protesters hung a banner saying "Ford: Driving America’s Oil Addiction" from the roof of the 14-story Griswold Building at Griswold and State Streets in downtown Detroit. Tomorrow, Ford will begin celebrations for its 100th anniversary. Each day, 214,000 acres of rainforests are destroyed. One major cause of this destruction is the global demand for oil.

The San Diego Bill of Rights Defense Committee hosted its first meeting Monday, January 2 to launch a campaign to oppose the USA PATRIOT Act and its proposed (and even worse) sequel, the Domestic Security Enhancement Act ("PATRIOT Act II"). Among the speakers at the event were immigration attorney Lilia Velasquez (pictured, center, at a January 10 protest against the repressive INS "special registration" authorized under the PATRIOT Act), former Congressmember Lionel Van Deerlin, Rev. Art Cribbs of the Christian Fellowship Congregational Church, retired California judge Victor Ramirez and American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) officials Shenna Bellows and Dale Kelly Bankhead. The group's purpose is to form a grass-roots organization to lobby the San Diego City Council to join the other 115 cities and three states in the U.S. that have opposed the PATRIOT Act. For more information on the San Diego Bill of Rights Defense Committee, please write them at P.O. Box 87131, San Diego, CA 92138-7131, e-mail them at sdbordc@yahoo.com or visit www.sdbillofrights.org on the Web.
Raymond Francis, author of the book "Never Be Sick Again," will speak in San Diego Wednesday, June 11, 7:30 p.m. at Current Affairs Bookstore, 2536 University Avenue in North Park (between Arizona and Hamilton Streets). His book is a call for individuals to take charge of their own health; he argues that there are essentially only two diseases — cellular deficiency (the body's cells not getting enough of a substance they need) or toxicity (the cells getting too much of a substance they don't need) — and with this knowledge anyone can safeguard their own health and "never get sick again." The story and photo below are from Francis's previous appearance at Current Affairs November 22.
