Activists planning G-20-related protest events were repeatedly harassed by police during the week preceding the Summit, and residents unconnected with any protest organizing saw similar visits from a police force acting as if it expected a foreign army to invade the city. As collectives who support activists by providing food services at similar scale events entered Pittsburgh immediately prior to the convention, they and anyone who offered space to their mobile kitchens were harassed and threatened by local police.

Sept. 14, 2009 - What is Obama's real plan for Afghanistan? Surely he sees all the signs of quagmire that we do. So why is this happening?

The key to Obama is that he often assumbles what he considers "best practices" into new packages he then tries to promote. The other key is that like any President, he wants to avoid the appearance of losing, even if escalating doesn't assure winning. So here is what he is doing:

Already, military operations in Afghanistan have turned public opinion against the United States and have unintentionally given legitimacy to the Taliban, who are now more able to benefit from their position as a symbol of resistance to US occupation. Since the invasion, the US has bombed a significant number of civilian targets, including an unprecedented number of weddings. In August 2008, the bombing of the village of Azizabad left ninety-one civilians dead, sixty of whom were children.

On Friday, February 6, UR-SDS organized an occupation of Goergen Hall at the University of Rochester for peace and solidarity with the Palestinians. We made a list of demands of the administration (including divestment from weapons manufacturers, educational and humanitarian aid to Gaza, and scholarships for Palestinian students) and after intense and dramatic negotiations we signed a Joint Statement of Understanding/Action Plan resulting in a victory right before midnight on Friday!

The rough wording of the signed Joint Statement of Understanding/Action Plan is as follows:

This is a meeting to see if there is interest in forming a new chapter of Students for a Democratic Society at the Evergreen State College-Tacoma campus.
