1:29 pm	Drop the Charges Against Bay Area Anarchist, Dee Allen HELP DEE ALLEN BEAT THE BOGUS CHARGES! Here's what you can do to help poet, anarchist and civic activist Dee Allen fight the bogus charges against him. WHAT'S GOING ON! Dee Allen is facing bogus charges including battery of a police officer (for allegedly spitting at an officer) as a consequence of his participation in a counter-protest against the minute"men" on July 30. On August 7th, 2008, Dee appeared in court. After a lengthy pretrial conference between the judge and attorneys, Dee entered his plea of not guilty. It's outrageous and maddening that Dee should even be put in such a position. This matter need not -- and should not -- go to trial. The misdemeanors in this case are punishable by $2000 and/or 6 mos. in jail. Not to mention the fact that they create a police record. CALL IN YOUR SUPPORT! Here's what to do to support Dee Allen during this time of litigation: Dee's next court date will be on November 7th, at 9:00 AM, at 850 Bryant, Department 13. His case number is 2378915, and the person handling his case is Megan T. Burns, Deputy Public Defender, (415) 575-8861, megan.burns@sfgov.org. Call in to voice your support for Dee Allen (full name: Donnell Lamont Allen), and offer to help Dee's case by serving as a character witness for him. Also, contact Greg Barge, director of the misdemeanor division, (415) 553-1266, and state that the charges should be dropped against him. The number to the D.A.'s office for general inquiries is (415) 553-1751. Voice your outrage over the fact that two cops can allege whatever they want in a criminal complaint and can impose such troubles on a upright citizen who has been unjustly singled out as a target for ongoing harassment. Jeff Adachi is the San Francisco Public Defender; ask him to intervene directly on Dee's behalf. His email is jeff.adachi@sfgov.org, or call (415) 553-1671 for general inquiries at the SF Public Defender's office. MORE SUPPORT THROUGH EMAIL! Here's contact info for sympathetic police commissioners submitted by an anti-police brutality organizer. Like with the Public Defender's and District Attorney's offices, demand that the two Minuteman Project counter protest-related [false] misdemeanor charges be dropped. Also, if possible, be a character witness for Dee Allen. Contacts to Jeff and police commissioners on our side: jeff.adachi@sfgov.org, davidfcampos@yahoo.com, theresasparks@aol.com, pdejesus@kazanlaw.com. WRITE A LETTER TO THE DA OFFICE! Write a letter addressed to the D.A.'s office attesting to Dee's character. State how you know Dee, and why you love/ value/ respect him. Again, demand that the charges against him be dropped. Hilary Ronen of La Raza Centro Legal is currently collecting the letters: Hillary Ronen La Raza Centro Legal 474 Valencia Street, Suite 295 San Francisco, CA 94103 Thank you for your support and helping to further our freedom of speech and dissent in our own community!

10:05 am	Another Question Okay, thanks for the feedback. Here's another question. Does anyone on here not have a job where they get health benefits and somehow "make ends meet" health wise? What do you do if you can't afford medical treatment or doctors visits? (4 Comments |Comment on this)

10:28 pm	Free Tookie Event in Modesto CA www.modanarcho.tk Stanlie "Tookie" Williams, was convicted in the early 80's in four murders. Tookie was the founder of a gang of Crips, and was convicted of the killings during four robberies. Tookie regrets his gang involvement, but maintains his innocence. According to the www.savetookie.org website, "He maintains innocence of the crimes he was accused of, and faced racist discrimination throughout his trial. One issue highlighted the fact that the prosecutor in Tookie's original case removed three African-American jurors from the jury. During Stan's trial, this prosecutor made racially-coded remarks during his closing argument, comparing Stan during the trial to a Bengal tiger in the zoo and stating that a black community - South Central Los Angeles - was equivalent to the natural "habitat" of a Bengal Tiger." (Learn more at the Tookie fact sheet here: http://www.savetookie.org/documents/tookie_fact_sheet_10.18.05.pdf). Tookie has not spent this time in jail without doing anything. He has been nominated 5 times for the Nobel Peace Prize for his work to help young people get and stay our of gangs, and has written numerous books on the subject. Please attend the Teach In and Film Showing event in Modesto on Saturday, (10am-3pm, King Kennedy Center, on 601 North MLK road, Modesto). , also, show this flyer to people online, and also call, (916-445-2841), and email the governer, (governor@governor.ca.gov). Sample Letter: Dear Governor Schwarzenegger: Please do not allow the execution of Stanley Tookie Williams. There are facts about his case that show that racial injustices have taken place. He is one ex-gang member that can reach the gang kids - or potential future gang kids - and help them turn their lives around. Don't lose him! The teens of today desperately need his kind of approach and knowledge in the reality of street gang life so they can make life-saving, better choices. Stanley Tookie Williams represents hope to these kids. Don't kill their hope. I know you care about youth, Governor. Please support our youth by granting clemency to Mr. Williams. {Your name and address} (Comment on this)

Last weekend we started off with going out to support the Foster Farms strikers in Livingston. Then we tabled in the downtown area, hit the dumpsters, gathered clothes. Did really free market. Then we practiced, then we tabled again, and made about 10$ in donations to the collective. Then we did food not bombs on sunday, squatted over the weekend. Went and saw thought riot on Sunday. This weekend, we tabled at the benifit show for Rob Los Ricos, met with people from CAPS, (California Anarchist Prisoner Support), Vox Populi, (anarcho-punk collective), and some other distros. Then Saturday we did a Really Free Market, which went really really well. Alot of people took stuff, our flyers, and some people brought stuff to share. We practiced, (my band, reappropriation), and then we went down town. There was some yuppie party going on, and we danced inside their party with the yuppies, stole some cups for food not bombs, and then left. It was great. The others are at the squat, and I'm here cause I needed to get the stuff for food not bombs tomorrow. The end. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

6:35 pm	Just wanted to thank those that asked if I was okay, I wasn't hurt much at all. After the inital shock of the taser, I was fine, I had a mark after that, but it's okay. Dan's arm is better now, a little sore. The worst that I saw, was they grabbed one kid and threw him to the ground, and put the taser right on his back and did it again and again, I could see in his face that it was pretty bad, his was also against the street. But...on a happy note one pig did fall down I heard and got kicked in the face for a good time! (2 Comments |Comment on this)
1:01 am	EZLN - Not Minutemen! About 8 of us DAAA folks went to pay our respects to the minutemen subgroup, friends of the border patrol, or something, asking for state money to futher militarize the border, and increase the thousands of deaths of people who make this economy possible. The pigs were insane. I got taser/shocked for the first time. Some werid crackly hand held thing went down my back. I still have some marks. They hit Dan in the arm, a medic fixed him up in a sling, and it's better now, at first he couldn't move it or his hand. I almost got my hand bitten off by a horse as well, (with a pig on it). More info to come, tomorrow. (5 Comments |Comment on this)

7:49 pm	Report from Livingston Strike Today members of the D.A.A.A. Collective stood with strikers at the gates of Foster Farms in Livingston CA, (about 20 minutes south of Modesto). Armed with a large pot of posta, and some various class struggle handouts, we feed teams of strikers while the party around us went on. And, it was a party. Far from being a stale, unhappy environment, people sang labor songs, danced, played music, and ate. Our large pot of past was small however to the huge community kitchen that was set up right behind us. Strikers on the lines were largely Indian and Latino, and foods from both cultures were represented, as people workered hand in hand to make sure people were fed. A great part of the day came when a whole group of strikers both latino and Indian took to marching around the sidewalks blasting Indian pop music while people danced. Teams of people bringing in drinks, plates, and food came throughout the time we were there, and a union rep. told us that these were all people from the community. Spirits were high, and several truckers entering the plant were supportive of the strike at least in spirit, and gave us the thumbs up and numerous supportive honks. Our literature went over well, despite us having english only flyers. In one situation, a woman asked the person next to her to tell her what one of our flyers said, to which she told her it stated, (in spanish), "We don't need the boss - the boss needs us". She nodded along and said, "Very true!" A union person also took down our address, in order to send the collective a thank you card. Strikers also have organized themselves into shifts, and even stay out on the lines in the night, we were told by various strikers. According to the Modesto Bee, the strike will end on Saturday morning, however, workers are prepared to continue fighting if talks between management and the union do not go back on track.
