LOS ANGELES - January 21, 2006, The fighting may be far off overseas, but Southern Californian families are among those across the nation that are losing loved ones every day.
  • Latest polls indicate that over 65% of Americans want an end to the war and the troops home now. Former supporters of the war have admitted that the justification for the war was based on fabricated intelligence. Top US military experts have publicly confessed the war is un-winnable and without a plan. Yet the Bush regime is intent on continuing the war and it now seems even prepared to escalate the war into a regional conflict with Iran.
  • Here on the home front after a full three years of some of the largest protests on record, the anti-war movement seems stalled. Perhaps the public is numbed by recent reports of government spying at local demonstrations last year. Maybe they are demoralized, by the ineffective tactics and political infighting of the anti-war movement to date. An anti-war movement, that like the war itself seems to have no clear plan on how to end the war.
  • What ever the reasons, none of this is good news for the local poor and working class families that are bearing the human cost of the war here on the home front.

  • Peace Walk: This Sunday, Jan 22, Lincoln & Wilshire in Santa Monica, 2pm

    Last year on October 8th, the renowned Buddhist teacher, Thich Nhat Hanh, led over 3000 people in a mindful Peace Walk around MacArthur Park, Los Angeles. It was a beautiful demonstration of embodied peace.

    Thay, or teacher, as his students refer to him, called upon us to "walk in such a way that each step we make becomes a realization of peace; each step becomes a prayer for peace & harmony walk together in silence with no banners and no pickets not a petition addressed to anyone, nor a demonstration against anyone walk to unite our hearts, to nurture our togetherness and to dissipate fear and separation learn together that wrong perceptions of self and others are at the foundation of separation, fear, hate and violence, and that togetherness and collaboration is possible." . . .

    COSTA MESA - January 18, 2006, Was Coyotl Tezcatlipoca denied his free speech right to address the Costa Mesa City Council? Was he unlawfully removed from the council chambers and arrested? Or was his conduct disorderly and disruptive to the council proceedings? The controversy is fueled by a video of the incident posted to this site and elsewhere on the internet. The video has caught national attention and sparked debate on free speech rights. Free speech advocates have filed formal complaints against the city.

    LOS ANGELES - On Sunday, January 29th, Jan Lundberg and Tezozomoc will speak at an event called "Petrocollapse and Food Security" at the South Central Community Farm. It may sound like an unlikely combination, Jan Lundberg, an oil analyst and presenter at peak oil conferences, and Tezozomoc, an organizer with South Central Farmers Feeding Families, but they actually have much in common.

    LOS ANGELES - January 16, 2006, Anti-war groups including, Veterans For Peace, the ANSWER Collation, (IVAW) Iraq Veterans Against the War and other groups marched in the Martin Luther King Day Parade on Monday. In past years a contingent of the JROTC in the parade sparked controversy that the message of King was a message of peace not war. This year anti-war groups received a positive response from those that lined the parade route.

    LOS ANGELES – January 16, 2006, Human rights advocates gathered for a rally and march to a local church for a vigil on the eve of the state’s scheduled execution of Clarence Ray Allen. The event was subdued and solemn. A large 20 foot banner reading END EXECUTIONS! was placed on the steps of the church altar. An electric chair was also set up in front of the altar. A one act play, “A Prison of the Mind” by Marion Scherer was presented. The event was one of many such gatherings around the state held in opposition to state executions. The execution of Allen will be the second in a month after last month’s execution of Tookie Williams. And in February there is another execution scheduled for death row inmate, Michael Morales.


    Indigenous people, Mexicanos, Chicanos and others march through downtown Los Angeles to demand the U.S. end targeting people of indigenous and Mexican descent.

    The pounding drum, the stomping feet with rhythmic rattles, and the resounding echo of "Pueblo, ¡Si! Guerra, ¡No! thundered up both sides of Broadway in Los Angeles this morning. One hundred and twenty-five people marched in the drizzle and unseasonable chill from Olympic to the Federal Building on Temple to declare that the U.S. war on migrants must end.

    As shoppers and workers poured to their doorways to support the marchers, twenty members of Danza Cuauhtémoc, escorted by the Aztlan Nation Harmony Keepers, spun, stepped, twirled, and dipped at the head of the procession. The youngest danzantes, ninas and ninos of five and six years old, led the way. A boy of about ten pulled the drum, while a teenager pounded out the complex rhythms.

    Following the danzantes were members of Comité pro democracia en México, AnswerLA, Jornaleros Unidos de Valle San Gabriel, Frente Unido de los Pueblos Americanos (FUPA), Colectivo Tonantzin, the Orange County Red de vigilancia contra cazamigrantes, brought together by the Anti-Minuteman Watch Network, with an outpouring of anarchists. ...
