PASADENA, October 26, 2007 – Anti-war activists were able to close an army recruitment center this Friday in Pasadena. Protesters marched from Pasadena City College to the nearby center, strung yellow caution tape across the doors and then physically blocked entry to the center. Police were called to the scene but no arrests were made. Frustrated by efforts to reopen recruiters closed the center for the remainder of the day.

Reports from the newswire:

  • Civil Disobedience, Demonstration at Recruiting Center Near Pasadena City College
  • Counter Recruitment Protest - Pasadena


  • The horrifying fires we have all witnessed in Southern California are a direct result of stealing our tax dollars from all social services at home and giving them to the war machine. Please turn your grief into action and join the October 27 peace march in Los Angeles at 12 Noon from Olympic & Broadway and March to downtown federal building. Full Report from the Newswire

    Tomorrow's march is a part of a national day of coordinated anti-war protests. The Los Angeles march was initiated by the ANSWER Coalition, and is coordinated by the ad hoc Oct. 27 Stop the War Coalition. It has been endorsed by over 400 additional organizations and individuals. More info from the Global Women's Strike

    Alternate Views of the Fire Disaster
    SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, October 24, 2007 – While corporate media provides real time images of fires from helicopters and speeches from elected officials eager not to miss a photo opportunity, independent media is showing another side to the fire disaster. The clear links to global warming, oil wars and over development go unreported and instead the fixation with apocalyptic images is broadcast and rebroadcast. Bush is scheduled to visit the area tomorrow and there are calls for protests against his visit.

    Clearly even the mass media with all its wealth and resources is unable to convey the full scope and meaning of the disaster unfolding before us. Independent news and viewpoints are however finding outlets through this site and others. Collected here are some recent postings from our readership:

    NEW: Message to George Bush from a San Diego Evacuee by Ricardo Favela



    LOS ANGELES, October 22, 2007 – As fires burned at the perimeter of the sprawling urban mess that is Southern California about 200 people held a demonstration against a fire that burns every day at the city’s inner core: the war of a police force against the people they are suppose to serve.

    This year’s march was different from past years. The usual march to police head quarters at Park Center was not held, instead demonstrators gathered at Parker Center and marched to MacArthur Park in honor of those victims of police violence this past May when 1,000s of peaceful marchers for immigrants rights were attacked by police. The police kept a distance from demonstrators this year with riot units deployed some blocks away and only a light cover of cycle units shadowing the marchers. The event was militant in spirit but peaceful in practice. There have been no reports of any police violence or arrests.
