Occupy Movement, Forest Activists Target CA Board of Forestry Wednesday, Rally to Demand End to Forest Clearcutting… Children Call on State Agencies to Protect their Future

SACRAMENTO – Occupy members from Sacramento, Davis and a coalition of forest activist groups – concerned with continuing and widespread clearcutting – will call for an end to “Forestry for the 1%” in California on Wednesday by “occupying” the state Board of Forestry and Fire Protection.

Occupy groups and others will meet WEDNESDAY (April 4) at 11 a.m. beginning at Cesar Chavez Park (901 I St.). Large puppets, children dressed in “Lorax” themed costumes will participate. Activists will provide satellite images of range-wide clearcutting in the Sierra Nevada.

From there, they are expected to march to the CA Forestry Board’s meeting at 1416 9th St.

The activists will demand state agencies and boards, including the Board of Forestry, Department of Forest and Fire Protection, Department of Fish and Game, and California Air Resources Board change their interpretation and implementation of forestry-related rules in order to end the environmentally devastating practice of clearcutting, which threatens water supply, wildlife habitat, and the climate.

The Objective: To bring local awareness to the corporation Monsanto’s control and involvement with the toxins in our food and water supplies and the ties they have in the government. We must start acting locally and thinking globally to bring down this tyrant of the food industry. We are in worldwide solidarity with the Millions Against Monsanto (www.MillionsAgainstMonsanto.org) and several other groups, organizations, foundations, and individuals who feel that something must be done to stop the evil practices of the Monsanto Corporation.

“Corporations are Not People and Money Is not free speech”

The Goal: To unite local communities, as consumers, voters and organizers to continue the push to remove Monsanto and other Corrupt Corporations from our government. Along with other campaigns all over the globe to create a world governed for, of, and by the people, not the corporations. One tactic is to strategize and take action utilizing the power of the Boycott to send a strong message we will not do business with Corrupt Corporations. We are urging for monthly and biweekly protests; Workshops, teach-ins, film showings; Canvassing, flyering, training organizers, and recruiting more people to the peaceful fight.

Stand With Hard Working Immigrants!

March 8 Rally for Immigrant Rights

 

Hate Holds Us ALL Back from Prospering

Generations ago, courageous men and women undid the Southern States’ hateful Jim Crow laws. And then finally mass poverty gave way to the prospering Southern ‘Sun Belt’ states of today.

Today, states like Arizona, Georgia, and now in Alabama are trying to force us back to those days. But we, California immigrant janitors, have come too far to allow anyone to turn any of us back.

Stand With Hard Working Immigrants!

MARCH & RALLY to REPEAL ALABAMA’S HB 56

OCCUPY THE CRIME SCENE

Monday, MARCH 12, 2024 – 9:30 a.m.

SACRAMENTO COUNTY RECORDER’S OFFICE
600 8th Street (corner of F Street)
Sacramento, CA 95814

“When I looked at my data, I began to wonder if my land records office had become a warehouse of stolen property.”
– Jeff Thigpen, register of deeds for North Carolina’s Guilford County


A new audit of 382 recent San Francisco foreclosures found that 84 percent of them involved at least one clear violation of California’s foreclosure laws. 
A county recorder’s office is responsible for keeping the official public records of property ownership, and state law dictates how the mortgage industry must file those records. 
“When it became clear that property records were severely undermined, a red flag was raised,” says San Francisco Assessor-Recorder Phil Ting. “Those records are supposed to be filed with this office and many were simply missing or had serious inconsistencies. How can we expect homeowners to have a fighting chance of saving their homes when they can’t even find who currently owns their debt?” Continue Reading →
