Solidarity from
Occupy San Diego! We actual have more than one 2+2er on the streets here.
Well my hometown, the only major city without a major sports title, looked like we might fail at even having a our little camp out. But we seem to have recovered from shooting ourselves in the foot planning wise, the plans were changed, and it looks like the sleepover is on!
The new plan is to assemble at Children's Park (Front & Island, Convention Center trolley station). Then at 4pm we are going to have our little parade up to the Civic Center, pick up all the people there, and head back to the Children's Park. The GA will be at 7:00PM, and those who wanna camp out will stay for the night. Then tomorrow, Saturday at 4pm, we get to have another parade, as we move our little camp out to the Civic Center.
Please, I ask all as a personal favor, avoid the Civic Center until after 4PM Saturday. We are not protesting Yom Kippur.
I have seen exactly zero police presence. A liaison committee met with the cops informally, and we have reason to believe that today's parade, and tonight's camp-out, will be facilitated by the police, not attacked. As paraphrased at GA:
the last thing we [SDPD] want to do is arrest anyone, the cities already broke.
And I would like to remind everyone about the buddy system -- use it! Assemble and speak safe, my fellow 99%ers!
