Local coverage of Occupy Movement
Posted on October 29, 2011
Our camp was raided in the early morning hours Friday, October 28 between 1 am and 2am, resulting in 51 arrests, 14 females and 37 males. The police force used violence against many of the protestors before, during and after the arrests. The media team was specifically targeted and .
The females were sent to Las Colinas jail in Santee while the males were went to the Vista jail. As of midnight bonds had been posted for everyone ranging from $50-$500. Many of us returned to the Civic Center after being released and were greeted with overwhelming support from the community and the Unions of San Diego.

- They need snacks and other food types. You don't need to prepare a complete meal for 50, or anything like that to be appreciated!
- I heard that many homeless persons that are finding themselves in a safe situation and with reliable food are starting to improve health-wise, thanks to Occupy San Diego.
- Occupiers need: Cough drops / throat lozenges, Socks, a few more tarps (I understand more rain is expected on Friday).
- DAYTIME OCCUPIERS WANTED! -- Daytime occupiers are as important as the brave souls sleeping on the ground at Occupy San Diego. Come on down to the Civic Center for an hour or two as often as you can. You matter--you are needed. If you wish, grab a piece of cardboard (and magic marker) and speak with your heart on it.

- Occupy San Diego Protesters To Ask Court to Step In -- http://www.facebook.com/notes/canvass-for-a-cause/occupy-san-diego-lawsuit-and-press-conference/257723394276162 -- Attorneys representing protesters at Occupy San Diego held a press conference at Civic Center Plaza on Tuesday, November 8, 2011 at 11 a.m. announcing the upcoming filing of a request for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction against the City of San Diego / San Diego Police Department for suppressing and violating the First Amendment rights of Occupy San Diego protestors. (I shot some video which should be available tomorrow). Many news crews were there.
- Occupy San Diego Facebook Page has been hacked -- but not by "Anonymous." It appears that the media team has figured out who the culprit is, and now we need to get control back to the page. I won't go into details here, other than to say that at least they know what happened.

Food for Thought
How We Can Improve Communication
- Be Curious and Open to Learning: Listen to and be open to hearing all points of view. Maintain a attitude of exploration and learning.
- Balance Advocacy and Inquiry: Seek to learn and understand as much as you might want to persuade. Conversations are as much about listening as it is about talking.
- Show Respect and Suspend Judgment: Setting judgments aside will enable you to learn from others and contribute to others experiencing being respected and appreciated.
- Seek Alignment rather than Agreement: Alignment is shared intention, whereas agreement is having a shared belief or opinion.
- Be Purposeful and to the Point: Notice if what you are conveying is or is not “on purpose” to the question at hand. Notice if you are making the same point more than once. Do your best to make your point quickly with honesty and depth.
- Own and Guide the Conversation or Process: Take responsibility for the quality of your participation and the quality of the work conversations by noticing what’s happening and actively support getting yourself and others back “on purpose” when needed.
- Be Excellent to Each other: Share what’s important to you. Speak authentically; from your personal and heart felt experience. Be considerate to others who are doing the same.

To allow for a respectful and safe environment for our Occupy family, Occupy San Diego announces the following Good Neighbor Policy (similar to that adopted by Occupy Wall Street):
- Zero tolerance for drugs or alcohol anywhere in the occupied space in Civic Center Plaza;
- Zero tolerance for threats or acts of physical or sexual violence towards anyone;
- Zero tolerance for abuse of personal or public property.
- OSD will limit drumming on the site to between the hours of 11am and 5pm only.

- OSD will display signage and will try to have safety and/or community relations mediators in Civic Center, in order to ensure awareness of and respect for our guidelines and Good Neighbor Policy.
- OSD will at all times have a community relations mediator on-site (to be appointed each day), to monitor and respond to community concerns and complaints.
User's Tip
Since we get new subscribers every day much of the email blast will be the same as the last one. BUT, you can view JUST THE DIFFERENCES if you want to, so you can read it faster.
- Go to the web version of the email blast.
- Scroll to the bottom. Click "More Topic Actions"
- Go to the sections "Compare Revisions"
- Compare the current topic ("3" in this one) to 1 (which is the prior day's)
- Click COMPARE.
Notes:
- This does not show some changes, like images, so you should scan the original email too.
- At the bottom of the original topic, you can view any older version (click the numbers) or comparisons ("<") by clicking on the list. (Doesn't work for our case of comparing one day to the next because there are usually several revisions before the final one, so you have to use the "Compare Revisions" function.

Food for Thought
*How We Can Improve Communication*
* Be Curious and Open to Learning: Listen to and be open to hearing
all points of view. Maintain a attitude of exploration and learning.
* Balance Advocacy and Inquiry: Seek to learn and understand as much
as you might want to persuade. Conversations are as much about
listening as it is about talking.
* Show Respect and Suspend Judgment: Setting judgments aside will
enable you to learn from others and contribute to others
experiencing being respected and appreciated.
* Seek Alignment rather than Agreement: Alignment is shared intention,
whereas agreement is having a shared belief or opinion.
* Be Purposeful and to the Point: Notice if what you are conveying is
or is not "on purpose" to the question at hand. Notice if you are
making the same point more than once. Do your best to make your
point quickly with honesty and depth.
* Own and Guide the Conversation or Process: Take responsibility for
the quality of your participation and the quality of the work
conversations by noticing what's happening and actively support
getting yourself and others back "on purpose" when needed.
* Be Excellent to Each other: Share what's important to you. Speak
authentically; from your personal and heart felt experience. Be
considerate to others who are doing the same.

*GOOD NEIGHBOR POLICY*
To allow for a respectful and safe environment for our Occupy
family, Occupy San Diego announces the following Good Neighbor
Policy (similar to that adopted by Occupy Wall Street):
* Zero tolerance for drugs or alcohol anywhere in the occupied
space in Civic Center Plaza;
* Zero tolerance for threats or acts of physical or sexual
violence towards anyone;
* Zero tolerance for abuse of personal or public property.
* OSD will limit drumming on the site to between the hours of 11am
and 5pm only.
* OSD encourages all participants to respect health and sanitary
regulations, and will direct all participants to respectfully
utilize appropriate off-site sanitary facilities.
* OSD will display signage and will try to have safety and/or
community relations mediators in Civic Center, in order to
ensure awareness of and respect for our guidelines and Good
Neighbor Policy.
* OSD will at all times have a community relations mediator
on-site (to be appointed each day), to monitor and respond to
community concerns and complaints.
User's Tip
Since we get new subscribers every day much of the email blast will
be the same as the last one. BUT, you can view JUST THE DIFFERENCES
if you want to, so you can read it faster.
1. Go to the web version of the email blast.
2. Scroll to the bottom. Click "More Topic Actions"
3. Go to the sections "Compare Revisions"
4. Compare the current topic ("3" in this one) to 1 (which is the
prior day's)
5. Click COMPARE.
Notes:
* This does not show some changes, like images, so you should scan
the original email too.
* At the bottom of the original topic, you can view any older
version (click the numbers) or comparisons ("<") by clicking on
the list. (Doesn't work for our case of comparing one day to the
next because there are usually several revisions before the
final one, so you have to use the "Compare Revisions" function.
