06/07/11 - poverty | globalization
Bay of Rage writes:   Thanks to everyone for coming out to Anticut 1 on Friday [June 3rd]. The consensus seems to be that this was a very successful evening, a promising opening act to what we hope will be a long, hot summer. There were probably about 100 of us in the streets — good turnout for something organized with only a couple of weeks of notice,  especially after a period of relative quiet. Let's see if we can double this next time [on June 17th].

Hundreds protested in Oakland on June 12th.  Mesherle was released from Los Angeles County Jail just after midnight on June 13th.

Feminists Mourn Loss of the Juana Briones House
Home of Famous Latina Pioneer Juana Briones Is Being Torn Down
06/04/11 - womyn | peninsula | california
After more than a decade of legal battles, a decision by a final court ruled against the group Friends of Juana Briones House. The oldest house in Palo Alto, named for its famous resident who was a latina pioneer, is being dismantled, piece by piece. Juana Briones healed the sick and cared for the poor. An elementary school and park in Palo Alto both bear her name. Her house, parts of which were built in 1844, is being destroyed by the current property owner.
