New York <BR>State has been cutting income taxes on high incomes, giving huge tax <BR>cuts to the very rich, and making up the deficit by paying less and less <BR>for the services that local governments provide. Local government can <BR>only collect property and sales taxes, which hurt ordinary working <BR>people far worse than do graduated income taxes.

The crowd stretched continuously from the foot of Market <BR>St. and filled the Civic Center to capacity. <BR> <BR>On an unusually warm, very clear sunny day, in San Francisco, January <BR>18, 2003, people of all ages and colors slowly moved up Market Street, <BR>starting at 10:30 a.m. on a grand peace march that was estimated at <BR>350,000. <BR> <BR>I would like to emphasize that ALL age groups were in attendance and <BR>people of ALL colors were also there in great numbers. We have NO <BR>generation gap or ethnic gap in the peace movement. <BR> <BR>The labor contingent included the longshore workers, the ILWU; a <BR>teachers' union delegation from Los Angeles, a flight attendant's <BR>delegation, the hospital workers' SEIU 250, the gay/lesbian labor <BR>organization Pride at Work, the Operating Engineer's union and members <BR>of various other labor unions and their supporters. <BR> <BR><A HREF="http://www.tcgreens.org/gl/articles/20030127050615970.html">http://www.tcgreens.org/gl/articles/20030127050615970.html</A> <BR> <BR>--------- <BR> <BR>Tompkins Greens, Working Families Support Public Access Television <BR> <BR>The Tompkins County Green Party and leaders in the Local Working <BR>Families Party endorsed a joint statement yesterday supporting public <BR>access television, pledging to oppose any city council members who vote <BR>for a franchise agreement that curtails public access. <BR> <BR>Statement on Public Access (1/23/03) The vote that Common Council <BR>members will cast on the cable franchise with Time Warner Cable at its <BR>meeting on Wednesday, January 29, 2003, will determine the availability <BR>of public access for the next ten years. This critical vote will show <BR>the character of elected officials and the degree that they are devoted <BR>to the public interest. <BR> <BR>The proposed franchise agreement will reduce the number of access <BR>channels (including the government and educational channels) from five <BR>to three. The present continuous use of Channel 76 for foreign language <BR>news programs (SCOLA) will be eliminated, as well as Channel 78, a <BR>second public access channel, which now regularly carries the <BR>alternative news program Democracy Now with Amy Goodman. <BR> <BR><A HREF="http://www.tcgreens.org/gl/articles/20030124061615381.html">http://www.tcgreens.org/gl/articles/20030124061615381.html</A> <BR> <BR>--------- <BR> <BR>Greens urge Election Reform in Delaware <BR> <BR>Wilmington, DE -- In response to the 2002 elections which saw a pivotal <BR>3-way race for the office of Attorney General, the Green Party of <BR>Delaware has initiated discussion with Delaware's ballot qualified <BR>parties to establish Instant Runoff Voting (IRV).

Jeffrey Harold, Metropolitan <BR>Police Dept, During Demonstration in front of the White House, 1/19/03 <BR> <BR>During the Jan. 19 MLK day actions for peace, Clara Sinclair, 80, from <BR>Sandy Springs Retirement Home, was pushed by police and knocked <BR>unconscious while she participated in a peaceful sit-down protest <BR>against a war in Iraq, in front of the White House. She was taken to the <BR>hospital and her condition has not yet been confirmed. The non-violent <BR>civil disobedience was sponsored by Iraq Pledge of Resistance and United <BR>For Peace. The police officer responsible for knocking Sinclair down has <BR>not yet been identified, as he had removed his Badge Number. The <BR>incident occurred at the intersection of 16th and H Streets, bordering <BR>Lafayette Park, which was closed to the public by police. <BR> <BR><A HREF="http://www.tcgreens.org/gl/articles/20030123063015333.html">http://www.tcgreens.org/gl/articles/20030123063015333.html</A> <BR> <BR>--------- <BR> <BR>Reclaiming Martin Luther King <BR> <BR>In a marathon day of peace and justice work, consisting of workshops and <BR>5 hours of inspiring and controversial speeches, Plymouth Congregational <BR>Church, Black Voices for Peace, and WPFW radio station sponsored a to <BR>Martin Luther King program for over a thousand people. <BR> <BR>The program was broadcast live on WPFW and immediately became a radical <BR>political edge from which African-American and progressive groups can <BR>take lessons. Many speakers pushed to the outer limits, the meaning of <BR>MLK's work and words, and reminded people that King was a Drum Major for <BR>justice as opposed to the quotable milquetoast on McDonald's cups. <BR> <BR>Supporters of the political right are turning King's words into their <BR>opposite meaning. Rev. Hagler denounced the Lt. Governor of Maryland for <BR>trying to pervert King's words by saying that King would have hated <BR>Affirmative Action. Further, Rev. Hagler said Bush distanced himself <BR>publicly from Trent Lott's recent racist comments, yet on the actual <BR>birthday of Dr. King, (Jan. 15), Bush "blinked" to Lott's followers, <BR>telling them 'Everything is all right.' <BR> <BR><A HREF="http://www.tcgreens.org/gl/articles/20030122121145259.html">http://www.tcgreens.org/gl/articles/20030122121145259.html</A> <BR> <BR>--------- <BR> <BR>DC: The Joy of Freezing for Peace <BR> <BR>David McReynolds, staff emeritus of War Resisters League, Socialist <BR>Party candidate for President, 2000. <BR> <BR>I don't know how many people were at the rally in Washington on <BR>Saturday. The organizers said a half million - that seems too large. But <BR>certainly over 100,000. Maybe the best thing to be said is there were <BR>"enough" - more than enough. <BR> <BR>As a veteran of demonstrations, including the March on Washington in <BR>August 1963 (where I heard King's historic speech), this demonstration <BR>was one of the largest I've been to. And not in spring or autumn, when <BR>the weather is pleasant and the marching is easy, but in the dead center <BR>of January. I had thought I might skip this one, telling myself that age <BR>must surely have some advantages and if, at 73, I could go to movies for <BR>a cut rate, maybe I could skip the long ride to Washington. But in the <BR>end I went and am delighted I did. <BR> <BR>http://www.tcgreens.org/gl/articles/20030122113711790.html

The<br /> <br />incident occurred at the intersection of 16th and H Streets, bordering<br /> <br />Lafayette Park, which was closed to the public by police.<br /> <br /><br /> <br /><a href="http://www.tcgreens.org/gl/articles/20030123063015333.html">http://www.tcgreens.org/gl/articles/20030123063015333.html</a><br /> <br /><br /> <br />---------<br /> <br /><br /> <br />Reclaiming Martin Luther King<br /> <br /><br /> <br />In a marathon day of peace and justice work, consisting of workshops and<br /> <br />5 hours of inspiring and controversial speeches, Plymouth Congregational<br /> <br />Church, Black Voices for Peace, and WPFW radio station sponsored a to<br /> <br />Martin Luther King program for over a thousand people.<br /> <br /><br /> <br />The program was broadcast live on WPFW and immediately became a radical<br /> <br />political edge from which African-American and progressive groups can<br /> <br />take lessons. Many speakers pushed to the outer limits, the meaning of<br /> <br />MLK's work and words, and reminded people that King was a Drum Major for<br /> <br />justice as opposed to the quotable milquetoast on McDonald's cups.<br /> <br /><br /> <br />Supporters of the political right are turning King's words into their<br /> <br />opposite meaning. Rev. Hagler denounced the Lt. Governor of Maryland for<br /> <br />trying to pervert King's words by saying that King would have hated<br /> <br />Affirmative Action. Further, Rev. Hagler said Bush distanced himself<br /> <br />publicly from Trent Lott's recent racist comments, yet on the actual<br /> <br />birthday of Dr. King, (Jan. 15), Bush "blinked" to Lott's followers,<br /> <br />telling them 'Everything is all right.'<br /> <br /><br /> <br /><a href="http://www.tcgreens.org/gl/articles/20030122121145259.html">http://www.tcgreens.org/gl/articles/20030122121145259.html</a><br /> <br /><br /> <br />---------<br /> <br /><br /> <br />DC: The Joy of Freezing for Peace<br /> <br /><br /> <br />David McReynolds, staff emeritus of War Resisters League, Socialist<br /> <br />Party candidate for President, 2000.<br /> <br /><br /> <br />I don't know how many people were at the rally in Washington on<br /> <br />Saturday. The organizers said a half million - that seems too large. But<br /> <br />certainly over 100,000. Maybe the best thing to be said is there were<br /> <br />"enough" - more than enough.<br /> <br /><br /> <br />As a veteran of demonstrations, including the March on Washington in<br /> <br />August 1963 (where I heard King's historic speech), this demonstration<br /> <br />was one of the largest I've been to. And not in spring or autumn, when<br /> <br />the weather is pleasant and the marching is easy, but in the dead center<br /> <br />of January. I had thought I might skip this one, telling myself that age<br /> <br />must surely have some advantages and if, at 73, I could go to movies for<br /> <br />a cut rate, maybe I could skip the long ride to Washington. But in the<br /> <br />end I went and am delighted I did.<br /> <br /><br /> <br /><a href="http://www.tcgreens.org/gl/articles/20030122113711790.html">http://www.tcgreens.org/gl/articles/20030122113711790.html</a></p>
