Move Your $MONEY$ Southern Oregon
SWITCH TO A LOCAL BANK OR CREDIT UNION!, 09-07-2010 - 00:48
Ashland, Oregon * Independence Day, 2010
Southern Oregon's MOVE YOUR MONEY campaign debuted on the main drag during Ashland's Fourth of July parade. The parade entry from Southern Oregon Jobs with Justice (SOJwJ) included the Jefferson State Rollers. The helpful swarm of female roller derby skaters blasted Ashland with thousands of tri-fold Move Your Money brochures which rank regional banks and credit unions with the big Wall Street banks. Any guess which work best for the local economy?
People want to support local economic development and are tired of Wall Street excesses that have crippled our country. Move Your Money is a campaign to move money away from the big greedy Wall Street Banks and put the bucks where they will do the most good right here at home.
Check out July 4 parade photos and look at the PDF brochure for a detailed description of Move Your MONEY Southern Oregon.

TAX WALL STREET DAY OF ACTION - Apr. 15, 2010
SOUTHERN OREGON JOBS WITH JUSTICE, 14-04-2010 - 21:09
For 30 years, corporate CEOs and Wall Street speculators have put the squeeze on workers with globalization, privatization and union-busting.
They used their rising profits to buy Congress, convincing them to hand out tax breaks to the rich and gut banking regulations and consumer protections. Then they invented unscrupulous mortgage and investing practices, turning our financial system into a casino. When their speculation didn't pay off, they got Congress to bail them out to the tune of $15,000 for every household in America.
A tax on the speculators of the Wall Street casino could put 3 million people to work fixing our infrastructure, teaching our children, making our factories sustainable and improving our public services.

I Will Continue To Fight For Single-Payer
Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio), 21-01-2010 - 20:03
I Will Continue To Fight For Single-Payer
This message from Congressman Dennis Kucinich is a godsend for Southern Oregonians who have been fighting for Single Payer health care reform! It has been nerve racking to watch activists who have been tricked into supporting insurance companies and the greedy healthcare (non)system. What a HUGE waste of time, money, and energy! HCAN in particular has sold out the working class with a campaign based on lies and deception. Now we can only hope for one thing to happen in Washington DC. We need nothing short of a quick death to the current corporate sponsored healthcare reform, RIP.
"We stand with Dennis Kucinich. We will keep on working and do whatever it takes to bring about the change that sends insurance companies packing. Let them insure cars and houses but keep them the hell away from our bodies and our health!"--Wes Brain, Rogue Valley Single Payer activist.

U.S. Chamber of Commerce Elected 2009's National Scrooge of the Year
J O B S * W I T H * J U S T I C E, 21-12-2009 - 21:54
DECEMBER 21, 2009--Southern Oregon Jobs with Justice (SOJwJ) announces: U.S. Chamber of Commerce Elected 2009's National Scrooge of the Year.
The Chamber's narrow, radical agenda advocating for anti-worker, profit-focused solutions to the broken health care, labor, and environmental systems garnered them the most votes for the national Jobs with Justice "Scrooge of the Year" award.
Southern Oregon has been alarmed at local Chambers of Commerces with First Amendment violations waged by the City of Ashland's Chamber after its sponsorship of the 2007 Fourth of July Parade. In 2008 SOJwJ and ACLU of Southern Oregon gave the Ashland Chamber of Commerce a Free Speech lesson http://www.rogueimc.org/en/2008/07/13203.shtml
This year's Scrooge contest pitted the Chamber of Commerce against Bank of America, nominated for their role in the sub-prime lending crisis and failure to extend credit to small businesses. SOJwJ previously shouted out a patriotic warning about BoA on Dec. 12, 2008 with the People's Bail-Out Rally in Medford, Oregon http://www.rogueimc.org/en/2008/12/14290.shtml

The Rogue IMC Editorial Board was recently contacted by Joe and given an update for the "...memorial site for my good friend Joanie McGowan..." He went on to tell about a bad link, and that "the real memorial site is alive and well at http://joaniemcgowan.com ... May her spirit live on in peace"
Joanie McGowan's Birthday is Monday June 29, 2009 and so Joe's note couldn't have come at a better time to remember Joanie and also to remember the others who we have lost here in our Southern Oregon community. Champions and Angels, we are talking about Champions and Angels.

Independent Media Week April 19 - 25, 2009
$ $ INDEPENDENT MEDIA IS NON-COMMERCIAL $ $, 17-04-2009 - 21:35
Ashland, Oregon’s 5th annual Independent Media Week will showcase a coalition of independent media producers, local activists and community groups organized around the theme “A well-informed citizenry is a cornerstone of democracy.”
In April 2005, the City of Ashland officially proclaimed its first Independent Media Week during the time when local activists were encouraging Jefferson Public Radio to broadcast Amy Goodman's “Democracy Now!” Activists at the time were also working to launch KSKQ, our local low-power FM community radio station. The keynote speaker at the headline event in 2005 was Amy Goodman.
Every year since the City of Ashland has proclaimed a week in April to highlight independent media. This year at the April 7th council meeting the City of Ashland proclaimed April 19-25, 2009 “Independent Media Week.” This year's keynote speaker at the Friday, April 24 main event is Peter Phillips from "Project Censored" http://www.projectcensored.org
BTW, to update that 2005 campaign: Jefferson Public Radio refused to broadcast Democracy Now!, but it is heard daily on community radio KSKQ!
