An intervention during the depoliticized, sanitized commemoration of
the 45th Anniversary of Mario Savio’s famous speech. "We will not
permit the museumification of Berkeley’s radical past, especially now,
as we enter into a new cycle of struggle. The Free Speech Movement is
not a way to sell coffee, nor is it a rhetorical sop the administration
can use to pacify the existing movement."

On November 20th, 2009 students occupied Wheeler Hall at the University of California, Berkeley campus. They locked themselves into the second floor of the building and called for an end to the continued fee increases, the re-hiring of laid-off workers, and other demands stemming from the University's ongoing assault on the very nature of a public education.

Before long hundreds and then thousands of supporters had gathered outside the building to support the occupiers, forming picket lines and challenging the police at every opportunity. All exits to Wheeler Hall were blockaded by supporters to prevent the occupiers from being arrested, while inside the police hammered the barricaded doors and threatened the students with arrests, beatings, and felonies.

However, after twelve hours of occupation it had become clear that the University had to back down. If the UC police had attempted to drag the student activists out of the building a riot surely would have ensued, and the police were forced to allow the occupiers to walk out into the cheering crowd after only being cited with misdemeanors.

While their specific demands were not met,
students are hailing this as a major victory, the first round in a new movement for free education and in opposition to the government's policies of forced austerity and privatization.

Press conference regarding the violation of the rights of
Journalists and activists during and before the G20 summit in
Pittsburgh.

Download Part 1,  Download Part 2

This being the only permitted action in dissent of the G20 Summit in Pittsburgh; it is, of course, full of great speeches and fun signs.

I realized after the fact that the organizers of the March had agreed to lead the 10 thousand plus participants by the nose away from the convention center after the protest by claiming to have another locations for speeches however the only speaker of note at the 2nd location was Cindy Sheehan.  I'm truly sorry Cindy but I did not film your wonderful speech because my mouth had food in it for the first time that day and I had not slept the night before.  Cindy's speech was , of course, brilliant; but not worth leaving the downtown area to hear.  

This protest should have just sat down in the street where we were until ..say.. Tuesday.  Haven't we learned anything from the Ukraine?

Morgan Massey Dr. Julian, WV 6AM ish 9-9-09
I was filming a Chain & Tube Lock Down Blockade of the road which leads to Massey Energy Regional Headquarters as the first workers of the day arrived.  I was wearing my Press Pass prominently around my neck.  The road was an intersection off of a 4 lane road with a 65 mph speed limit and the blockade was about 30-40 yards from the intersection.  The road appeared to continue for approximately a couple hundred yards.   There is nothing at this intersection that marks it any differently than any other road intersecting this 4 lane roadway.   This part of West Virginia often has severe fog problems, but not this morning.  I interviewed the participants and waited for the cops to show up.  The cops arrived quickly.  I positioned myself about 30-40 feet from the lockdown and waited for the police interaction with the protesters.  Deputy Eric Eversole appeared to be first on the scene.  He briefly surveyed the situation at the lock down and then abruptly turned walking quickly toward me and said:

"Turn your camera off you're under arrest for trespassing."

I responded something to the effect that I was a Journalist and I was willing to leave and he responded that I could not, that I was under arrest.  I'm not sure if I turned off the camera or not, I was experiencing a level of shock at the time.
