    <description><![CDATA[On May Day 2013, the fight for a $15 'Livable Wage' is coming to Oakland.

    <title>Opponents of Fracking in California Win Court Victory</title>
    <dcterms:alternative>U.S. District Court Rules Monterey County Fracking Leases Violate Environmental Law</dcterms:alternative>
    <description><![CDATA[In a precedent-setting victory for fracking opponents, a federal judge ruled that the Obama administration violated the law when it issued oil leases in Monterey County without considering the environmental impacts of hydraulic fracturing.  "This important decision recognizes that fracking poses new, unique risks to California's air, water and wildlife that government agencies can't ignore," said Brendan Cummings, senior counsel at the Center for Biological Diversity, who argued the case for the plaintiffs. "This is a watershed moment - the first court opinion to find a federal lease sale invalid for failing to address the monumental dangers of fracking."]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[Steve Pleich writes: The "revised" needle exchange will be operated by the County of Santa Cruz which can only provide services to county residents. As a practical matter, anyone requesting these services would be required to provide their name, address and some form of identification verifying this information. That's at least three (3) items of personal information which will then be in the hands of a governmental agency. While this information will likely be "confidential", it will not be "anonymous".]]></description>

    <title>Islamophobic Hate Ads Remade on SF Buses</title>
    <dcterms:alternative>Arts Activists Disrupt Pamela Geller's Efforts to Use MUNI Advertising for Hate Speech</dcterms:alternative>
    <description><![CDATA[Interrupting the normalization of anti-Islamic rhetoric and actions, Bay Area Art Queers Unleashing Power (BAAQUP) and Street Cred continue to alter the latest anti-Islamic ads posted by Pamela Geller's "American Freedom Defense Initiative" on San Francisco MUNI buses. In these remakes, Geller acknowledges that her struggle (jihad) is overcoming her virulent Islamophobia and racism.  Geller's original ad was modified to read: "I'm Pamela Geller and I spread Islamophobia. I don't know why, but it's a struggle for me not to."]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[Last year on May Day, a boisterous but mostly peaceful demonstration promoted by Occupy Oakland and other groups, was attacked by an OPD assault force.  In the ensuing confusion, Oakland police targeted several individuals.  Like so many arrested during actions of civil disobedience and protest, the district attorney has stacked charges on top of the initial ones, and failed to notify the accused of his arraignments. On March 19th, the Oakland Police Department sent ten officers to Prince's home to make good on their warrant. Prince was being held at Santa Rita jail on $25,000 bail, but all charges were dropped except for one on March 21 and supporters were able to pay the bond for his release.]]></description>
