More RCP Weirdness

Well, this is odd. Looking at Nion Bay Area's website, linked above, I see:
Sat. and Sun.
Oct. 22 - 23
"On the Frontlines": A regional and national counter military recruiting conference. A joint effort of the Bay Area Military Out of Our Schools project, and the national Campus Anti-War Network. UC Berkeley Campus. Details TBA.

That is so weird. An RCP front group scheduling a non-police brutality event for October 22nd? It is bad enough that "the world can't wait" until November 2nd. (I wrote a story about yesterday's No Theocracy Day protest on Indybay's government and elections page last night, since we had a post of photos)

I guess this means that the October 22nd Coalition is on its own? Usually some folks who work with NION or help it out for big events are at O22, but I guess that's not going to be the case this year.

They really disgust me, but I like the work that I am doing with the Stolen Lives Project. It'd be great if more people would help out (some folks like Junya do keep lists that I can add to the one I am working on, and more people are starting to post recent deaths to lists).

Oh, did I mention that there is a new anti-taser list, Ban TASERS Now, that Mesha started publicizing last week?
