It was a demonstration to bring that message to Riverside, as others have done and are doing throughout the country. “Some members of the public openly expressed anger at the mostly black and Latino demonstrators. Protestors were yelled at, a Latina speaker was assaulted by a passer-by, and two men actively and violently pushed and shoved a number of people. And ultimately, we, along with others were plowed into by a white male driving a BMW. These actions only underscore how our society's consciousness view people of color differently. “We thank the Riverside Police team for blocking off the street as the protest continued and their increased presence may have prevented further physical attacks from those in the public who disagreed." “The narrative that it might have been accidental, or that the driver was gently trying to get through traffic is not accurate. The vehicle in front of the driver had made a u-turn. A few of us witnessed the female passenger in the car frantically yelling at the driver to stop. “Finally, we ask for equal treatment and all due diligence by police no matter the race of the suspect or victims, or the reason for the public demonstration.” Gloria, Nikke and Bobbi 00:30:00Catalinas ListnoJustice for Trayvon,Eric Garner,Mike Brown,I Can't Breathe,FergusonPRESS RELEASE  Joint Statement from 3 of the Hit and Run Victims at a “Black Lives Matter” Demonstration at Riverside’s Festival of Lights “We participatedhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/bobbichavarria/2014/11/26/tuesdays-with-bobbi-dear-vecino-i-wrote-never-again-8245-days-ago-1Politics Progressivehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/bobbichavarria/2014/11/26/tuesdays-with-bobbi-dear-vecino-i-wrote-never-again-8245-days-ago-1/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/bobbichavarria/2014/11/26/tuesdays-with-bobbi-dear-vecino-i-wrote-never-again-8245-days-ago-1Wed, 26 Nov 2014 06:23:32 GMTTuesdays with Bobbi: Dear Vecino, I wrote "Never Again" 8,245 days agoPolicy solutions and hope. That is what I hope to offer. I share with you the keynote speech from Friday evening's training event, Peggy Flanagan, Exec. Dir of Children's Defense Fund. Yesterday it was announced that the Grand Jury in Ferguson decided to not indict the officer responsible for the death of Michael Brown, an unarmed teenager who was shot six times by that police officer who claimed that he feared for his life. A little less than 8,245 days ago I wrote a poem entitled, "Never Again" because I was in Los Angeles at a Laker game the night the riots started. And, as the days went on, I was getting a little tired of the pundits giving space to Pres. Bush who called the rioters, "thugs and crooks." Rioting is wrong, but let's keep King's words in mind as we witness the reaction to the decision in Ferguson. Martin Luther King --- as quoted by Amy Goodman on Democracy's Now coverage posted on youtube.com today:  "It is not enough for me to stand before you tonight and condemn riots. It would be morally irresponsible for me to do that without, at the same time, condemning the contingent, intolerable conditions that exist in our society. These conditions are the things that cause individuals to feel that they have no other alternative than to engage in violent rebellions to get attention. And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard."

Around the Inland Empire, I have heard numerous folks talk about how they are progressive. Today, I received an email from Tom Swann of Veterans for Peace, about a candidate for Assembly in the Palm Springs area who recently declared that she had always been a "Progressive Democrat." Tom noted, no, in fact, during a previous campaign over 10 years ago, she was the lowest vote-getter in a Republican primary. As more people tire of the same old rhetoric and solutions offered by moderate Democrats and Republicans, they are beginning to realize that the bold solutions of the progressive movement are what has solved some great challenges before and could again. The phonies know this, and are cynical, political, and unprincipled enough to jump onto the bandwagon, happily wearing a wool cap, advocating bold solutions, pronouncing nearly socialist rhetoric and beyond, but actually pushing more of the same with all the usual suspects. Dear Vecino, we will have to be very watchful for what big teeth they have. 00:15:00Catalinas Listnodear vecino,populist,progressive,politics,cynicalAn article in this week's The Nation, Will Phony Populists Hijack the Fight Against Inequality? discusses inequality and how politicians can use this buzzword thttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/bobbichavarria/2014/04/01/dear-vecino-lets-talk-about-cesar-chavezPolitics Progressivehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/bobbichavarria/2014/04/01/dear-vecino-lets-talk-about-cesar-chavez/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/bobbichavarria/2014/04/01/dear-vecino-lets-talk-about-cesar-chavezTue, 01 Apr 2014 03:00:00 GMTDear Vecino, Let's talk about Cesar ChavezOn a roundtrip to San Diego this past Saturday, we drove and drove and drove from Highland to San Diego to Fontana. Along the way, we passed a large agricultural field where I glimpsed 8-10 men, dressed for working the field (large hats, long sleeves, bandannas tied around their neck) walking among the rows of soil and greenery. During a luncheon hosted by the Chicano Latino Caucus, I heard Maria Elena Durazo speak of the man, Cesar Chavez and La Causa. She said to the brothers and sisters in the room that this discussion was not nostalgia in any way, for the call to action is as imperative now as it ever was. I considered the men in the field, I thought of my friends in the Warehouse Workers who have fought and won lawsuits for stolen wages, unsafe conditions and more. Fans in the warehouse. Safe, drinking water available. I reflected upon my husband who has sat in a few anti-union training sessions over the past several years. And my niece, who, in less than a year, has been told that a union only wants her money. Her hard-earned minimum wage, part-time, money. And, I wanted to remember something grand and powerful and imperative and I wanted to move and dance and start a revolution. After all, I was sitting in the only union-hotel in both San Bernardino and Riverside county. We just had a special election where Tea Party/Anti-Union Republicans turned out 2 to 1, aided in part by a split in our candidates and by the apathy of working people. It has been two decades of Central Labor Council Secretary-Treasurer Stalnaker where cohesion and electoral effectiveness have been decimated. Yes, it is time to bring some poetry and some vision.  00:26:00Catalinas ListnoDear Vecino,Cesar Chavez,Labor,Working People,Progressive MovementOn a roundtrip to San Diego this past Saturday, we drove and drove and drove from Highland to San Diego to Fontana.
