[GPSCC-chat] [350SiliconValley] ACTION ALERT: Protest at Facebook headquarters this Wednesday in Menlo Park at noon to tell Mark Zuckerberg to stop supporting Keystone XL!

[John Thielking]

If I go to the Facebook protest this Wednesday (see below Green Party people for details) I will likely bring my own sign denouncing Facebook's recent decision to disable the account of Magistar Networks.  Magistar Networks' real name is Ava and she is a probably 60 something disabled woman who is working really hard to get the word out about how bad GMOs are among other things and to publicize the recent launch of her seedling business partnership that is being featured at a farmers' market in Kentucky.  It is unfortunate that Facebook decided to likely enforce it's policy of people having to use their real names for screen names just when things were beginning to turn around for Ava and just after she told us of some injuries that she sustained on opening day of the farmers' market stall (she is suffering form fainting spells apparently).  Please take a moment to hold Ava in your thoughts and send some kind images and prayers her way. Also, her
 landlord is ruthlessly exploiting her as a sub minimum wage slave even though she is disabled and her goal is to buy a plot of land with a shack built on it and live there instead of in her current situation. Please pray that she succeeds. Thank you.
 
Sincerely,
 
John Thielking
 
PS I have done my homework on this and at least one person who is not currently one of my friends on Facebook was unable to find the profile of Magistar Networks on FB, so I'm sure that she didn't block me.

If you're on CREDO's mailing list, you may have seen this email about Mark Zuckerberg and other internet company CEOs funding a political organization which is meant to support immigration reform, but is also running ads in support of Keystone XL and drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. See this ThinkProgress article for details.


Our friends at 350.org national are organizing a protest at Facebook's headquarters in Menlo Park this Wednesday and would like local 350 supporters to show up.


The plan is to meet at the Starbucks parking lot at 1401 Willow Rd, Menlo Park, just down the road from the Willow Rd Facebook entrance. Protesters will gather at 11:45 and walk over at noon. It is about 500 ft down the road.


Amy from 350.org will bring a pipe and a sign. She suggests wearing bright colored safety work vests and hard hats or other work clothing, and bring shovels, to pose as a spill clean-up crew.


The Caltrain station is 3.3 miles away, so we may want to organize pickups.


Btw, I won't be able to make it myself, but if some folks are interested in helping organize logistics, media and Facebook (the social network, not the company!) outreach to help make this event more effective, let me know and I will put you in touch with Amy at 350.org.


Thanks!


Pierre
