WHITE SUPREMACIST ANN COULTER COMES TO CAL Campaigning for Ethnic Cleansing inService of a Fascist Regime In Power
Coulter lauds the genocides that laid the foundations for America’s great power and wealthtoday. From her book, Adios, America:
“Without the white settlers, what is known as ‘America’ would still be an unnamed continent fullof migratory tribes chasing the rear end of a buffalo every time their stomachs growled.”
And she spews hatred for those who are the TARGETS of the Trump/Pence regime today, as itseparates families, builds concentration camps and as children die at the border:

9. Thursday, 7:00pm – 9:00pm, IMPEACHMENT Discussion
Revolution Books – Berkeley
2444 Durant Ave.
Berkeley
IMPEACHMENT Discussion. The removal of not just Trump, but also the Christian fascist vice-president Mike Pence, and indeed this whole fascist regime, is an urgent matter facing humanity. The impeachment of Trump is an important development in that context. The Democrats are fighting this impeachment on very narrow terms… on the terms of this system, and in the interests of the ruling class of this system. Who is NOT being called up to testify during the impeachment hearings? What is NOT being discussed at the impeachment hearing? What will it really take to remove the entire Trump/Pence Regime from power?

Saturday, November 23
13. Saturday, 12Noon – 3:00pm, March For Housing Now – Our City, not Scarcity!
Meet at
Mosswood Park
Oakland
In the midst of the housing crisis, speculators are buying up houses, apartments and PUBLIC LAND. In Oakland, there are 4 VACANT units for every, individual unhoused person, 25% of whom are children.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
We cannot settle for ‘trickle-down’ solutions that overproduce “luxury” market-rate housing and structurally build in vacancies and homelessness. We must not stand by while corporate landlords and greedy developers buy up our cities and force black and brown families out in droves. We must work together to make “Housing is a Human Right” more than a slogan and ensure safe, humane housing for all.
JOIN US TO:
MOVE THOUSANDS OFF THE STREETS and vehicles into safe, healthy homes by filling vacant units
PROHIBIT THE HARASSMENT OF RESPONSIBLE TENANTS
by bad landlords trying to push them out for a quick dollar
STOP WALL STREET INVESTORS
from tearing down homes that are affordable to build housing for the wealthy
DEMAND THAT PUBLIC LAND BE USED FOR PUBLIC GOOD
through passing and enforcing strong, local public land use policies
EXPAND RENT CONTROL PROTECTIONS
by repealing Costa Hawkins
Hosts: ACCE Action & 5 Other groups
