The SOTU was scheduled for Tuesday, January 29th. There has been a call for a nationwide day of action to include sick outs, pickets, strikes, Congressional office sit-ins, and rallies. 

—

On Tuesday, January 29, we will stand together with federal workers, immigrant communities, and all of those who are impacted by this shutdown. 

We reject the hateful rhetoric of the wall and the humanitarian crisis Trump has created at the border. Congress must immediately open the government, pay workers and contractors what they are owed, and the United States must immediately let those seeking asylum in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In California, the richest state in the nation, we are seeing a historic swell of support demanding a reinvestment back into our schools and communities at the state and local level.

Join us for a rally as we stand in solidarity with educators across the state and call on our elected officials in San Francisco to uphold the commitment made by SF voters who overwhelmingly passed Prop G. The time is now to invest in our students, educators, and schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. Wednesday, 6:30pm \u2013 7:30pm, Boycott Manny\u2019s and its \u201cWoke-Washing\u201d of the Mission<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manny\u2019s<\/p>\n\n\n\n

16th<\/sup> & Valencia St.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STOP THE WOKE-WASHING OF THE MISSION 

We are a group of black and brown folks, Jews, Mission Housing tenants, trans and queer people, and many others, who are committed to collective liberation. We are 
calling for a community boycott of Manny\u2019s (3092 16th at Valencia, SF) because this new upscale wine bar is yet another gentrifying attack on our community. While Manny\u2019s bills itself as a \u201ccommunity space\u201d, it\u2019s marketed toward white ruling class techies, and its programming often features right-wing politicians who are supported by the luxury condo industry. While Manny\u2019s is on the ground floor of a low-income building run by Mission Housing, its residents had no say in its placement. While countless Latinx cultural spaces are evicted from the Mission, Sam Moss who runs Mission Housing, gave Manny\u2019s a reduced rent. 

The owner of Manny\u2019s has worked with Bay Area Zionist organizations. Zionism is a racist ideology that believes Palestinian people have no claim to their land. Zionists, through the state of Israel, enforce this ideology by murdering, arresting, torturing, and displacing generations of Palestinian people. We stand against Zionism, gentrification, anti-Semitism, and all other forms of oppression. 

Manny\u2019s is part of a systematic attempt to make gentrification and racism seem \u201ccool\u201d through woke-washing. Woke-washing is the strategy of putting a \u201csocial justice\u201d fa\u00e7ade on oppressive politics.
