When the verdict was handed down, members of the San Francisco Police Department had already begun celebrating White&#8217;s minimal manslaughter sentence. However, others demanded answers, protesting in front of City Hall.<br><br>The police predictably responded with terror and violence. Fueled by vindication and immunity, they picked up innocent bystanders on Castro Street and crushed them into the sidewalk, believing that bashing some queers was still their prerogative, and they would not be held accountable.<br><br>Police violence is a common denominator within our communities: queers, incarcerated people, immigrants, the homeless, and people of color, with our black brothers and sisters being the most imperiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Harvey Milk LGBTQ Democratic Democratic Club won&#8217;t mark this anniversary with moments of silence, staid civic memorials, or social media tributes, but with a call to action among our communities to demand that police violence end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The loss of our lives at the hands of law enforcement will not be tolerated, and perpetrators will be brought to justice. So, we will march on San Francisco City Hall just as San Franciscans did that night in 1979 and speak this truth.<br><br>The Club is asking all interested groups and organizations to reach out and let us know if you would like to join us in this action.

Wednesday, 11:00am \u2013 12:30pm,&nbsp;Indigenous Women on Frontlines of Fossil Fuel Resistance- Online<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Online Worldwide<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Join WECAN International for &#8211; &#8216;Indigenous Women on the Frontlines of Fossil Fuel Resistance&#8217; &#8211; a free, online training presented as part of our 2019 series of Online Education and Advocacy Trainings! Starts at 11:00am PST\/ 2:00pm EST (US time zones, please check your own time zone to participate.) Links to join online or by phone at the bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ABOUT: Around the world, women are advocating and taking action against extractivism, and leading fossil fuel resistance movements as we collectively struggle to halt further global warming and protect our communities. Extractivism is rooted in great part due to colonialism and patriarchy and is perpetuated through the current neoliberal extractivist economic model. This model destroys the Earth\u2019s natural systems of life and has a particular and unique impact on women and Indigenous communities.&nbsp;<br><br>During the \u2018Women On the Frontlines of Fossil Fuel Resistance\u2019 training, presenters will share stories, calls to action, and the latest updates from various campaigns and resistance movements, helping participants sharpen their analysis and learn how they can engage and support on-the-ground, frontline fossil fuel movements led by Indigenous women. Focus areas will include movements to prevent the destructive impact of the Line 3 pipeline in Minnesota, the Bayou Bridge pipeline in Louisiana, tar sands extraction in Canada, and oil extraction in the Amazon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indigenous women across the Americas continue to work diligently to address issues of extraction, colonization, Indigenous rights, Rights of Nature, violence against women, and women as critical defenders of the living Earth. While indigenous women are central to climate solutions, they also are disproportionately impacted by its negative effects due to unequal gender norms and racism, which marginalizes women\u2019s voices, and impacts women\u2019s economic opportunities, rights, bodies, education, and political power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>HOW: To join Training<\/strong>&nbsp;<br>Option A &#8211; Join via your computer or smart phone internet connection:<br><br>1.

We are&nbsp;<br>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.&nbsp;<br><br>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.&nbsp;<br><br>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><br>JOIN US EVERY WEDNESDAY 7:00PM&nbsp;<br><br>Endorsed by&nbsp;<br>Black and Brown for Peace Justice and Equality;&nbsp;<br>The Lucy Parsons Project;&nbsp;<br>Palestinian Youth Movement &#8211; Bay Area;&nbsp;<br>Brown Beret National Organization;&nbsp;<br>National Brown Berets;&nbsp;<br>International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network;&nbsp;<br>Queers Undermining Israeli Terrorism;&nbsp;<br>Jews Against Zionism;&nbsp;<br>GAY SHAME: A Virus in the System<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Thursday, May 23<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>15.
