ACTION ALERT
CALL YOUR SENATORS
TO Vote NO $$ for DHS, ICE and CBP FUNDING
Allow A Standalone Vote On DHS/ICE Funding
The Senate will vote on an appropriations bill to give the Department of Homeland Security, which includes Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP), $770 million more on top of the $45 billion they were given last year.
The money would expand detention and raids instead of investing in what our communities actually need: jobs, schools, housing, and healthcare.
There is a threat of a government shutdown – that is why the senators need to call for a ‘Standalone Vote” on DHS/ICE

Join us to connect the dots between Big Oil’s corporate profits and U.S. militarism in Venezuela, Palestine, Cuba, across the Caribbean, and around the world.

STAND WITH IRAN’S REBELS & AGAINST U.S.-ISRAEL WAR THREATS/MOVES ON IRAN! FREE IRAN’S POLITICAL PRISONERS NOW!
FILM SHOWING—INSIDE THE IRANIAN UPRISING (2022)
These are special events to mark what would be the 104th week of the courageous “No to Execution Tuesdays” weekly hunger strike by thousands of prisoners in scores of prisons across Iran. These selfless and brave prisoner rebels are the conscience of the society and call to us.
Iran’s theocratic regime has executed over 2,000 prisoners in 2025, the most in 20 years, and is now conducting brutal round-ups and street executions amid a new, sustained mass uprising since December 28, 2025. As of January 14th, over 2400 people have been reported to have been killed, thousands injured, and at least ten thousand in custody under horrific conditions. The situation is unfolding as we write. Letters from prisoners vow to continue their struggle amid all this.

Please note: The courtroom has limited capacity. Proceedings are accessible remotely via the County Website, remote Hearings Department 53 – https://santaclara.courts.ca.gov/online-services/remote-hearings
Pack the Court for the Stanford Students facing the most severe criminal case brought against US student protesters against the genocide
Closing arguments are expected to last all day Thursday, with jury deliberation to begin on Friday.
Please join us in packing the court on Thursday to send a strong message of solidarity to the entire court before the jury begins their deliberation process. Wear your keffiyehs!
This is the moment to show up. A packed courtroom sends a clear message: the Bay Area stands with the Stanford 11, no matter how hard the state tries to isolate, intimidate, and criminalize student resistance.
If you attend in person and do not get a seat in the courtroom, please stick around! People will leave at different intervals throughout the day. It is also impactful to pack the hallways of the courthouse and have a large showing outside. “
We invite all supporters to come out strong for Thursday, and to join us on Friday while jury deliberations are ongoing. On Friday, we will gather in front of the courthouse at 9am with food, banners, and more, to be in community with the Stanford 11 as they await the verdict. If jury deliberations continue into the next week, we will show up again on Monday.

Friday, January 30
Nationwide Shutdown
National Day of Action
ICE OUT of EVERYWHERE
No School, No Shopping, No Business As Usual
7. Friday, 1:00pm, National Day of Action – ICE OUT
Meet at:
Dolores Park
SF
On Friday, students and workers across the Bay Area will walk out! We support the call from Minnesota-based Somali and other student organizations — on Friday, January 30, join the national day of action to say ICE OUT OF EVERYWHERE!
This Friday, January 30, workers and students in the Bay will join thousands of people across the United States organizing walk outs to disrupt business as usual until ICE is out of our cities, towns and neighborhoods.
Now is the decisive moment. After 2+ years of our government committing a genocide, the imperial boomerang is upon us. What happened in Minnesota can and will happen here in the Bay Area if we do not act.
While we as a small business can’t shut down, as our immigrant team’s livelihood depends on your patronage, we will continue to hold space for refuge, gathering, strategizing, organizing, and disrupting status quo.
To all those thinking of walking out and taking to the streets, let us be your deciding factor. We’ll be serving free coffee from 1130-1 pm for anyone heading to Delores Park. Come be in community and let us nourish you.
What happened in Minnesota can happen here in the Bay Area.
Now is the decisive moment. The Minnesota General Strike has opened a historic opening. If we take a stand now, we can stop the killings, stop the kidnappings, and end the war on our communities.

9. Saturday, 12Noon – 1:30pm, We Need Single Payer Healthcare For All NOW!
Harry Bridges Plaza
Nr. SF Ferry Building
SF
American Healthcare is Broken: National Single Payer Rally
AMERICAN HEALTH CARE IS SICK
ELIMINATE THE PROFITS END THE PRICE HIKES!
PUT NATIONAL SINGLE PAYER ON THE TABLE
End the national disgrace that gives hundreds of billions in tax payer subsidies to ACA insurers who made $71.3 Billion in profits in 2024. Meanwhile, 40% of working age Americans are without any coverage or have junk health insurance.
Millions are set to lose ACA coverage and tens of millions will be saddled with rising employer health insurance premiums. Millions will lose Medicaid due to the “Big Ugly Bill.” This will kill tens of thousands of Americans and add more medical bankruptcies created by our private run healthcare system.
None of the “fixes” by the bought-and-paid politicians will end the crisis of affordability or provide the healthcare Americans need because Washington’s first priority is to maintain the profits of the insurers.
We need to urge our unions, particularly healthcare unions to join in these rallies. 500,000 healthcare workers will be terminated with these cutbacks and our unions need to mobilize their members and those who need healthcare together in this fight.
While both the Democrats and Republicans can pass a $901 billion military spending bill for more war and genocide, they have no money for healthcare for all.

11. Sunday, 1:00pm – 3:00pm, Boycott Chevron Picket
Chevron Corporate Station
5500 Telegraph Ave (Telegraph & 55th)
Oakland
Signs and chants will be provided. Bring your energy and tambourines!
Israel’s genocide machine couldn’t run without power from Chevron. Israel’s war on Gaza and Occupation of Palestine contributes to the climate catastrophe. Chevron supplies light and energy via its operation and co-ownership of two major Israeli-claimed fossil gas fields in the Mediterranean.
Chevron’s extraction activities are funneling millions of dollars in tax revenues to Israeli government coffers, directly fueling Israel’s system of settler colonialism and violence against all Palestinians. In 2022, those revenues amounted to over $462 million.
BDS is a global nonviolent Palestinian led movement, and we demand that Chevron immediately cut its contracts with genocidal Israel, and end its role in climate devastation globally.
Following in the tradition of the anti-apartheid gas station boycotts of the 60s & 70s, Palestinians and allies are building a global movement to hold Chevron accountable for its crimes through a coordinated boycott of Chevron gas stations and products around the world.

13. Monday, 4:00pm – 5:00pm, Stop Trump’s Racist Deportation of Haitians and All TPS Refugees
San Francisco Immigration Court
100 Montgomery St.
SF
(Near Montgomery St. BART)
| Protect TPS for Haiti and all TPS countries!End ICE attacks on Migrants! Abolish ICE!Stop the war on Venezuela and all wars for regime change! |
Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for 340,000 Haitian TPS holders expires on February 3rd. It has already been terminated for refugees from Venezuela and Somalia, and is in danger of ending for Myanmar refugees on Jan. 28 and other countries after that. Unless the motion for a stay is granted on Feb. 2nd, Haitians will lose their work permits and be subject to ICE detention and deportation. TPS is supposed to protect people from returning to unsafe conditions in their home countries. Since the 2004 US-orchestrated coup against the democratic government of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, Haiti has been completely destabilized under US/UN occupation.
In today’s Haiti, paramilitary death squads armed with weapons from the United States control large parts of the country, burning, raping and terrorizing the population. Over half the population – 5.7 million Haitians – are facing acute food insecurity; 1.4 million are internally displaced due to violence. This is the situation Donald Trump and Kristi Noem want to force hundreds of thousands of Haitians to return to. Ending TPS for Haitian refugees is just as much a violent attack on human rights as the ICE raids across the US.
