2. Tuesday 4:00pm-5:30pm, Stop Trump’s Fascist War on Iran General Strike Now! Emergency Rally To Stop War!
SF Federal Building
90 7th St.
SF
This Tuesday is Trump’s “deadline”before his threat to bomb the nuclear power plants and expand the war globally.
The fascist war threat by Trump to “bomb Iran back to the stone age” is an attack on the entire world’s working class and people. His bombing of the largest nuclear power plant in Iran
would possibly lead to a dirty bomb nuclear explosion contaminating the entire Middle East and world.
Trump has also attacked Venezuela, is strangling Cuba, is supporting the Israeli genocide and pogroms in the West Bank and is threatening wars throughout the world as well as continued sanctions on countries that oppose US imperialist demands. Israel, fully supported by the US, has threatened to turn Lebanon into Gaza and Trump has the same plans for Iran. The Democrats have helped fund these wars.
At the same time, he is telling the US people that the government cannot pay for child care, medicaid and medicare but has to focus on expanding the war machine with a 50% increase to $1.5 trillion.
This has even led to a split in the US military. Over 20 top officers have been removed or resigned who do not want this undeclared and Illegal war which is really a suicide mission for US
troops. We support US troops who refuse these criminal orders and arrest any officers that tell them to commit war crimes.
We call on all workers and unions to support the calls for a general strike on May Day 2026, and to march together against imperialist wars abroad the capitalists here at home. We support an
independent democratic mass workers party with a program for working people against the techno fascist billionaires running the US and the world.

Murdered for Being Houseless and Indigenous in San Francisco: -10 year Angelversary of Luís Góngora Pat. Honored with a Special Screening of the new movie Crushing Wheelchairs in honor of Luís and many other victims of anti-houseless violence.
limited tickets still available at www.poormagazine.org proceeds go to support family -prayer ceremony for ancestors will launch the event -danzantes welcome !
Family of Luis Gongora Pat, Equipto, rapper and artist from the Frisco Five and Writer, co-Director tiny gray-garcia, Stephanie Grant and other Poverytskolaz from the movie will be present at the screening for comments and talk-back after the film
Luis Demetrio Góngora Pat was an indigenous father, brother, uncle and Sun. Luis Góngora was also houseless.His story and struggle is embodied in one of the protagonists featured in the new movie Crushing Wheelchairs, about the violence of homelessness, sweeps and police terror
On April 7, 2016, San Francisco police officers Michael Mellone and Nate Steger fired multiple rounds—both bean bag and live ammunition—killing Luis.
Despite administrative sanctions issued by the SFPD against the officers involved, and a Grand Jury finding sufficient evidence to proceed with a criminal case, Mellone and Steger were never held accountable; once again demonstrating how the justice system protects itself rather than its victims.
The case of Luís Góngora Pat was pursued by civil rights attorney Adante Pointer and supported by thousands of community members. His killing was one of the cases that sparked the hunger strike known as the Frisco Five, which ultimately led to the resignation of then–police chief Greg Suhr

A Talk by Sunsara Taylor
Because millions are driven from their homelands – only to be hunted like animals by ICE.
Yet it is possible to meet people’s needs everywhere. Without savage inequalities and exploitation. Celebrating different languages and cultures.
Because the Fascist Trump Regime unleashes open white supremacy and vile hatred against women and trans people. Shreds basic rights. Imposes an even more brutal, terroristic form of rule.
Yet it is possible to end racism, liberate women and end gender oppression.
Because the U.S. launches wars imperialist aggression. Backs the genocidal terrorist state of Israel – under Biden and Trump. Risks nuclear conflict. All while the planet burns.
Yet it is possible to move beyond war and marshal humanity’s resources to care for the Earth.
THE SCIENTIFIC TRUTH:
All these horrors flow from THE SYSTEM OF CAPITALISM-IMPERIALISM.
This system cannot be reformed.
It must be overthrown through a REAL REVOLUTION.
Relying on the Democratic Party is a loser. They are part of the problem! Electing “progressives” within this same system is meaningless. Tinkering on the margins with mutual aid falls woefully short. And while we need much more righteous resistance like in Minneapolis, even this can only go so far.
Humanity needs REVOLUTION and REAL SOCIALISM – a radically different economic and political system, and a transition to a communist world free of all exploitation and oppression.
You’ve been told to stay away from COMMUNISM. NO! Past revolutions brought liberating transformations to hundreds of millions. Not surprisingly, these first revolutions were also marked by shortcomings and errors.
Now, through decades of work and struggle, Bob Avakian (BA) has scientifically sifted through this rich experience, advanced beyond it, and brought this together with advances in other fields to forge the new communism, a whole new framework for the emancipation of humanity. BA has written the Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America. This is the only real alternative to the worsening spiral of capitalist destruction.

Thursday, April 9
6. Thursday, 9:00am – 10:30am (PT); 12Noon – 1:30pm (ET) Urgent Briefing: The Law of the Noose – Israel’s execution policy against Palestinians
Online registration: Webinar Registration – Zoom
Join the IMEU Policy Project for an urgent discussion on Israel’s enactment of a brutal policy to hang imprisoned Palestinians, known as the “Death Penalty Bill”- a move Palestinians and human rights defenders describe as the “genocide law”. With over 10,000 Palestinians being held in Israel’s brutal prisons, known for systemic abuse and torture, many imprisoned without charge, and a nearly 100% conviction rate against Palestinians, this bill marks a terrifying reality for thousands of Palestinians and their families.
The panel of experts will break down the legal implications of the “death penalty bill” and how it further entrenches Israel’s system of apartheid against Palestinians. Speakers will also cover the implications for Palestinians and how Palestinians are working to contest the law. The discussion will also go over ways we can demand that our elected officials speak up against it.
With the bill now approved by Israel, the urgency to protect tens of thousands of Palestinians held in what human rights groups call “Israel’s network of torture camps” has never been greater.
Speakers:
Diana Buttu, Palestinian Human Rights Attorney and Analyst,
Dr. Suhad Bishara, Legal Director of Adalah,
Orly Noy, Chair of B’Tselem and Editor at Local Call.
Host: Institute for Middle East Understanding (IMEU)
