4. Urge President Biden to Commute Federal Death Row
President Biden says he supports eliminating the federal death penalty but hasn’t taken any action yet. So we’re asking you to join us in urging him to commute the sentences of the 46 men currently on federal death row and eliminate the possibility that we will witness again the killing spree that the Trump Administration committed in the last half of 2020.
The federal death penalty system is deeply flawed. It reflects the misguided “tough on crime” policies of the 1990s and early 2000s and shows the same racial bias that we see in state death penalty systems. Of the 46 men currently on federal death row, 39 percent are Black, compared with about 13 percent of the U.S. population. Seven of the 13 executions carried out last year were people of color. In addition, several of the men on death row, including those among the 13 who were executed in the last half of 2020, were not the accused killers, and their culpable or equally culpable co-defendants were not sentenced to death.

1. Thursday, 9:00am, Rally for a People’s Budget! Action + Press Conference
Frank H. Ogawa Plz. (Oscar Grant Plz)
Oakland
Budgets are moral documents — they reveal what our city prioritizes and cares about. The Mayor’s proposed budget would DOUBLE police overtime and would spend $350 million into armed police officers but just $32 million into addressing the housing crisis.
Join the Refund Labor and Community coalition at Oscar Grant plaza this Thursday June 17th at 9 am to demand that the City of Oakland adopt a People’s Just Recovery Budget before the City Council meets at 10:30am!
Oakland must prioritizes creating housing, jobs, cultural programs and fully funding essential city services such as trash cleanup, libraries, parks instead of criminalization and over-policing.
We demand full funding of our parks, our libraries, our rec centers, affordable housing, and community-based mental health and violence prevention programs that create pathways to real community safety and prosperity.
Hosts: Refund Oakland & East Bay Democratic Socialist of America

2. Thursday, 10:00am, Public Comment Needed at SF Board of Sups. Budget & Appropriations Meeting
Instructions:
Give Public Comment at the budget hearing starting at 10 a.m. though we expect the relevant items to show up at 1PM.
Get text alerts when relevant presentations begin and when public comment opens. You can get the DPH Must Divest public comment guide here.
You can follow the city agenda here.
Divest in Harm, Invest in Healing
The proposed SF city budget increase the numbers of cops and increases funding to policing and prisons to AN ALL TIME HIGH. We need to make sure the Board of Supervisors hears our calls to divest from policing and incarceration, and refund our communities!
As you know, we closed County Jail 4 (850 Bryant) last year thanks to strong advocacy from the community. Now it’s time to demand a refund to the community that is at least equivalent to the operating costs of CJ4 and taking the sheriff out of our city hospitals and clinics.
San Francisco Police Department and Sheriffs Department budgets are being reviewed
This month, the Board of Supervisors will decide whether to cut funding to the Sheriff’s Department budget. We have an opportunity to divert nearly $50 million dollars away from the Sheriff to instead fund services that help make our communities safer: housing, healthcare, education, and more.
Alert prepared by DefundSFPDNOW, with many supporting community based organizations.
3. Thursday, 10:30am, Oakland – Action Alert – Tell City Council it’s time to Refund, Restore, and Reimagine!
Online register: Action Alert – Tell City Council it’s time to Refund, Restore, and Reimagine! (actionnetwork.org)
ZOOM link will be sent once U RSVP
Even after thousands of Oaklanders have demanded that the city reduce police spending and instead invest in community services, Mayor Schaaf’s proposed Oakland city budget for 2021-2023 would increase the police budget yet again.
Council President Nikki Fortunato Bas just released her budget proposal on Monday, June 14. While we believe a much larger divestment from law enforcement is necessary, it’s promising to see that the Council President’s budget includes a comprehensive audit of the Oakland Police Department and a thorough examination of positions that could be civilianized, moved out of OPD, or a combination of the two.
The safest communities are the most resourced communities, where everyone has their basic needs met. Instead of criminalizing, caging, and killing our Black, Brown, and unhoused neighbors, the City of Oakland needs to ensure that ALL Oaklanders have secure and affordable access to healthy food and water, quality housing, mental health resources, education, meaningful employment opportunities, and community-based responses to harm and gender violence.
Please join us at the upcoming special City Council meeting, where they will hear proposed amendments to Libby’s budget proposal, and sign up to give public comment! We need to put the pressure on City Council right NOW & continue to demand that they defund OPD and refund, restore, reimagine.

7. Thursday, 5:00pm (PT), 8:00pm (ET), Defend Trans Youth! Cops and Colonizers Out of Pride!
Online register: Webinar Registration – Zoom
oin the LGBTQ+ Caucus of Workers World Party and friends for a discussion about the critical issues facing our communities. As we enter Pride month, 33 state legislatures are debating 117 bills that if passed would deny basic civil rights to trans people. Why is 2021 a record breaking year for such bigoted legislation. Why are trans youth being targeted?
At the same time, after more than a year of being locked down due to COVID-19, we are continuously faced with the twin epidemics of rampant racist police terror against the Black and Brown communities and US-financed occupation, bombings, and murder of Palestinian people in the West Bank and Gaza.
While the many Pride marches and activities may be virtual this year, the time is now to organize as the LGBTQ+ communities to defend trans youth and demand that cops and colonizers be thrown out of Pride for good!

Curious how long you’ll live? Studies suggest that the most accurate predictor is your zip code.
Richmond, California has more asthma-related emergency room visits and hospitalizations than anywhere else in its county. These hospital visits are not equal between demographics: time and again, data shows that Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian American Pacific Islander, and other people of color are disproportionately impacted by Richmond’s environmental degradation. However, residents are fighting back.
Join us for this live conversation and hear from prominent Richmond environmental justice organizations about their work to connect with the land as a form of resistance—educating the public, empowering residents, shaping policy, and more.
Hosted by the Exploratorium’s Kate O’Donnell, speakers include:

13. Sunday, 11:30am – 2:00pm, San Francisco Caravan: End the U.S. Blockade of Cuba!
Meet at:
1875 Marin St.
SF
Across the United States and around the world, car caravans and other solidarity demonstrations are taking place in the lead up to the June 23rd United Nations vote on the resolution calling for the end of the U.S. blockade on Cuba.
The Trump administration signed more than 240 measures against Cuba, tightening the blockade, including banning remittances from Cuban-Americans to their families in Cuba ($1.5 billion in 2019), placing Cuba on the “sponsor of state terrorism” list, forcing other countries to also deny Cuba trade. This is false and an outrage. It is Cuba that has suffered from U.S.-backed terrorist attacks that have killed 3,478 Cuban citizens and injured 2,099.
The 60-year blockade is a violation of International law. It is a criminal and inhumane policy to punish the Cuban people for their independence and sovereignty.

Sunday, 5:00pm (PT); 8:00pm (ET), Film: Sacha, A Child From Chernobyl
Register: SACHA, A CHILD FROM CHERNOBYL | Resumen LatinoAmericano English (resumen-english.org)
A film produced by Resumen Latinoamericano about the untold story of Cuba’s contribution to help victims of Chernobyl.
Sacha Un Niño de Chernobyl
(with English subtitles)
With Remarks by the Cuban Ambassador to the United States, Lianys Torres Rivera
Olexandr Savchenko, “Sacha,” was one year old when the explosion of the nuclear power plant Vladimir Ilich Lenin at Chernobyl occurred on April 26, 1986. He lived in Chernigov, a village in the Ukrainian countryside near the area of the accident. He got sick shortly afterward and doctors were unable to make a clear diagnosis because the healthcare system had collapsed while the then Soviet Union was close to disintegrating. Sacha’s condition worsened to the despair of his mother, Lidia Savchenko, who took her baby from one doctor to another without his getting better. One day, other mothers in similar situations told her that there was a possibility that he could be treated on a small island far away. Sacha, it turns out, is one of the 26,000 boys and girls from Russia, Belarus, and the Ukraine who were treated in Cuba over a 21 year period after the nuclear accident at Chernobyl.
This is the context for the history told by the new 39 minute documentary film; Sacha, A Child from Chernobyl, directed by Cuban film-makers Roberto Chile and Maribel Acosta Damas and produced by the Argentine news agency Resumen Latinoamericano.

On the Memorial Day (June 23, Okinawa Time), people in Okinawa mourn all the lives perished during the war. For them, all souls are not enemies. It’s a day to remember and pledge for peace.
Despite the people’s wish for peace, the struggles are still going on in Okinawa, which hosts 32 US military facilities, including one USFJ-JSDF Joint Use Facility in this tiny prefecture.
At Henoko, where a new US military base is being constructed despite the people’s opposition, earth and soil which might contain the remains of war-dead could be used for the reclamation.
Also, in the small islands surrounding the Okinawa main island, the missile bases of the Japan Self Defense Force are being constructed. Despite the fear and opposition of local islanders, the US and Japanese governments are jointly militarizing the area more and more hand in hand.
Through the Zoom session we explore the voices of people from Okinawa and their supporters to raise our awareness on the spirits and wisdom of Okinawan people, who, under the unfair rule by the Japanese central government, have kept fighting for justice for decades. Now when the tension caused by the US-Japan alliance against China could become more and more menace, their resilient and undefeatable fight for peace is invaluable.
Their proud slogan is “Nuchi du Takara.” Life is a treasure.

On Sunday, June 27, 2021, on the route of the very first Gay Liberation March, 51 years ago, we will roar our voices in solidarity with our Black, Brown, and Indigenous Trans and Queer family, friends, lovers, and neighbors. We stand in protest of transgender and racial injustice, police violence, killings, unjust healthcare, and unrelentless gun control, and let’s not ever forget the reparations to Black People. We demand changes!
We will show up in droves with amplified voices to advocate for the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, denounce and condemn police violence against our communities, and raise awareness for the need to defund police departments, which will allow for funds to be reallocated to social services, mental healthcare providers, and social justice organizations., After losing 600,000 lives to Covid-19, most of which are Black, Latinx, and Indigenous, we insist on consistent universal healthcare for everyone and support the continuance of the Affordable Care Act.
People’s March will be led by an all-Black, Brown, and Indigenous committees of Trans and Queer activists, community leaders, artists, and performers.
Join us as we Unite To Fight for our civil rights!
We will not be silenced!
