SF Chinese Consulate
1450 Laguna St. (@ Geary Blvd)
SF
The Namibian Miners Union Of Namibian Rossing Branch 7 union executive members have been illegally fired since September 2020 by their employer the state owned Chinese National Nuclear Corporation CNNC which has majority ownership of the Rossing uranium mine.
The company has been stalling the arbitrations and is trying to starve the mners and their families to give up. The Namibian government run by SWAPO is also allowing the flagrant violations of labor laws and union contracts by the Chinese government and Chinese privately owned mines in Namibia. In fact striking Chinese workers at the Best Cheer marble mine were replaced by Chinese nationals when they went on strike in April 2021 for better health and safety conditions and housing benefits.
Last month, the lawyer for the MUN Rossing Branch leadership Hewat Beukes was attacked when his house was surrounded and his electricity and water was cut off. Beukes also represents other workers and unions throughout Nambia including the Nambian United Fisherman.

Intermission — Creative art action (details will be shared on the ground)
The situation in Anishinaabe territory is dire right now.
Enbridge is spilling drilling fluid into the wetlands of the Mississippi headwaters as it rushes to complete the Line 3 pipeline. Hundreds of Water Protectors are chaining themselves to drilling equipment to prevent Enbridge from violating Anishinaabe treaty rights. Enbridge is currently violating 21 river crossings and hundreds of waterways across Minnesota. If completed, the expanded tars sands pipeline would unleash the emissions equivalent of fifty new coal plants.
On July 23rd, major banks (such as JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, and Citibank) had loans worth nearly $6 billion to Enbridge, the company behind Line 3, that were due for renewal. We made it clear that the banks must walk away from those loans if they cared at all about curtailing the climate crisis & respecting Indigenous rights. In the past twelve months, nearly every major bank has pledged to achieve “net-zero” climate emissions by 2050. Yet, the banks chose to renew the loans and to keep funding Line 3.
This is greenwashing at its worst — so on Friday, August 13th, activists from around the country will demand banks stop funding the Line 3 pipeline, and all other fossil fuel projects.
Corporate greenwashing is the new climate denial ― and it must be called out.

In-person – RSVP: DACA IS NOT ENOUGH-CITIZENSHIP FOR ALL MULTI-CITY RALLY (SAN FRANCISCO, CA) | United We Dream Action
Senator Feinstein’s Office (Outside)
1 Post St.
SF
Earlier this month, a judge in Texas ruled ending part of the DACA program. Initial applications are no longer accepted – leaving more than 80,000 immigrant youth in limbo. We know that DACA is only a band-aid solution to a big problem. We DEMAND a permanent solution, which is CITIZENSHIP FOR ALL IMMIGRANTS NOW! We want to put pressure on them to pass the immigration bill currently up to vote. With the passage of this bill, millions of people in this country would be able to fully participate in our communities. This is a small window of opportunity, that if we rally up together, we can make this into a reality. If you have been wanting to help but not sure where or how to start, this is your chance!
We hope you can join us to connect and show our congress that this is an urgent bill that people in this country care about .

Featured Films
Plandemic Indoctornation won the Gold Award from The European Independent Film Award for Best Documentary. The first part of Plandemic, a 26 minute documentary featuring veteran virologist Judy Mikovits, has been seen by over one billion people worldwide.
The premiere of Plandemic: Indoctornation, featuring white collar crime investigator, Dr. David Martin, set a world record with 2 million viewers attending the global livestream. The series was smeared by critics as “dangerous conspiracy theory.” US media took unprecedented measures to make the masses look away. When Dr. Mikovits made the bold claim that COVID-19 was manipulated in a lab, she was smeared as “crazy”. When Dr. Martin exposed the patents and paper trail proving that that Dr. Fauci was covertly funding dangerous gain of function research at the Wuhan Lab, critics laughed. One year later, they were no longer laughing. Through various independent investigations and accredited studies, every major claim made within the Plandemic series has been validated as accurate. The tide is turning. Truth is emerging. Plandemic is now being acknowledged for being among the first to warn the world of the agenda to reduce the liberties of citizens through medical tyranny. Directed by Mikki Willits, produced in 2020 by Elevate Films.
9/11: Decade of Deception is a documentary of the Toronto Hearings on 9/11. On the tenth anniversary of the Attacks of September 11th, 2001, expert witnesses gathered at Ryerson University in Toronto, Canada to provide evidence-based research that called into question the official story of 9/11. Over a period of four days, these experts in Structural Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, and History gave researched and professional testimony to an international panel of distinguished judges. The panel of judges, in conjunction with the steering committee would go on to publish their final analysis of the evidence provided, which called for a new investigation into the Attacks of September 11th, 2001. This version is from highlights of The Toronto Hearings on 9/11, which were renamed and edited by Press for Truth in 2015.
The PUSHBACK- The Day the World Stood Together On March 20th 2021, people in over 40 countries across the world gathered in peaceful unison for a worldwide demonstration – to oppose disproportionate government measures threatening the very foundation of their rights and freedoms. This huge international effort was appallingly misrepresented and downright ignored by the mainstream media.Produced by Oracle Films, in collaboration with CoviLeaks and independent journalists in over 40 nations – this documentary is an authentic account of what really happened on March 20th, 2021, what protestors worldwide were standing against, and why the media went to such lengths to conceal the truth.
Host: The Northern California 9/11 Truth Alliance
