Sunday, 4:00pm \u2013 7:00pm, Car rally for Artsakh <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Meet at:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stonetown\u00a0 Galleria We will congregate in the parking lot of Stonetown galleria at the souther end parking lot, north of SF State U at around 4:00 pm And move out from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We will end at the Vogue theater to see the Aurora sunrise (optional)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Routes and direction will be provided to participants the day before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since December of 2022, the fascist republic of azerbaijan has put 120,000 Armenians, 30,000 of whom are children, in the free and democratic Republic of Artsakh under blockade. Aliyev, the de facto sultan of azerbeijan, has turned Artsakh (Nagorno Karabagh) into the Warsaw concentration camp. And aims to repeat what Hitler’s beloved Azeri and Turkish troops did there, slaughter everyone indiscriminately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is worth noting that azerbaijan and turkey (gobble gobble) are two of the most racist countries in the world at this moment. There can be no peace with the amount of vitriolic and institutionalized racism that both countries spew out on daily bases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The choice people of Artsakh are given is basically the method of death. Starvation or torture, beheadings, rape and mutilation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By torturing and killing the Armenians in Artsakh both turkey and azerbaijan aim to bring the Republic of Armenia to its knees and force it to give up the souther part of the Armenian territory (the famed province of Syunik) So that the pan Turkic empire can become a reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is being done in the plain view of the world. With western governments ignoring it and the media hardly reporting it. It is up to us, friends, allies, comrades to focus the public’s attention on this matter. And hence a car rally in San Francisco. The public needs to be informed of what is happening in Armenia and Artsakh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Info: Car rally for Artsakh | Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 10.

It\u2019s Not A Commemoration, It\u2019s A Continuation! We March On!<\/h1>\n\n\n\nDemocracy faces its greatest threat in years. Hard-fought civil rights are being decimated nationwide.
The March on Washington 2023, because it is one tool of many, we are collectively using an opportunity to recenter and engage the movement following a disastrous term after
Supreme Court decisions and the continued erosion of our rights by legislators and courts across the country.
This march continues the original 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, carrying the same issues of discrimination and civil rights abuses.
Our civil rights are under severe attack!<\/h1>\n\n\n\nThere are many mass efforts by some to assert control over us and our voting rights. Violence, intimidation, and attempts to erase our history are political tools that underestimate the power of the people.
Hate crimes, hate speech, and antisemitism against our communities based on race, religion, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, and disability are at their highest. These attacks perpetuating long-standing systemic injustices do not have a place in democracy.
Join us to fight against white supremacy and disinformation and to uphold our collective values of freedom, equality and justice. This collaborative effort centers on communities, their voices, and young people.<\/h1>\n\n\n\nInfo:\u00a0MLK’s Dream: 60th Anniversary of March on Washington Livestream : Indybay<\/a><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Scottish Workers Take Solidarity Action To Support Chilean Workers & People Against Pinochet Dictatorship\u00a0<\/h1>\n\n\n\nThe feature-length film tells the story of four Scotsmen – Bob Fulton, John Keenan, Robert Somerville and Stuart Barrie – who along with their workmates
downed tools and refused to service and repair engines for the Chilean air force’s British-made Hawker Hunter jet fighters. It explores just how significant
their actions were in depriving the Chilean military dictatorship of much of its air power, contrary to the latter’s claims at the time, through witness statements
not only from several victims of the 1973 military coup but also from the unrepentant former Chilean Air Force chief Fernando Rojas Vender.[4]
There will be a panel with guest trade unionists from Chile & also a short video about the heroic experience and work of the Cordones Industriales (Workers Councils). The Workers
Councils fought against the US economic blockade and the Chilean ruling class-created scarcity and black market by instituting worker controlled factories and production lines.<\/h1>\n\n\n\nSponsored by: Labor Education Project On AFL-CIO Internatonal Operatons LEPAIO<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
