Unions Are Essential for Eliminating Racism
A new study finds that unions don't just increase wages and benefits for workers on the job — union membership is also linked to diminished racist attitudes among white workers. If we want to defeat racism, building strong, democratic unions is essential.

Do you support the idea of defunding the Seattle Police Department?
"Scratch the surface of this feel-good story of crime reduction and community policing, and you’ll find a “surveillance city.” Camden is under constant monitoring: cameras, ShotSpotter gunshot detectors, automated license plate readers, a mobile observation tower. The much-praised police-citizen interactions that make up the work of “community policing” also double as moments of intelligence collection. It’s not just one-off interactions either. Police also develop relationships with neighborhood sentinels — “mothers with children, postal delivery workers, people who are engaged in local groups” — to gather intelligence. They organize residents to monitor their neighbors, report activity to police, and otherwise bolster police programs."
"The current Camden fetish is an attempt to avoid any real reckoning with the failures of police and capital. It’s an attempt to recalibrate state violence in the guise of progressive reform. Camden is not a model. It’s an obstacle to real change."

The “Camden Model” Is Not a Model. It’s an Obstacle to Real Change.
In response to radical demands to defund and disband the police, liberal reformers are pushing the “Camden model.” Don’t fall for it. Camden relies on mass surveillance to pacify its population — all to benefit business interests.

Her name is Safiya Satchell.
Jordy Martell, a Miami police officer, pulled her over to issue a "warning". Then, Jordy dragged Safiya out of her vehicle, kneeled on her neck, and tased her twice. Safiya was four months pregnant. After being tased twice, she miscarried.
No justice until MPD officer Jordy Martell is prosecuted for attempted murder.

The ICE event had its facebook page deleted for a number of reasons. There will still be an event of some kind and the safety precautions for it are not as developed as they should be for such a large event. That said people are working on putting together as much safety and organization as they can with limited time, and a new facebook page is up with updated info (it's still at Westlake at 11a/1p)
