Oshkosh, March 9, 2019: International Women’s Day
Join United Action Oshkosh at Harmony Pizza in Appleton from 6-9pm on March 9th to celebrate International Women’s Day! Co-hosted by Wisconsin Freedom Road Socialist Organization, this event will focus on highlighting the leading role women have played (and currently play!) in the struggle for our collective liberation. From union battles to struggles against police crimes and the fight for immigrant rights, women are leading the charge.
A part of this celebration will incorporate a storytelling aspect, where we encourage women to share their stories with us through whichever medium they choose: poetry, song, spoken word, just plain speech, or anything else. People who are interested in attending and would like to participate in this storytelling aspect should prepare something in advance and message the UAO page if there are any questions.
Stay tuned for more information.

March 16, 2019: National March on the White House: U.S. Hands Off Venezuela!
Hosted by Answer Coalition
U.S. hands off Venezuela!
NO to the coup — NO to sanctions — NO to a new U.S. war
On Saturday, March 16, thousands of people from all over the United States will march in Washington, D.C. against the Trump administration’s brazen coup in Venezuela and a new devastating war there. The outrageous, illegal attacks against Venezuela repeats the ugly pattern of wars for regime change in the oil-rich countries of Iraq and Libya. National Security Advisor John Bolton is reading from the same script, declaring a “troika of tyranny” in Latin America (like the George W. Bush’s “axis of evil”) as a precursor for attempted regime change first in Venezuela, and then Cuba and Nicaragua. Trump has always said that the real “mistake” of the Middle East wars was that the U.S. didn’t “take the oil.”
It is time to stand up and with a clear voice say NO to the newest example of the “Monroe Doctrine,” which the U.S. government has used for over two centuries to repeatedly invade Latin America and Caribbean, control its politics and extract its resources.
The White House aims to overthrow the government of President Nicolás Maduro and replace him with Juan Guaidó. Guaidó is a U.S.-trained operative who was unknown to the vast majority of Venezuelans before he proclaimed himself president — at Vice President Mike Pence’s urging. Although Guaidó has the backing of Trump, the CIA, and the Republican and Democratic Party leaderships alike, huge numbers of Venezuelans have marched to reject this coup and defend their independence.
On March 16, the people of the United States will show the world that the billionaire politicians do not speak for us. We say:
-U.S. hands off Venezuela!
-NO to the coup — the U.S. does not have the right to select other country’s leaders!
-NO to the sanctions, oil embargo and economic war on Venezuela that is already causing suffering for ordinary people in the country.
-NO to military intervention and war from the U.S. and their proxies in the region.
Solidarity With Kentucky Educators, Students & Their Communities
Oakland Education Association Members Ratify Contract
Oakland Education Association members voted to ratify our contract. With a turnout of over 70% of OEA members voting, the results were 64% YES for the 2017/18 contract term, and 58% for the 20/21 contract term. With gains in every key area, this contract lays a solid foundation for the challenging fight ahead to ensure that all Oakland kids have access to fully-funded, well-resourced public schools in their neighborhood with great educators and support staff that can afford to stick around.
The real victory of our historic strike for the schools our students deserve lies in the power and unity we built at our school sites, in our union, and in the city of Oakland. Tens of thousands of Oaklanders of all ages joined us on our picket lines and at our mass rallies and actions. 3% of OUSD’s 37,000 students attended school during the strike, a tremendous act of solidarity from our students and families. Our union has never been stronger — with 95% of our members honoring the strike and new leaders stepping up at all 86 of our Oakland public schools — and we are determined to keep fighting.
The city of Oakland has spoken. No longer will we allow a handful of billionaires determine the educational opportunities of Oakland kids. We will continue to organize with each other and fight until we have truly realized the schools our students deserve.
