On Saturday, March 16, thousands of people will march in Washington, D.C. against the Trump administration’s effort to engineer a coup in Venezuela and a new devastating war there. The aggressive policy 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 “axis of evil”) as a precursor for regime change first in Venezuela, and then Cuba and Nicaragua. Trump has always said that the “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.
MILWAUKEE: Support the Stone Creek Coffee Workers Union!
SIGN PETITION: https://bit.ly/2Hhdx3n
Stone Creek Coffee Worker’s Union
To be delivered to Eric Resch, Owner, Stone Creek Coffee, Drew Pond, Co-Owner, Managing Director
To be delivered to Stone Creek Coffee Management:
I stand in solidarity with workers at Stone Creek Coffee as they make history, organizing the first ever union at a Milwaukee coffee company. I ask that Stone Creek Coffee management respect workers’ effort to unionize for better wages, benefits, working conditions, and a voice at work.
Background
Workers at Stone Creek Coffee have met for the past several months to discuss their issues at work, and are organizing to form a Union to meet with management as equals! Show your solidarity as they work with Teamsters Local 344 to build that vision. Lend your voice in support of the following issues:
1. We’re proud to be Stone Creek employees. Stone Creek Coffee is a Milwaukee company, and we support local, quality made products. Our union will give a voice to the workers as equals, where we can have a contract to fix scheduling, hours of work, and other issues permanently. An open-door policy is fine, but we want a union contract!
2. Stone Creek workers deserve a raise. We are the faces and the muscle of the company, and wages of 8-10 dollars force us to rely on tips to survive. We deserve a fair days work for a fair days pay.
3. Stone Creek Coffee management should recognize our union, or at least remain neutral as we organize and find our voice. Milwaukee is a union town that respects working families – not union-busters.

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.
