UAO Movie Night: Do Not Resist

We’ll be watching “Do Not Resist” and having a short discussion. As a part of our New Year’s resolutions, consider gaining a better understanding of police crime, how it affects our city, and most importantly, what we can do to combat it with police accountability.

With each passing day, we cannot forget that even small city Oshkosh experience police brutality with the murder of Isaiah Tucker in 2017. #justiceforisaiah

This event is free of charge. Childcare and snacks will be provided.

https://fighting-words.net/2019/01/22/death-of-transgender-migrant-bears-legacy-of-imperial-horrors/

By Cassandra Devereaux

Roxsana Hernández Rodriguez, a 33-year-old Honduran transgender woman, died on May 25, 2018, in the custody of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Officials proclaimed her death as being a result of complications due to HIV. A recently released independent autopsy paid for by the Transgender Law Center has added a new wrinkle that government officials left out: she had been severely beaten while in the custody of the state….

….There are many stories like this in the many countries of Central and South America. There are no countries in this region that have not known the boot of colonial military powers and only French Guyana has not been touched by U.S. forces. This exception shows that one empire has regard only for another and none for the people they dominate.

It was into this long legacy of colonial violence and domination that Roxsana Hernández Rodriguez was born. It’s impossible to know what her life may have been like if Honduras had never been a prize of U.S. imperialist powers. Perhaps Hondurans would have been among the many indigenous peoples never to develop a hatred of transgender people under colonial oppression. Maybe she never would have been raped for this difference, so fundamental to who she was as a person and to her personal dignity. Perhaps she might have thrived. Instead, she fled and sought asylum, but was incarcerated by a brutal xenophobic state. And so, she died, gravely ill and violently beaten in the care of the very powers that had brought subjugation and death to her region. As her body lies dead, the chorus of ruthless reactionaries and their agents cheer “Build the wall!” and drown out any reasoned examination of the blood on our hands. Until we rise as one to bring justice to bear, the ghosts of the dead will haunt us.

Say her name! Liberation for transgender migrants and all oppressed peoples! Revolutionary justice for Roxsana!

Ratification of an agreement must happen before we return to work

We are making progress. The two sides were bargaining until late last night and have been bargaining around the clock since Thursday. We resumed talks early this morning. It is important to know, whether or not we reach an agreement late tonight, we will NOT be going to work. Report to picket lines as usual in the morning on Tuesday.

The reason is that even if we have an agreement late tonight, our members will need to ratify the TA before we end the strike.We have systems in place where everyone will be able to be informed about the tentative agreement and vote on it, over a period of hours.

Our members voted 98% to authorize a strike, and when we end the strike it will also be up to our members to ratify any tentative agreement. We continue to bargain for an agreement today and will keep you posted.

Thank you,

UTLA President Alex Caputo-Pearl and the UTLA Bargaining Team: Arlene Inouye, Jeff Good, Gloria Martinez, Daniel Barnhart, Julie Van Winkle, Tomás Flores, Elgin Scott, Victoria Casas, Adrian Tamayo, Matthew Kogan, Cynthia Matthews, Javier Romo, Erika Jones, Grace Regullano, Vern Gates, and Rose Luna.
