Rally – Unite Against Fascism

30 On The Square, State Street Side of Wisconsin State Capitol, 11:30 A.M.

January 12, 1130am, join for a rally to Unite Against Fascism. We will be meeting at the top of State St, across from the Capitol, at 30 on the Square.

On January 12, far-right groups are planning a “We the People” rally to be held at the Wisconsin state capitol, on the State Street steps. The organizers of this rally include the 3% United Patriots.

The 3% United Patriots is a right-wing militia group that has been organizing armed vigilante squads at the US-Mexico border for years. They detain people crossing the border, handcuffing them and delivering them to US Border Patrol. They’ve since spread across the country.
The far right has been exploding in growth since the election of Donald Trump. The murder in Charlottesville at the “Unite the Right” rally and the shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue are two of the most visible attacks, but they are not the only ones. Hate crimes have skyrocketed, pipe bombs were sent through the mail, and others were stabbed to death on a train in Portland and at a bus stop in Boston. Far right groups like Patriot Prayer, the Proud Boys, and the 3%ers have grown in membership and influence.

We are organizing to stop their hate, their racism, sexism, and xenophobia. We are joining together to show that fascism and hate have no home here, and that people from across Wisconsin stand against them.

If you are a part of an organization or group that would like to sponsor, endorse, or help organize, please reach out to the hosts to get in touch.

President Nicolas Maduro delivers a press conference to local and international media at the government

https://bit.ly/2QE1wGj

The president said that any attempt against democracy should face the justice system, the constitution and the power of the union between civilians and the military.

In a press conference delivered to local and international media, the president of Venezuela Nicolas Maduro said Wednesday that a coup against the country is underway.

Venezuela Delivers Protest Note to ‘Lima Group’ Countries

“A coup is underway, ordered from Washington (capital of the U.S.), ordered from the Lima Cartel (Lima Group), in Venezuela, and I tell you: the Venezuelan people will know how to respond to any attempt, any intentions that are intended today or tomorrow. (…) The Bolivarian Revolution has been preparing to confront and defeat any traitor who intends to violate life in Venezuela.”

The president added that any attempt against democracy should face justice system, the constitution and the power of the union between civilians and the military.

During a press conference on national television from the Miraflores Palace in Caracas, the Bolivarian leader affirmed that the country is in a moment of definitions, and accused the media and the countries of turning his inauguration for a constitutional second term into a world war.

“What we have seen in recent weeks is unparalleled, the extremist forces against Venezuela have been unleashed,” said Nicolas Maduro, saying that the only objective of these operations is to destabilize and fill Venezuela with violence, confusion and chaos “to seize its riches and change the course of history.”

In addition, he accused the so-called Lima Group of being a “cartel of mafia interests”, commanded by the United States and of violating the rules of international coexistence through issuing the declaration of last Friday, which he categorized as being an “order” from the Venezuelan opposition.

His press conference comes just a day ahead of taking the oath for his second term (2019-2025), after winning the presidential elections on May 20, 2018 with 67.84 percent of the vote. Several world leaders are expected to attend the inauguration as well as several delegations from around the world.

We Are #RedForEd, Educators and Students Fighting for Quality Public Education for All

https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/redfored/

From Oakland to Los Angeles, educators are dedicated to providing the quality public education every child deserves, regardless of their zip code. Educators will not stop until their students have the resources they need to succeed, including:

  • Smaller class sizes
  • More nurses, librarians, counselors and psychologists
  • Less testing and more teaching
  • Safer schools
  • Stronger oversight and regulation of charter schools
  • Support for community schools
  • Competitive wages to keep quality educators from being priced out of living where they teach
  • Adequate funding

Educators want to be in the classroom with their students. Yet far too many are challenged to teach with dwindling resources, deteriorating schools, and class sizes that prevent them from giving each child the attention they deserve. Administrators unable to recognize that schools are not banks, and children are more than test scores have cut resources and ignored educators for far too long. The national #RedForEd movement has unified educators to fight back for their students. Across California, educators are boldly proclaiming: “We Are Red For Ed, and our students deserve better!”

Demanding change is bold and it can be a difficult choice to make. Educators on the front line need our solidarity and support more than ever. The fight is happening in LA and Oakland. Take time today to send them a message of encouragement.

Please add a personal message of support in the comment box. We’ll be sending these messages to educators leading this fight in their communities.

Want to take it a step further?

  • Plan a walk-in at your school
  • Wear Red for Ed in solidarity with Los Angeles and Oakland educators on January 11, 2019.
  • Share your support on social media using #RedForFed #WeAreCTA #WeAreLA #WeAreOEA

Milwaukee, January 10, 2019: Emergency Response Protest: No Wall! Asylum for Refugees!

Hosted by Milwaukee Coalition Against Trump and Young People’s Resistance Committee

Dontre Hamilton Park (Red Arrow Park)

920 N Water Street, Milwaukee. 6:30 – 8 P.M.

Trump’s failing plan to use federal employees as hostages to obtain funding for his border wall will not be accepted by the people! Immigrants seeking asylum are not criminals, our communities will not fall for the lies that the Trump administration spews.

Trump’s Oval Office address attempted to dehumanize and criminalize immigrants and refugees, and divide our communities by racial lines, claiming that “Unlawful immigration drives down wages and job opportunities” and among the hardest hit are African Americans and Latino Americans. We know that this is simply not true, and that we must be united in our fight against Trump.

Join the Milwaukee Coalition Against Trump this Thursday to push back against Trump’s racist agenda.

WHAT TO BRING

Se ve, se siente, Milwaukee esta presente!
Aqui estamos, y no nos vamos. Y no nos echan, nos regresamos!
