All Out for Rasmea’s April 25th plea hearing in Detroit!
WHEN: Tuesday, April 25th, 2017, at 1:00 PM Eastern Time (rally at 1:00 PM, hearing starts at 2:30 PM)
WHERE: U.S. District Court, 231 W. Lafayette Blvd., downtown Detroit, Michigan
The Rasmea Defense Committee is calling on everyone to mobilize for Rasmea’s final court appearance in Detroit on April 25th, and tell us here that you’re attending, or if you need a ride or can provide transportation!
It is essential that we fill the courtroom one final time, in support of our leader and shero Rasmea Odeh, who accepted a plea agreement two weeks ago (statement linked here), and will be forced to leave the United States soon.
Supporters from Chicago and other parts of Illinois, as well as from Milwaukee, Detroit / Dearborn, Grand Rapids, Ann Arbor, Minneapolis / St. Paul, Cincinnati, Indiana, and other Midwest areas are already committed to attend.
Continue to support #Justice4Rasmea, and stay in touch through www.justice4rasmea.org and justice4rasmea@uspcn.org.
The Rasmea Defense Committee is led by the U.S. Palestinian Community Network and the Committee to Stop FBI Repression.
We deserve a government that works for all Americans. But the Administration has proposed a budget that , he’s filling his cabinet with Wall Street elite and cutting the budget to hurt the middle class.
We’ve seen this before, and we’re not going to take it. That’s why tomorrow, Tuesday, April 25 at 9 a.m., we’re rallying at the White House to demand a budget that works for all of us.
Who:
AFGE members and other activistsThank you for all that you do. We hope to see you there.

Hosted by Student Coalition for Progress – Madison
Bascom Hill, 500 Lincoln Drive, Madison, WI, 6 P.M.
The protofascist group Young Americans for Freedom is organizing again on campus this semester. After last semester’s damaging lecture by Ben Shapiro that resulted in many harassment incidents, Y.A.F. is bringing in another speaker… this time it is economist Steve Forbes, who will be speaking on “How Capitalism Will Save Us.”
Capitalism is inherently a violent ideology that preys on the weakest in our communities. It does not leave room for people of color, people with low income, disabled people, and many others to succeed. Instead of “saving us,” this ideology will only make us weaker.
We will be holding a rally with speakers at the top of Bascom Hill at 6:00 PM.
Please message us if you wish to cosponsor this event or speak at the rally!

…The crisis in Korea, like the economic and geopolitical crises for U.S. imperialism around the globe, cannot be tweeted away nor can they be overcome by military means. U.S. imperialism is a colossus with feet of clay. Trump is finding that out the hard way.
Goldstein is author of Low-Wage Capitalism: Colossus with Feet of Clay and Capitalism at a Dead End, available from all major booksellers.
