About wibailoutpeople

We are a part of the national Bail Out The People movement which formed in 2008 to fight against the bailouts to the banks. Since then we have been in numerous fights against poverty, racism and war. We demand that the people be bailed out not the banks, a moratorium on all foreclosures, a federal jobs program now and other demands. We have been participating in the Wisconsin people's uprising, Bloombergville in NYC and numerous other people's actions.

Milwaukee, April 19: DONTRE DAY: Art Build

Join the Coalition For Justice in an art build in the space above Company Brewing on Center Street on Tuesday night from 7-10pm as we prepare materials for the second annual Dontre Day in Red Arrow Park on April 30th.

We will be preparing materials for activites that will take place in the park on Dontre Day at this art build including making justice themed coloring pages for the kids section, making signs/banners/posters, preparing stencils, cutting tshirts for patches, and collecting and organizing donated materials.

The space above Company Brewing will be open this weekend hosting different art builds with Just Seeds Collective and Voces and community members are welcome to stop in to check out what is happening and donate materials leading up to Tuesday.

Materials Needed:

-blue, white, silver spray paint
-paint sharpies for mosaic tiles (variety of colors)
-poster board
-drop canvas for banners
-handdrawn drawings for coloring pages/kids area (can be emailed/fb messaged to us for printing out)
-sawhorses for painting banners, etc.

More Info About This Years Projects:

Last year we had a collective project where people could make justice rocks and leave them at the memorial or take them home. This year we will be doing something similar with mosaic tiles for people to leave and add to the floor of the memorial – emphasizing the permanance of Dontre’s memory.

We also did stencils and t-shirts last year that people could take to wear and spread awareness in Milwaukee. This year we will be providing materials for free patches instead of t-shirts, but guests are free to bring other items or clothing if they want to to stencil their own designs.

The Coalition For Justice is also working with Pete Railand from Just Seeds Collective to make posters, banners, and signs for the march/rally for the walk from Center Street Library to Red Arrow Park on Dontre Day.

If you can donate materials please feel free to bring them by the space this weekend or Tuesday evening. The space will be open and can be accessed at the door to the very far right of the building and up the stairs.

If you have questions/ideas/input/concerns or just want more information about getting involved please feel free to message Jenna Knapp or Freesia McKee.

On International Workers Day, We say:
DETROIT AND FLINT LIVES MATTER!

Water is a human right. Fix Flint’s pipes. Refund the bills for poison water. Fully fund the costs of lead poisoning treatment. Stop shutoffs in Detroit and everywhere. Housing is a right. Stop foreclosures and evictions. Cancel the tax foreclosures. Education is a right. Solidarity with DPS teachers. No charter schools. Fire Judge Rhodes. Restore authority to the current elected school board in exile. Use Helping Hardest Hit funds to keep families in their homes, not tear homes down. No more Emergency Managers!

NO TO RACISM! Stop the raids and deportations!

No to immigrant-bashing, Islamophia, sexism, anti-LGBTQ bigotry and oppression everywhere. Shut down fascist Trump campaign. Stop police violence. Justice for Terrance Kellum, Tamir Rice, Michael Brown, Aiyana Jones, Sandra Bland, and over 1000 more killed by racist police.

Make the banks, the government, and the auto bosses pay for the crisis they created!

Cancel Flint’s and Detroit’s debt. Restore city retiree pensions and health care benefits that were stolen. Make GM give $4 billion to Flint. State and federal aid to Flint and all hard-hit Michigan cities. Release budget surplus and rainy day funds. Money for people, not for war.

Justice for workers here and around the world.

Stop union-busting attacks. $15-an-hour minimum wage with a union.

System change, not climate change.

Capitalism is the problem! People before profits!

SUPPORT THE BALTIMORE APRIL 16 MARCH AGAINST RACISM, BIGOTRY, CAPITALISM AND POLICE TERROR

Issued by the Office of the Chairperson

ILPS statement on Baltimore March from Jose Maria Sison

International League of Peoples’ Struggle

April 14, 2016

The International League of People’s Struggle stands in solidarity with those marching in Baltimore on April 16 against racism and terror by police.

It has been a year since Freddie Gray was tortured savagely to death by a gang of Baltimore police officers. It has been a year since the youth of Baltimore rose in heroic and justified rebellion. Still the family of Freddie Gray and the people of Baltimore have not received justice.

His killers in blue still walk the streets as free men. Legions of armed cops still roam the city,  predators who hate the communities they occupy and only want to fill their arrest quota. These goons represent the same ruling class and state that deny the people of Baltimore and other oppressed communities across the United States the right to employment, decent housing, health care, schools and even clean drinking water.

The youth of Baltimore were justified when they rose up and fought for their freedom. They called the attention of the world to the daily violence that Black people in particular suffer at the hands of the state-deployed predators in blue, not only in Baltimore but also in cities and towns across the United States. They have made the names of Freddie Gray, Sandra Bland, Tamir Rice, Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Ramarley Graham, Akai Gurley and so many other victims of the US military-police state known around the globe. The fight for freedom in Baltimore is one with the global freedom struggle raging from the Philippines to Palestine to East Ukraine to South America.

The International League of People’s Struggle, with member organizations in 43 countries and territories,  supports the April 15 March Against Racism, Bigotry, Capitalism and Police Terror called by the People’s Power Assembly. We join  you in saying Black lives matter, that the killer cops must go to prison and the racist police force be disarmed and disbanded. End police rule in Baltimore and across the United States. Youth have a right to jobs and education not cops and jails. ###

Vanessa Fluker, people’s lawyer in Detroit and number one anti-bank and anti-foreclosure fighter, has been and continues to be extremely ill. She was hospitalized at Harper Hospital on February 10 for a severe strain of pneumonia. After a 6 hour surgery in which 1/3 of her lung was removed and her ribs were broken to allow for a tube to be inserted for fluid drainage, Vanessa seemed to be recovering, and went to the Rehabilitation Institute and even home for a few days, the infection resurfaced. Vanessa was readmitted to Harper Hospital, two more drainage tubes were inserted, and Vanessa remains in the hospital to this day.

Vanessa’s practice is virtually pro bono under normal circumstances because she represents many seniors on fixed incomes and poor people facing the loss of their homes. With Vanessa unable to work for over two months already, she now is the one in need of support so she can pay her own mortgage and bills, not the least of which are co-pays and deductibles associated with her medical treatment.

Please contribute what you can to help this fighter for the people survive these trying times.
