At the Solidarity Conference, Havana, Cuba
“…And just as we have absolute confidence in the capacity of our people, in our people’s spirit of struggle and sacrifice, to keep moving forward in the battles we have ahead of us, we have confidence in the support, solidarity, and fighting spirit of all of you to continue fighting alongside us.
Many thanks, brothers and sisters…”
Where: Student Union of UW-Milwaukee, Room 191. Building is located at 2200 E. Kenwood Blvd, Milwaukee, WI, 53212.
What:
This is a two day course on building power in your workplace from the bottom up. It focuses on techniques for building a committee of workers who are confident and capable of addressing issues in the workplace, and for overcoming obstacles like worker apathy, anxiety, and the bosses’ counter-organizing efforts. Trainers from Minneapolis will be coming in for an intensive exploration of direct action, labor law, workplace mapping and building organizational skills.
Registration is required for the event, so please take a moment to register, and let us know about dietary or childcare needs, at:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/14mTTu-8wtSQf5u5Ug01XumcpObNW_m_w-6_MNFS9HPI/viewform?usp=send_form
There will be a $10-$25 sliding scale registration fee to cover food and materials. However, no one will be turned away due to an inability to pay.
You do not have to be a member of the IWW to attend. The skills built in this workshop will be useful to anyone interested in building power on their job, whether it is in the context of an IWW campaign, an independent union, the mainstream labor movement or another formation. If you can, bring your co-workers to make the process of organizing faster.
——————————————————————————-
The IWW is a member-run union for all workers, a union dedicated to organizing on the job, in our industries and in our communities. IWW members are organizing to win better conditions today and build a world with economic democracy tomorrow. We want our workplaces run for the benefit of workers and communities rather than for a handful of bosses and executives.
We are the Industrial Workers of the World because we organize industrially.
This means we organize all workers producing the same goods or providing the same services into one union, rather than dividing workers by skill or trade, so we can pool our strength to win our demands together. Since the IWW was founded in 1905, we have made significant contributions to the labor struggles around the world and have a proud tradition of organizing across gender, ethnic and racial lines – a tradition begun long before such organizing was popular.
We invite you to become a member whether or not the IWW happens to have representation rights in your workplace. We organize the worker, not the job, and recognize that unions are not about government certification or employer recognition but about workers coming together to address common concerns.
Sometimes this means refusing to work with dangerous equipment and chemicals.
Sometimes it means striking or signing a contract. Other times it mean agitating around particular issues or grievances in a workplace or industry.
“…The McKinney police thug has been suspended from duty but there should be a national push for prosecution. As with police beatings and murders of men of color, there is no special dispensation for black women victims of state violence, no “weaker sex” clause that mitigates the brutalization of black women’s bodies as hypersexualized policed space. For black girls in the hallowed idyllic spaces that enshrine the privileges of white youth, summer is always over.”

“…In recent years attacks against African immigrants from Sudan, Eritrea and Ethiopia have gotten international media attention. Netanyahu recently met with an African IDF soldier who was attacked by police for racist reasons. Yet what Netanyahu and his cohorts do not mention is that his political coalition has deliberately exploited racist attitudes and social policies towards Palestinians and Africans in order to maintain control over a settler state that is losing support even within the U.S., and of course throughout the broader international community.
Both the U.S. and Israel are facing growing opposition internally and globally. These racist and national oppressive states can only rely on military might and the economic dominance of the imperialism to provide any semblance of a secured future.
Greater solidarity between Palestine and African Americans will be an important factor in the burgeoning struggle against imperialism. Whether the White House, Congress and Wall Street recognizes or accepts this shifting situation it is evitable and will change the course of history in support of the oppressed and working people of the world.”
