Students and workers filled the UW-Milwaukee Student Union Feb. 4 to voice their outrage and to demand an end to plans for more austerity cuts (union-busting, stealing of state worker’s pensions etc.) and the possible gutting of shared governance by the right-wing legislature and Gov. Scott Walker.

PSC is hosting another Palestine Solidarity Social!

With so many in the Milwaukee area working on various Palestine related efforts, we hope to come together for a night of food and conversation. Let’s share ideas and strengthen our movement!

At 7pm Rasmea Odeh will make a skype appearance to update us on her legal battle. She is currently awaiting sentencing in March, and there will be upcoming actions to defend her from the politically motivated witch hunt.

More details coming soon.

NATIONAL WEEK OF ACTION TO DEFEND RASMEA: http://tinyurl.com/nmo69p9

The campaign to defend long-time Palestinian American leader Rasmea Odeh has reached a critical stage. We urge everyone to join us in organizing an event or protest on your campus or in the community during the week of Feb. 9 – 15.

All of us need to shine a light on the real injustice that is taking place in Detroit. Rasmea, a Palestinian American woman who has done so much for so many, is facing deportation and up to ten years in jail on a trumped-up immigration charge.

We need to go all out in focusing attention on her case before her March 12 sentencing. After the sentencing, it is anticipated that the appeals process will start. This fight will not be over until we have justice.

Rasmea has made great contributions to the community and the cause of Palestinian freedom. We need to stand with her.

Please share your actions plans with us by emailing info@stopfbi.net

What: We demand that Madison, WI builds the people not the jail. Madison is statistically the worst city, in the worst county, to live if you are a black person. Join us and come demand that our voices are heard, that whoever is to be our next Mayor doesn’t just show “support” for Madison’s Black community, but helps us make a difference. Our elected representatives must be held accountable for any policies that contribute to state violence against Black communities. We must make sure we have a mayor that will initiate black positive policies that build our communities.

There is power in numbers.

Will you stand with us?

This is an emergency meeting open to ALL interested members of the campus community (and beyond) to 1) discuss the proposed $300 million cut to the UW and the quasi-privatization of the UW system and 2) figure out a way we can most effectively defend our university and ourselves from the attack.

The cut will predictably lead to layoffs, wage stagnation and decline, reductions in student services, and the degradation of educational quality. The new structural changes threaten the integrity of shared governance, reduce student and faculty control, open the doors to runaway tuition increases, and otherwise increase managerial authority to the detriment of workers and students on campus. This is what the Administration has been working for in some form or another since 2011 with the failed New Badger Partnership and then the Human Resources Design Project, both of which we opposed.

The only option is to organize and fight. Join us on Wednesday!

Held in Humanities 2650
