Join us and Occupy the Court!
Downtown Courthouse on Temple St
Los Angeles, CA
Monday, November 14th  – 8:00 AM
13th Floor, Department 123

After a hugely successful conference on November 5 in Chicago, 150 activists and organizers committed to organizing solidarity with Carlos Montes. So across the country, activists and defenders of human rights are mobilizing to support Carlos Montes as he appears for a Preliminary Hearing at the LA County Superior Courthouse Dept. on Monday.

On May 17, under the direction of the FBI, LA Sheriffs brandishing automatic weapons broke down Montes’ door at 5:00am and ransacked his home, seizing meeting notes and writings covering over 40 years of activism in the Chicano, immigrant rights, labor and anti-war movements. Carlos Montes is charged with 6 felony counts for weapons possession, threatening 18 years in prison – essentially a life sentence.Carlos Montes is directly connected to the Midwest 23 through working to organize the mass protest at the 2008 Republican National Convention. Montes’ name appeared on the FBI search warrant for the Anti-War Committee office in Minneapolis one year ago on September 24 during the raids. While under arrest, the FBI attempted to question Carlos about his political activism and the Freedom Road Socialist Organization. We demand all charges be dropped and the political repression end now.

Please take the following steps to the support Carlos Montes and the 23 Midwest activists facing FBI repression:

• Sign the national petition supporting Carlos Montes
• Sign the Pledge to Resist FBI and Grand Jury Repression
• Join a local support committee of the CSFR or organize one in your town
• Donate to the legal defense fund

The National Network on Cuba stands in solidarity with those who are fighting against economic injustice and corporate greed in the Occupy Wall Street Movement. Cuba has shown that meeting basic needs for all is possible; that universal free education and healthcare are rights not privileges. The US government has targeted Cuba because they have chosen a different path, and for the last 13 years has imprisoned FIVE innocent Cuban men who were defending Cuba against terrorism planned from US soil. The 99% is a global movement for justice for all. A better world is possible; a better world is necessary!

Statement of Ohio AFL-CIO President Tim Burga on Defeat of Issue 2, Victory for Ohio Workers: http://www.ohaflcio.org/issue2statement.html

——————–

A message from the WI AFL-CIO:

Brothers and Sisters,

Today Ohio working families occupied the polls, voted NO on Issue 2 and repealed Senate Bill 5. Senate Bill 5 was a massive attack on the middle class and would have stripped public employees of their right to collectively bargain.

Unlike Ohio, Wisconsin workers do not have the opportunity to put a referendum on the ballot. Thankfully, we have the right to recall. Today’s win in Ohio has energized and excited Wisconsin workers to recall Gov. Walker and put a stop to his attack on working families.

Tonight’s vote in Ohio sends a clear message to politicians across America that the public firmly believes that a worker’s right to a union is a fundamental underpinning of the middle class.  Mark your calendars for this Tuesday, November 15 when the people of Wisconsin will begin collecting signatures to recall Gov. Walker.

In Solidarity,

Phil Neuenfeldt, President

Stephanie Bloomingdale, Secretary-Treasurer
