Hosted by International Working Women’s Day Coalition

On May 1st 2017 at Union Square: We call on all women Activists & their Organizations to join The International Working Women’s May Day Contingent honoring Lucy Gonzales Parsons, one of the founders of the First May Day, 1886. Look for Parsons banner facing Broadway and E. 14th St. @ 4 p.m.

It is our revolutionary responsibility to ensure that the sisters & brothers on whose shoulders we stand aren’t forgotten. The wealthy class’s version of history makes working women, especially women of color, poor women, women with disabilities, lesbian & gender nonconforming women, homeless women, immigrant women, rural women and women survivors of domestic violence invisible.

We are lifting up our sister Lucy because she blazed paths that we continue to walk to this day.
According to Chicago police she was “more dangerous than a thousand rioters.”

***A Black- Indigenous-Mexican woman who courageously spent her whole life fighting against racist terror, capitalism & Imperialism. Supported Scottsboro Brothers, 9 Black youth falsely accused of rape in Alabama.
***Earned a living as a seamstress was an editor/ columnist of anti-imperialist publications while raising her two children.
Led the 1886 march for the 8-hour day that inspired the founding of May Day; opened her home to the International Ladies Garment Workers Union; founder of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW)
***Inspired workers to seize the means of production; relentlessly supported those unjustly arrested and executed, known as the Hay Market (8 hour/day Martyrs) including her spouse.
***Organized poor working class women’s rights to struggle against the bosses, the privilege class of wealthy women and for women’s rights to contraceptives and safe abortions.

UE Eastern Region Res on May Day 2017

“UE” is the abbreviation for United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America, a democratic national union representing some 35,000 workers in a wide variety of manufacturing, public sector and private non-profit sector jobs. UE is an independent union (not affiliated with the AFL-CIO) proud of its democratic structure and progressive policies.

Most UE members still work in factories related to the union’s traditional jurisdictions — electrical manufacturing, metalworking and plastics. UE members work as plastic injection molders, tool and die makers, sheet metal workers, truck drivers, warehouse workers, and custodians. We build locomotives, repair aircraft engines, assemble circuit boards, manufacture metal cabinets, produce industrial scales and make machine tools.

UE members are also teachers, speech pathologists and nurses; clerical workers, graduate instructors, graduate researchers, scientists, librarians, and day care workers. We maintain county roads, drive school buses, conduct research in university laboratories, counsel AIDS victims, treat waste water and engage in hundreds of other occupations. http://www.ueunion.org/

From the WI AFL-CIO:

Each and every day in this country, an average of 13 workers die on the job as a result of workplace injuries—women and men who go to work, never to return home to their families and loved ones. In 2015, more than 4,800 workers were killed on the job. But that is only a part of the deadly toll. Each year, between 50,000 and 60,000 workers die from occupational diseases caused by exposures to toxic chemicals and other health hazards. That’s a total of 150 workers dying each and every day.

Since job safety laws were passed more than four decades ago, we’ve made great progress in making workplaces safer and protecting workers on the job. This progress didn’t just happen because laws were passed. It happened because workers and their unions organized, fought and demanded action from employers and their government.

Virtually every safety and health protection on the books today is there because working men and women joined together in unions to win these protections. It is working people, through their unions, who demanded and won stronger standards to protect workers from asbestos, benzene and other hazards.

This Workers Memorial Day, honor those who never came home from work and who suffered fatal exposure to workplace chemicals and disease.
In Solidarity,

Phil Neuenfeldt, President

Stephanie Bloomingdale, Secretary-Treasurer

FLIER: WWP Joe Randi Illinois Wisconsin Tour May 2017 FLIER

Location: Jesse White Community Center, 410 W Chicago Avenue, Meeting Room 132, 6:30 – 8:30 P.M. / Free and open to the public

Join us at a public forum to discuss the origins and significance of the bloody wars raging in Syria and Yemen. Speakers will include Joe Mshahwar, a young Syrian-American activist with the Michigan Emergency Committee Against War & Injustice, and Randi Nord, a journalist who covers the Middle East for Geopolitics Alert.

Our panel will dig behind the headlines to address why the U.S. government is spending billions of our tax dollars to seek the violent overthrow of Syria’s democratically elected president, Bashar al-Assad, and the defeat of Yemen’s Popular Resistance Coalition. What was the real reason for Trump’s cruise missile attack on Syria’s Shayrat airbase? Why is the U.S. supporting Syrian offshoots of the very terrorist groups that Trump claims to oppose? Why is the U.S. arming Saudi Arabia with planes and bombs used to massacre tens of thousands in Yemen, one of the world’s poorest countries?

Our speakers will answer these questions as they expose the role of the western oil companies, big banks, and arms makers in promoting the continued bloodshed in Syria and Yemen. We also will discuss how we in the Midwest can build a movement to demand money for human needs, not for racist wars.
