http://bit.ly/2hcIqFE
14th Annual Detroit Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Rally and March on January 16, 2017
This year’s 14th Annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Rally & March comes at a time of rising hatred, bigotry and military conflict both inside the United States and around the world.
On Monday January 16, 2017, the Detroit MLK Day Rally & March will commemorate the 50th anniversary of the historic Riverside Church address in New York City entitled “Beyond Vietnam: Breaking the Silence”, where Dr. King came out firmly against military intervention in southeast Asia.
The speech was delivered on April 4, 1967, just one year prior to the Civil Rights and peace activist’s assassination in Memphis, Tennessee. Dr. King had been under pressure by the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) which had taken a firm position against the war in early January 1966. During 1967, Dr. King participated in large antiwar demonstrations in Chicago, New York City and other cities…

Super Bigot Trump Must Be Stopped: Russia Didn’t Send Him to the White House
russiadidntdoitfactsheet-12-23-16
Don’t believe the “fake news” about Russian computer hackers throwing the election to Trump. Read the facts:
► As Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr. pointed out in a Dec. 12 column: “Left out of this brouhaha is the systematic and purposeful voter suppression that certainly cost Clinton the election. The Russians didn’t do it. It was done by right-wing partisan state officials eager to suppress the vote of people of color, the young, and the working poor.” Just in Michigan, investigative reporter Greg Palast estimated that 75,000 votes weren’t counted. (Democracy Now!, Dec. 13)…

Milwaukee, Feb. 4: Milwaukee Art Build for Public Education
“We need teachers, we need books! We need the $ that Walker took!
Join us for a weekend of art in support of the fully funded public schools all our children derserve. We will be making banners, posters, and other pieces in preparation for the coming two-year Wisconsin state budget battle as we demand fair funding for Milwaukee Public School students.
Wisconsin Public Schools have seen a billion dollars cut since 2011, as well as a 2015 public takeover of MPS that was snuck into the last state budget and met fierce resistance and eventually was defeated. MPS students currently receive $1,000+ less per pupil in state funding when compared to their surrounding suburban colleagues. These massive disparities must be erased! We will make sure our state politicians hear and see us in support of fair funding for our students and with this art build we will be impossible to ignore.
Join us on Saturday or Sunday or both days to help us. We’re located in the upstairs of 735 E. Center St., which is above Company Brewing.
Tentative build schedule:
Saturday, February 4: 10am – 10pm
Sunday: February 5: 10am – 10pm

Chicago, Madison & Milwaukee #J20 Protests
CHICAGO: Resist Trump: Occupy Inauguration Chicago
Donald Trump and the reactionary core of the Republican Party are coming to power in 2017 on a platform of racism, sexism, xenophobia, and pro-corporate policies. We must build a independent, working-class mass movement that vows to use every ounce of our collective body and spirit to stand against Trump’s reactionary agenda from Day 1.
Mass protests have been an indispensable part of every progressive struggle in history, from winning the eight-hour day to smashing Jim Crow.
Mass protests can also send a warning to the new administration. We want Trump to worry that if he proceeds with his agenda against immigrants, women, Muslims, and workers rights that he will provoke even further struggle. Moreover, we want him and the entire establishment to worry that working people are gaining the confidence to take even further independent and radical action.
Join Socialist Alternative in organizing resistance in Chicago and in cities across the country on Inauguration Day January 20, 2017. This can be a shot across the bow of Trump’s right wing agenda. And most importantly, it can set in motion what we desperately need: the building of a mass movement that militantly fights racism, sexism, and xenophobia and that lays the groundwork for new, radical political institutions that will fight the right tooth and nail and for a decent world for the 99%.
MADISON: Resist Trump: Occupy Inauguration – Madison
#ResistTrump !! #OccupyInauguration !! #NotMyPresident
Donald Trump and the reactionary core of the Republican Party are coming to power in 2017 on a platform of racism, sexism, xenophobia, and pro-corporate policies. We must build a independent mass movement of the 99% that vows to use every ounce of our collective body and spirit to stand against Trump’s reactionary agenda from Day 1, in Madison and in cities across the country.
We are participating in the birth of a mass movement for social and economic justice.
Join us in the streets- again!- to demonstrate mass opposition to Trump and his agenda!
Build a movement to fight racism, sexism, and Islamophobia!
– No Border Wall! Stop the deportations of undocumented immigrants!
– Tax rich millionaires like Trump! Fund healthcare for all! Make college free!
– Black Lives Matter!
– End rape culture — #PussyGrabsBack
– Stop the Dakota Access Pipeline — Green Jobs now! — #NoDAPL
The Democratic Party has proven they are incapable of stopping Trump. It is time to build a new party for the 99% based on the united power of all exploited and oppressed people, on movements for social and economic justice, on the belief that we CAN do better than this corrupt and rotten system!

#J20: Make It Ungovernable! Protest the Presidential Inauguration in Washington DC
ALL OUT to Washington, DC, January 20 to PROTEST the Presidential InaugurationAfter the most divisive, racist, misogynist, contentious presidential campaign in modern history, Monica Moorehead for President and Lamont Lilly for Vice President urge everyone to converge in Washington, D.C., on Friday, Jan. 20 to protest the inauguration of the next president.No matter who wins the 2016 election, the people must take to the streets. This election year proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that the capitalist system cannot represent the interests of the people. It revealed that democracy under capitalism is a sham.While Trump and Clinton were fighting among themselves, often like children, Black and Brown people continued to be shot by racist police. Neither candidate ever expressed genuine support for the demands of the Black Lives Matter movement, essential in this period of police terrorism.
Clearly Donald Trump has galvanized racist, right-wing, anti-immigrant thugs. These elements have been stoked, and they will not likely crawl back into the gutter. But we cannot give up on all these workers. They have been misled by Trump, and we should struggle to win their hearts and minds.
Misogyny ultimately became a major issue this election season. At the heart of the “Trumpite” sexism against Hillary Clinton is not just hatred of women, but racism that is central to their odious ideology.
These forces are not reconciled to the historical fact that the first Black president was elected. They erroneously fear the “browning of America.” They think migrants are changing the fabric of “their” society and that they steal jobs, when in fact it is the corporations that lay off and shut factories.
The answer is solidarity and unity of all those who work and struggle for a living. Our enemy is not in the factory or the office but in the board room.
Neither Trump nor Clinton have a real program to address unemployment or underemployment. Neither will order the banks to put families back into foreclosed homes or to lower rents. Neither will unilaterally cancel the student debt. Neither will stop anti-LGBTQ laws from sweeping the country.
Trump is a dangerous buffoon. But Hillary Clinton is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Her political history is one of war and intervention. She is responsible, along with others, for the coup in Honduras and for war in Libya and Syria. She is historically aligned with the forces that dismantled welfare and led to mass incarceration.
As the economic crisis deepens, what can we expect? Under capitalism not only more of the same, but an intensification of all the ills that are byproducts of capitalism: war, racism, sexism, islamopho¬bia and the exploitation of all workers.
It is very likely that Hillary Clinton will win the election as she has proven her ability to well represent the 1%. We can be assured that in her first 100 days, there will be an escalation of war.
What’s the solution? Unity in fightback! Only our solidarity can push back the 1%! What matters is not who is in the White House, but in the streets.
We urge everyone – Black, Latinx, Native, Arab, Asian and white, women, trans people and men, young and old, queer or straight, documented or undocumented, people with disabilities, in a union or not, of every faith and belief from around the country – to converge in Washington on Friday, Jan. 20.
Join tens of thousands to present a people’s agenda!
