September 10: Rally Against Prison Slavery

“The walls of Jericho WILL FALL”

Prisoners have called for a national workstoppage and protest to begin on the 45th anniversary of the Attica Uprising.

In Wisconsin, prisoners started a protest against solitary confinement called Dying to Live in June, which has continued until this day.

We will protest the use of solitary confinement, protest prison slavery, and protest white supremacy in solidarity with both the Dying to Live hunger strikers, and prison rebels everywhere.

More details TBA soon!

Community Call to Action: Public Safety Committee Meeting

UBLAC Milwaukee

This Thursday at 9 a.m. is the Common Council’s Public Safety Committee Meeting at City Hall.

Last week Thursday our presence was not taken lightly and we were GIVEN the floor to share our concerns being a group of MANY voices. but not ALL the voices in our city. With that being said there are two things we need to listen to details and conversations around particularly that listed on the agenda tomorrow:

Communication from the Milwaukee Police Department Office of Community Outreach & Education relative to the department’s outreach programs to engage and build trust in the community as well as the department’s ability to host Community Listening Circles to improve community police relations.

Communication from the Frank Zeidler Center for Public Discussion relating to the outcome and results of previously-hosted police/community listening circles.

Come with pens and paper and your listening ears as we listen to what these “communications” will reveal. Let’s ALSO be ready to respond! We’ll bring our signs as well! UBLAC Milwaukee

Poor and working people in Wisconsin will have a choice in November to vote for socialist Presidential candidate Monica Moorehead and her Vice Presidential running mate Lamont Lilly of Workers World Party. The candidates were certified to be on the ballot by the Wisconsin Elections Commission as of Aug. 25.

Neither Donald Trump nor Hillary Clinton represent the people — both candidates and their parties are pro-war, anti-immigrant, anti-Black, anti-lesbian-gay-bisexual-transgender-queer, anti-woman and anti-worker.

What a refreshing and much-needed contrast to have Moorehead as a choice, the only Black revolutionary socialist woman running for president. The candidate will be visiting the Midwest in September, making stops in Michigan, Illinois and Wisconsin.

Moorehead and Lilly’s campaign is in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement; defends the Milwaukee Rebellion against cops murdering Black and Brown people; supports unions, other workers’ organizations, the LGBTQ community and women’s liberation; and fights for a socialist system that puts people before profits and nurtures the environment.

There is a climate in Wisconsin of unrelenting racist austerity created by Wall Street forces and their political servants, such as Gov. Scott Walker and Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett. Many gains that working-class and oppressed peoples won over the past 100 years have been eviscerated.

It was in this climate that members and friends of Workers World Party conducted a signature-gathering blitz from June 30 to July 10 in Milwaukee, Madison and other areas of the state.

Activists gathered over 3,700 signatures in working-class and oppressed communities, where they received warm responses to the Moorehead-Lilly 10-point program. Two thousand valid signatures are required to obtain ballot status for presidential candidates in Wisconsin. During the blitz, WWP members and others from organizations such as the Wisconsin Bail Out the People Movement, also supported a community conversation event where Lilly spoke; a protest at the right-wing Bradley Foundation; and a Red, Black and Queer slideshow at the LGBTQ community center.

The WWP candidates are also on the ballot in Utah and New Jersey.

WWP members and friends are now organizing for a Midwest tour by Moorehead that will include stops in Detroit and other Michigan cities, Sept. 8-13; Chicago, Sept. 15; Milwaukee. Sept. 16; and Madison, Sept. 17. All events are free and open to the public.

DETROIT: Saturday, Sept. 10, 5-8 p.m., candidate’s forum at 5920 Second Ave. http://bit.ly/2bR4dWH

CHICAGO: Visit facebook.com/ChicagoWWP.

MILWAUKEE: Friday, Sept. 16, 6:30-8:30 p.m. at the African American Women’s Center (formerly Carpenters’ union hall), 3020 W. Vliet St. http://bit.ly/2bWjUqs

MADISON: Saturday, Sept. 17, 1-3 p.m. at the Villager Mall, Room A, 2312 S. Park St. http://bit.ly/2c7LioO

The administration of Long Island University is marking Labor Day with an unprecedented lockout of full- and part-time faculty at its Brooklyn campus who have been engaged in a hard fight for a fair contract since spring.

LIU’s administration has told the hundreds of members of the Long Island University Faculty Federation (NYSUT/AFT) that they are barred from the university’s campus as of 12:01 a.m. this morning. Their pay is being stopped. And yesterday afternoon, they received notice that their health insurance will also be cut off this morning—with less than a day’s notice.

Tell LIU’s administration to end the lockout and bargain with our members now.

In labor history, lockouts are also known as “employer strikes.” LIU has chosen the weekend when Americans reflect on the importance of the labor movement to strike against LIU’s faculty—and against the 8,170 students on LIU’s Brooklyn campus. LIU plans to redeploy administrators and hired strikebreakers to teach these students when classes begin this week.

Tell LIU’s administration to let its faculty return to work, restore their pay and benefits, and settle a fair contract now.

In unity,
Jessica Rosenberg
LIUFF President
