“From the folks who brought you the West Coast Port Shutdown.”
The OO Labor Solidarity Committee meets weekly, with every other meeting being held at Oscar Grant Plaza weather permitting. This week’s meeting will take place at the SEIU 1021 Hall at 155 Myrtle St in West Oakland.
BUT SEE THIS EVENT, WHICH IS TAKING PLACE BEFOREHAND. ALSO, THE OOLSC MEETING TIME HAS BEEN PUSHED BACK TO 6:30 PM TO ACCOMODATE THIS ACTION.
Depending on how things develop at the event, we will either meet at the SEIU Hall, or decide to go somewhere else.
Topics include coordination with labor groups (union and non-union) around the Bay Area and nationally. This meeting may include discussion about the OOLSC’s next actions, The SEIU event that will have just taken place, the UNITE HERE organizing effort at the Oakland Airport, developments in support of the South African Miners, the Chicago teachers, and possibly other topics.
Again, See this event, and please plan to attend, even if you come late. Or try to stay in touch with someone who is attending as to exactly when and where the OOLSC meeting will happen and/or what is going on.
There will be free food at the SEIU action!
We meet biweekly. We have multiple events we are planning for, including a BBQ in East Oakland on Sept. 15th, speaking at the next City Council meeting on Sept. 18th, and a speakout against police violence at the Eastmont Mall late in September, on Sept. 29th at 5:00 PM. Come help us out!
Please visit the Justice 4 Alan Blueford website.
Help plan events for October 10th. First meeting will take place at Oscar Grant Plaza in the amphitheatre, at 6:00 PM, on Monday, September 10th.
“From the folks who brought you the West Coast Port Shutdown.”
The OO Labor Solidarity Committee meets weekly, with every other meeting being held at Oscar Grant Plaza weather permitting. This week’s meeting will tentatively take place at UNITE HERE, 2nd floor, 1440 Broadway, Oakland.
PLEASE CHECK BACK AS THE PLACE MAY WELL CHANGE!!
The main topic for this meeting will be discussion of and preparation for an Oakland Port Workers’ rank-and-file Assembly. Non-unionized airport workers (the Port of Oakland runs the Oakland Airport) have been targeted for union-organizing activity while UNITE HERE is trying to organize them. SEIU Port workers have no contract currently and the Longshorman’s contract with the Port of Oakland (and contracts up and down the West Coast) are due to expire soon. Couple that with deep labor unrest at various ports up and down the East Coast, and there seems to be a lot of possibility to work together and show solidarity.
Other topics may include the Chicago Teachers’ strike, recent events in South Africa and Alan Blueford Coalition organizing.
Grand Jury Resistors Head Into Court, Expect Jail
From Portland comrades: Supporters will be gathering today in front of the Federal Court House in Portland, Oregon, and Seattle, Washington to express opposition to the secret grand jury investigating the anarchist movement, and to show their support for those refusing to testify.
This will be the third time Leah-Lynne Plante has been called before the grand jury. Each time, she has publicly refused to cooperate. She is expected to be imprisoned after today’s hearing.
“So far as I can see, the authorities are just using these hearings to intimidate people, create suspicion, and collect information that they can use to disrupt political movements,” said Leah-Lynne Plante, of Portland. “It isn’t working. None of the subpoenaed activists have testified, and the support we’ve received from the broader community has been really overwhelming.”
For more information from the Portland folks, check out nopoliticalrepression.wordpress.com or email the Committee Against Political Repression at nopoliticalrepression@gmail.com
On May 6th, Alan Blueford was murdered by OPD officer Miguel Masso. On May 15th, members of the City Council promised the Blueford family support for their struggle for justice. Since then, the family has received nothing but stonewalling and lies from the City of Oakland and OPD.
Join us at a BBQ and Community Meeting to take action against this injustice, and to fight to prevent further such tragic events.
