Defend The Right To Strike!
An Injury To One Is An Injury To All!
Repeal The Anti-labor Railway Labor Act
US railroad workers are continuing to mostly vote against a proposed contract that does nothing to
defend their health and safety condition on he job with long dangerous hours.
Using the Railway Labor Act as a union busting tool which it is, workers are being told they really don’t have the right to strike and have to accept a contract that destroys workers lives and conditions.
Working people and unions need to rally to defend railroad workers and all other unions and working people who are under attack from striking NUHW Healthcare workers, OEA OUSD teachers, UTR WCCSD teachers and all public workers.
We also need to defend Amazon, Starbucks and all worker who are fighting to get organized and have a union. They face union busting billionaires that flagrantly violate weak US labor laws that are not even enforced by Biden & his “union” Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh.
We have to fight the closures of public schools and privatization of public services,
privatization of the Port of Oakland and defend all public services and fight systemic racism.
With 750,000 unionized workers whose contracts expire next year, we need to build a united
working class movement of all unions and working people to back each other up and fight together. Business unionism will not defend working people, our unions and worker rights.
Join us in a solidarity rally for Railroad workers and their right to strike and all
workers in this country and around the world.
Midwestern Marx comes to Northern California!
Midwestern Marx, a Marxist educational Institute originally organized in the midwestern United States, considers the working class to be at the heart of the revolutionary struggle in the US, and as such are dedicated to eliminating the divide between Socialists and the US working class. They publish the Journal of American Socialist Studies, books and articles on the struggle for socialism in the US, have a website at midwesternmarx.com, and a YouTube channel MidwesternMarx that offers video interviews, discussions on theory, political analysis, and live shows to over twenty-five thousand subscribers.
SPECIAL FORMAT WITH TWO SEPARATE 30 MINUTE PRESENTATIONS
1, The Comprehensive Crisis in the U.S.
and the Revolutionary Way Forward
In line with the tradition of Marxism-Leninism, this presentation argues that the elements constitutive of objectively revolutionary conditions are all present in the U.S.; what is missing for a successful revolutionary movement is the subjective factor. The presenter will argue that the purity fetish which predominates the outlook of modern American communism has presented a fundamental fetter for the development of the subjective factor in the American working masses; the development of a consistent dialectical materialist worldview, it will be argued, is the precondition for the advancement of the subjective conditions.
Speaker Bio:
Carlos L. Garrido is a Cuban American PhD student and instructor in philosophy at Southern Illinois University, Carbondale (with an M.A. in philosophy from the same institution). His research focuses include Marxism, Hegel, early 19th century American socialism, and socialism with Chinese characteristics. He is an editor in Midwestern Marx Institute for Marxist Theory and Political Analysis and in the Journal of American Socialist Studies. His popular writings have appeared in dozens of socialist magazines in various languages. As a political analyst with a focus on Latin America (esp. Cuba), he has appeared in dozens of radio and video interviews around the world. He also edited and introduced Marxism and the Dialectical Materialist Worldview: An Anthology of Classical Marxist Texts on Dialectical Materialism (Midwestern Marx Publishing Press, 2022).
2. The Crisis of American Healthcare Post-Covid-19.
This presentation will provide an analysis of how corporate investors used the pandemic to maximize their profits and how the U.S. left missed a chance to critique these predatory practices. An argument will be made towards a class centered analysis of American healthcare and its place in the struggle for socialism in the U.S.
Speaker Bio:
Edward Liger Smith is an American Political Scientist and specialist in anti-imperialist and socialist projects, especially Venezuela and China. He also has research interests in the role southern slavery played in the development of American and European capitalism. He is currently a graduate student, assistant, and wrestling coach at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville.

The Occupy Oakland General Assembly meets every Sunday at 4 PM at Oscar Grant Plaza amphitheater at 14th Street & Broadway near the steps of City Hall. If for some reason the amphitheater is being used otherwise and/or OGP itself is inaccessible, we will meet at Kaiser Park, right next to the statues, on 19th St. between San Pablo and Telegraph. If it is raining (as in RAINING, not just misting) at 4:00 PM we meet in the basement of the Omni Collective, 4799 Shattuck Ave., Oakland. (Note: we tend to meet at 3:00 PM during the cooler months from November to early March after Daylights Savings Time.)
On every ‘last Sunday’ we meet a little earlier at 3 PM to have a community potluck to which all are welcome.
OO General Assembly has met on a continuous basis for over six years, since October 2011! Our General Assembly is a participatory gathering of Oakland community members and beyond, where everyone who shows up is treated equally. Our Assembly and the process we have collectively cultivated strives to reach agreement while building community.
At the GA committees, caucuses, and loosely associated groups whose representatives come voluntarily report on past and future actions, with discussion. We encourage everyone participating in the Occupy Oakland GA to be part of at least one associated group, but it is by no means a requirement. If you like, just come and hear all the organizing being done! Occupy Oakland encourages political activity that is decentralized and welcomes diverse voices and actions into the movement.

After more than four decades, 14 000 days, spent far away from his family, the case of Mumia ABU-JAMAL will be heard in the Philadelphia, PA Court of Common Pleas. The same court system that had sentenced him to die by lethal injection, then to death by incarceration. The evidence that has now come to light — but was long kept in the dark by the Philadelphia District Attorney’s office — should enable his release !
Free Mumia Abu-Jamal is the cry heard around the world for 40 years. It will reverberate in Philadelphia on Oct. 19. Here in the Bay Area we are calling for freedom for Mumia. Please join us.
WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Friends of the Public Bank East Bay is a completely volunteer-run, nonprofit organizing to create and build community support for the first public bank in California’s history! If you’re committed to economic justice and interested in helping us build new financial systems by the people for the people, we look forward to having you join us!
HOW WE OPERATE:
We have five committees working together to create a Public Bank in the East Bay:
-
Advocacy builds relationships with community groups and city governments.
-
Communications assists other committees with content creation and promotion.
-
Fundraising develops our organization’s budget and raises funds for our business plan.
-
Membership brings on new members and volunteers and organizes educational events.
-
Strategy & Planning is responsible for operations and the execution of PBEB’s business plan.
Email us with your interests and we’ll help you find a way to get plugged in!
Public Bank East Bay expects to open by 2023, and will be a transformative institution that keeps our money local, allowing local governments to divest from Wall Street and reinvest its profits back into our community. Public Bank East Bay’s initial loan policies will support affordable housing development, provide support for small businesses (especially for marginalized entrepreneurs), finance the renovation and electrification of existing buildings, and help cities and counties refinance their municipal debt.
Fossil fuel companies not only pollute national and state elections, they are polluting local races as well, like the Oakland mayor’s race. Five candidates for mayor have signed a pledge opposing a coal export terminal in Oakland. But one candidate, Ignacio de la Fuente, who is on record supporting the terminal, has accepted a staggering $600,000 from the coal terminal developers.
Join 350 East Bay along with No Coal in Oakland, Youth vs. Apocalypse, the Sierra Club, West Oakland Environmental Indicators Project, Baykeeper, and more allies to expose this outrageous attempt to buy the Oakland mayor’s race. Come to the rally and press conference to oppose toxic pollution of our local election.
Speakers: Ms. Margaret Gordon, No Coal in Oakland and West Oakland Environmental Indicators Project; Igor Tregub, Sierra Club; Julia Dowell, SF Baykeeper; Georgia Wallace, Marlay’ja, Youth vs. Apocalypse; and representatives from 350 Bay Area, Communities for a Better Environment, and Service Employees International Union, Local 1021
For clean air and clean elections,
Your 350 East Bay Team
PS You’re also invited to the Climate & Public Health Summit on November 18th.
PPS Our monthly 350 East Bay meeting is happening Saturday, November 19th at 10:30am on zoom. RSVP here to join us to talk about what SF and Bay Area activists are working on now.
The London Revolution 1640-1643 refutes the attacks of revisionist historians who would write the concept of revolution out of history. A defense and restatement of the Marxist view of the English Revolution and Civil War. Chronicles England’s history through the revolution in 1641 – 1642, which toppled the feudal political system, and its aftermath. It explores how London’s growing capitalist economy fundamentally conflicted with its decaying feudal society, causing tensions and dislocations that affected all classes in the early modern period. In contrast with most other works, this book posits that the fundamental driving force of the revolution was the militant Puritan movement supported by the class of petty-bourgeois artisan craftworkers instead of the moderate gentry in the House of Commons.
Our speaker, Michael Sturza, is a life-long socialist political activist. A native New Yorker who grew up in Brooklyn, he learned about radical politics from his father who had been active in the labor movement of the 1930s. In 1966, at the age of 14, he attended his first mass anti-Vietnam War rally with other students from his high school. In college, while actively involved in working class struggles, he studied Marxism, and, in 1974, graduated cum laude from the State University of New York at Buffalo.
In the following decades, while continuing to study Marxism and the history of labor and liberation movements, he remained a labor activist with the Communications Workers of America (CWA) and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME). Sturza continues to live, study, and write in New York City. Since his retirement in 2014, he has traveled a good deal, including a nine-week trip to London, York, Edinburgh, and Dublin. Among the places he enjoyed visiting were the Cromwell Museum in Huntingdon, and the National Civil War Centre in Newark. The trip reinforced his belief in the social nature of the English Revolution. It was revisionist historians’ attempts to excise the class basis of the English Revolution and Civil War that led him to the studies detailed in his work.

Watch a 30-minute film segment followed by a panel discussion with Plague at the Golden Gate’s director and producer.
Plague at the Golden Gate is available for viewing on PBS now. The full film is available with Chinese and Spanish subtitles. You’re encouraged to see the full film before coming to this event.
More than 100 years before the COVID-19 pandemic shut down the world and set off a wave of fear and anti-Asian sentiment, an outbreak of bubonic plague in San Francisco’s Chinatown in 1900 unleashed a similar furor. It was the first time in history that civilization’s most feared disease-the infamous Black Death-made it to North America. Two doctors-vastly different in temperament, training and experience-used different methods to lead the seemingly impossible battle to contain the disease before it could engulf the country. In addition to overwhelming medical challenges, they faced unexpected opposition from business leaders, politicians and even the president of the United States. Fueling the resistance would be a potent blend of political expediency, ignorance, greed, racism and deep-rooted distrust of not only federal authority but science itself. Scapegoated as the source of the disease early on, the Chinese community fought back against unjust, discriminatory treatment. The gripping story of the desperate race against time to save San Francisco and the nation from the deadly disease, Plague at the Golden Gate is based in part on David K. Randall’s critically acclaimed book, Black Death at the Golden Gate: The Race to Save America From the Bubonic Plague.
Li-Shin Yu is a New York-based filmmaker and director of Plague at the Golden Gate for PBS’s acclaimed series American Experience. Yu co-directed The Chinese Exclusion Act also for American Experience. James Q. Chan is an Emmy-nominated producer and director based in San Francisco. Recent producing credits include Plague at the Golden Gate and Chinatown Rising.

The Biden Administration has now launched a full-blown economic war on China. The U.S. hegemon sees a rising China as its main rival and wants to stop China’s rise. For its part, China is expanding its political and economic influence worldwide. Both countries put economic growth ahead of environmental concerns. The conflict may soon come to a head over Taiwan’s future. Is this the making of a catastrophic world war? Is environmental degradation the greater danger? Please join us on November 5 for a discussion of this new cold war.

Pleading with arsonists to put out the fire they’ve ignited is what it is like to turn to the UN Security Council, OAS, and United States government to “stabilize” the crisis in Haiti.
Haiti has been under US/ UN occupation for more than 18 years, ever since the US-backed coup d’état in 2004 against the democratically elected President Jean-Bertrand Aristide. This occupation has perpetrated gross human rights abuses including rape and other forms of sexual abuse. The occupation has brought cholera to Haiti and has systematically destroyed Haiti’s institutions while increasing hunger and misery.
Courageously facing police and paramilitary attacks, the population of Haiti has taken to the streets in ever-growing numbers, demanding their basic human rights and democracy, along with an end to corruption and to the plunder of public resources. They demand an end to US/UN occupation and an end to the right-wing Haitian Tét Kale Party (PHTK) regime headed by Ariel Henry.
They are demanding a transitional government of public safety (Sali Piblik) to create a foundation for free and fair elections and a return to democratic rule. They are demanding an end to IMF-imposed austerity, soaring prices of basic necessities, and declining real wages. They are demanding that their tax money be invested in education, healthcare, sanitation, clean drinking water, and support for Haiti’s peasant farmers who have been the backbone of local food production.
Our speaker is Pierre Labossiere, a longtime activist and a leading member of the Haiti Action Committee ( action.haiti@gmail.com; website www.haitisolidarity.net) and a supporter of Haiti’s popular movement and the Haiti Emergency Relief Fund.

Because of the COVID pandemic we will be meeting virtually via Zoom on the first Monday of the month.
Meeting ID: 828 0976 4186
The Oscar Grant Committee Against Police Brutality & State Repression (OGC) is a grassroots democratic organization that was formed as a conscious united front for justice against police brutality. The OGC is involved in the struggle for police accountability and is committed to stopping police brutality.
In alliance with the International Longshore & Warehouse Union (ILWU) we organized the October 23, 2010 labor and community rally for Justice for Oscar Grant. On that day the ILWU shut down the Bay Area ports in solidarity. Our mission is to educate, organize and mobilize people against police and state repression. Sisters and brothers! The Oscar Grant Committee invites you to join us in this vital struggle.
We meet on the 1st Monday of each month
