Non-union fast food workers at the Oakland Airport have been calling for justice on the job for over nine months. The Port of Oakland found that two worker leaders were FIRED in retaliation for speaking out – and that Jamba Juice and Subway weren’t following the Port living wage law.
We told the Port Commission last Thursday that this injustice cannot stand at the Oakland Airport. Next Wednesday we will raise our voices so that everyone in the airport knows how unfair Subway and Jamba Juice are.
We will also be joined by a special delegation of union activists from Tunisia and Morocco! You’ll definitely want to hear stories of their struggle and how we can work together for international solidarity.
In solidarity,
UNITE HERE! Local 2850
Join Reverend Billy and the Choir of Stop Shopping for their performance of “Extinction Revolution”, the latest from the singing radicals.
In the new song “Extinction Revolution” the choir, led by Musical Director Nehemiah Luckett, rejoices that the climate-changed killed Golden Toad returns from the dead to haunt Jamie Dimon’s dreams and regulate Wall Street.
Special guests, Chalkupy. Facebook Event: RSVP
Earlier this month, a call to action* was made for a week of solidarity with the PNW Grand Jury resistors. This week is the week leading up to May Day, the day the FBI is using as an excuse to engage in their anarchist witch hunt.
So Friday, April 26th we are calling for a rowdy noise demonstration/street party in solidarity with those facing repression from the Seattle grand jury (and everywhere else, too!) Repression will not keep us down!
Bring noisemakers of all sorts, from fireworks to casseroles. Contact us if you have a mobile sound system you’d be willing to bring to the demo at bayarearac [at] tormail.org

Hey, you’re People. So come celebrate YOUR park in Berkeley! People’s Park 44th Anniversary!
What does it take to get millions into the streets? Last time, we began to discuss “unifiers” – What is the commonality uniting and mobilizing the movement? Ideas from “reclaiming our democracy” to “compassion and love for our brothers and sisters” to “fighting for the planet” and more are on the table as we consider the mandate to organize at this crucial time.
“We demand that BPD allow the release of the Coroner’s report and the police report of what happened that night.”
“The city leadership has allowed the police to function without accountability…”
Rally at 6:00 PM and speak out at 7:00 PM.
March with us in SF on May Day. We will assemble at 24th and Mission at 2:45 and march to Civic Center. We will be carrying banners that say
Healthcare is a Human Right
Support HR 676
Medicare for All
Last year Burger King made $117,000,000 in profits. Walgreens made $253,000,000.
Downtown Oakland workers deserve a raise!
Hundreds of fast food workers in NYC recently participated in a strike to demand $15/hr. It is time to bring the Fight for Fifteen campaign to Oakland.
With the cost of rent driven up by gentrification, plus childcare, healthcare and other bills, $8/hour is not enough to survive in Oakland. Mayor Jean Quan says Oakland is “rising” but the lowest paid workers, who are more likely to be people of color and women, are left behind.
$15/hr livable wage for all Oakland workers!
Rally, march and noise demo throughout downtown Oakland, exposing the practices of corporations who thrive off of low wage labor.
Town Hall on Drones: Informing Policy in Berkeley.
Racism and oppression are alive and well in the US. From the attempts of politicians to rob African-Americans of the right to vote in the latest elections, the millions trapped in the prison system, to the epidemic of police murders that have claimed the lives of Sean Bell, Oscar Grant, and Alan Blueford, the New Jim Crow is out of control.
In celebration of what would have been his 88th birthday, the International Socialist Organization will hold a discussion about the revolutionary ideas of Malcolm X. As revolt and struggles of the oppressed grow all around the globe, activists can learn many lessons from Malcolm X’s ideas and struggles. From his legacy of struggle against racism, firm belief in the right of the oppressed to defend themselves, to his internationalism, Malcolm X still has much to offer a new generation of activists.
TELL JEAN QUAN:
OAKLAND IS NOT ARIZONA!
OUR DEMANDS:
Full citizenship rights for all people who live here, go to school here, work here, and otherwise contribute to this society. Latina/o, black, Asian, Arab, Native American, white, immigrants with and without papers—we are ALL Americans.
Open the borders—give people the same rights that NAFTA provides to the corporations for unrestricted passage across borders.
No more deportations.
Make all young people brought by their parents full citizens now.
No fines for the millions of people without papers who are here now.
Stop long probationary periods for people to gain citizenship. Create a quick and cheap pathway to citizenship for all undocumented people.
Pass the Federal DREAM Act Now!
12PM: March from 98th Ave. + International (Oakland)
2PM: Rally & Celebration at 34th Ave. + International (near Fruitvale BART)

It’s not just the post office
that’s being privatized.
Our schools, our public spaces,
parks and services are all at risk.
Join Us!
Help save our public commons!
Come to the rally!
The USPS wants to sell Berkeley’s historic main post office. Citizens to Save the Berkeley Post Office is a grassroots group that has come together to block the sale of our heritage, stop service cut backs, and preserve living wage postal jobs.
Our fight is not unique. Thousands of post office closures across the country mean the largest private auction of public history our nation has ever seen.
Join the movement and spread the word. Our post office is not for sale.
