Women’s Equality Day Nationwide Days of Action:
Friday Aug 23 to Monday 26
Party for Socialism and Liberation - PSL
https://www.pslweb.org/wed 
https://facebook.com/pg/pslweb/events/
https://www.pslweb.org/calendar

August 26 is Women's Equality Day, the anniversary of the date that women won the right to vote with the passage of the 19th amendment. This year, join the Party for Socialism and Liberation for Women Equality Day mobilizations across the country between Friday, August 23 and Monday, August 26.

We know that an organized women’s movement is the only way we can win back our rights, and fight back against the brutal nature of patriarchy and capitalism.

It was an organized movement that won women's right to vote, just as it was a militant, organized women’s movement that won the Roe v. Wade decision 50 years later.

As the campaign against access to abortion has shifted to an outright campaign to overturn Roe v. Wade. We must keep the history of the militant legacy of the women's movement at the core of our struggle today!

In Defense of the Amazon and the indigenous peoples, plants and animals leaving within - for the sake of our global future - we will gather at 1:00PM at Bryant Park (inside the park, near the 6th Ave entrance)

We will march together at 2PM! (more details on the route soon)

The Amazon Rainforest, the largest in the world, is BURNING!   Literally hundreds of acres of forest are disappearing rapidly.

And this is due to the opening of the gates of hatred caused by Jair Bolsonaro, President of Brazil, an extreme-right wing climate change denier.
Big farmers, and agribusiness , are setting fire to large swaths of Brazil that include the Amazon, the Pantanal (or swamp region) of Mato Grosso, a very rich and biodiverse region, and portions of other regions, to clear for cattle raising and soybean planting. They are also burning down entire indigenous villages and killing indigenous peoples. Their president (not ours!) incited violence and opened up the land for exploitation.

Bolsonaro's government has also made clear they will lift sanctions for illegal mining, which is killing indigenous groups by poisoning their water with mercury, bringing diseases, and assassinating indigenous leaders further North.
Deforestation is happening four times faster than last year

As shown in the news, people are having breathing problems as far as in the States in Minas Gerais and São Paulo, due to the smoke and particles traveling through all the way to the southeast region.
The government tried to dismiss saying there were storm clouds but this is dry season in the region. The day turned into night on Monday at 3PM with ashes and smoke, and there was no denying it.

PLEASE JOIN US - this will be the beginning of a series of actions that will continue in September against Bolsonaro and for the Climate, around the U.N. Climate Summit and we need you there, holding signs, chanting, distributing flyers.

#savetheAmazon #stopFascism #cancelBolsonaro

/ / / / / What is Anakbayan? \ \ \ \ \

In English, Anakbayan translates to “children of the nation.” Anakbayan is a comprehensive National Democratic mass organization and we aim to build unity among Filipino youth of all backgrounds — young workers, students, peasants/farmers, professionals, women, migrants, Filipino-Americans, etc. — to stand for the basic rights and welfare of Filipinos at home and abroad.

/ / / / / What's the ND Summer School? \ \ \ \ \

ABNY is hosting a series of Educational Discussions (EDs), teaching about and applying the National Democratic line. The Summer School is open to anyone wanting to learn more about the ND Movement (both in the Philippines and the U.S.) and ABNY's local work. Solidarity allies are welcomed to come and share and connect their organization's movements with the ND Movement.

 . Protest Aquarium Captivity at Noon    
 . Beach Cleaning 2:30 PM   
 . Beach [or conceivably Boardwalk] socializing  4:30 PM  (Consider requesting location, end time & description.)  

Join Brooklyn-Queens Animal Save and Long Island Orchestrating for Nature - LION on this day to protest sea animals in captivity at the New York Aquarium.  In addition, Brooklyn-Queens Animal Save and BEACH CLEANUP NYC will take over Coney Island! We will start with a protest at the New York Aquarium (the only aquarium in NYC) at 12:00 pm, followed by a beach cleanup at 2:30 pm. Coney Island is one many iconic symbols of New York City; therefore, in anticipation of many outside visitors during this weekend we are inviting everyone to join Brooklyn-Queens Animal Save and BEACH CLEANUP NYC for a protest and a beach cleanup followed by a fun evening. For a true NYC experience, take a dip in the water, hang out in the beach.  Afterwards, for anyone who is hungry, there's a restaurant nearby, Kitchen 21 offering a few vegan options. After a long weekend of vigils, protests, and beach cleanup, we invite everyone to a fun night at Coney Island's amusement park on its famous boardwalk, where you'll also have the chance to ride the historic Wonder Wheel now a landmark featured in movies like The Warriors (which is who we hope to be for the animals and the planet).
This will be a work and play day!

Rep. Max Rose- D (Brooklyn-Staten Island) continues to put his re-election concerns before his constitutional duty and thus far refuses to publicly support opening an impeachment inquiry. Join us on Monday Aug 26 at 4:30 at Rose's Brooklyn office to help him see the light and put "Patriotism over Politics" and publicly support an Impeachment Inquiry! People didn't knock doors, canvass, donate and flip CD-11 Blue to elect a rep. that enables Trump!

NY-NJ Cuba Si <nynjcubasi@gmail.com> wrote:]
    Dear Cuba Si Supporters and Opponents of the US Blockade/Embargo of Cuba,

    You are invited to a special meeting organized by the
New York-New Jersey Cuba Si Coalition on
Wednesday, August 28 from  6:30 - 8:30 pm, at the
Cuban Mission to the United Nations,
315 Lexington Avenue, between [East] 38th and  [East] 39th Streets, in Manhattan.
[ nr. #7, 4, 5, 6, S, (B), D, F, (M), N, Q, R, (W) PATH stops &
cross town buses via 42nd or 34th
https://osm.org/go/Zct9MD4n?node=2714704323
https://goo.gl/maps/dm4P2mKmDxBE5Qqn8 ]

    If you are interested and able to attend this meeting you
 == > MUST RSVP by replying to this invitation.

    The purpose of the meeting will be:

    1) To get an update from the Cuban Mission and for us to politically assess the current period, with the escalation by the Trump White House of anti-Cuban and anti-Venezuelan blockading measures following the failure and debacle of the bipartisan US attempted military coup in Venezuela. These include the ending of Title III waivers under the Helms-Burton blockade law which must be repealed; the halting of cruise ships stopping in Cuba; and the ending of the “people-to-people”  travel category. There is also the drumbeat of bombast and threats, including threatening to seize Venezuelan oil shipments to Cuba on the open seas.

    2) To propose for discussion and support
    a package and series of activities starting this Fall and culminating in the 2nd National Conference for the Normalization of US-Cuba Relations in March 2020 in New York. This includes: the late-September visit of a “high-level” Cuban delegation to the opening of the UN General Assembly; the National Network on Cuba meeting in DC October 18-20; the Havana anti-imperialist Conference November 1-3 which US and NY-NJ area solidarity activists will be attending; the November 6  UN anti-blockade vote and local, national, and international protests; and the March 2020 National Cuba Conference in New York which will be publicly launched nationally around Labor Day at the beginning of September and which NY- NJ Cuba Si will have major political and organizational responsibilities.

    There will also be a proposal to set up a Cuba Si committee to bring forward and pass an anti-blockade Resolution in the NY City Council, as has been done in Detroit, Hartford, and other cities and solidarity forces in Chicago are also organizing to do do. Perhaps we can do the same in Newark and other cities in our area.

    So let’s prepare for an intense period of struggle against the blockade in the coming months into 2020!

**Please join us for Japan Dolphins Day 2019 as we enlighten the public about the dolphin drive hunts in Taiji, Japan.....and of the direct link to captivity that these hunts have.
We will honor the dolphins who have been killed, and those that will be killed, in the annual slaughter that takes place from Sept. to March.....we honor, as well, all the dolphins that are held captive around the world.
We believe that one dolphin's life taken, either by slaughter or loss of freedom, is one life too many.**

As most of you know, the capture and slaughter of dolphins takes place in the infamous cove in Taiji, Japan, every year beginning September 1st., continuing until March.

We must let the Japanese government know that these crimes against nature are unacceptable to the rest of the world. We must speak out loudly against this atrocity while educating others who may not be aware of the dolphin captures, and killings, in Taiji.

Join us for a celebratory Critical Mass Group Bike Ride to support and create safer streets for pedestrians and bicyclists. Critical Mass meets the last Friday of every month in over 200 cities around the world. NYC's Critical Mass and group bike rides increased bike riding and created the sustainable, safe infrastructure that now exists in NYC. From 2000-2006 critical mass had thousands of riders who regularly headed to Times Square and performed a bike lift to demand an auto-free Times Square and a new DOT commissioner. Once we got the new pedestrian and bike-friendly commissioner, Janette Sadik-Khan, safer infrastructure began to be placed on the streets- bike lanes, auto-free plazas, greenways, and bridge access to name a few. However, the journey was a difficult one.

Let's not forget how positive direct-action changed the whole city. Please support the safety of pedestrians and the bike community by joining the

Greetings, Comrades, Progressive Minded Individuals and Friends;

  ==  >  The Black Panther Party Commemoration Committee (NY) has launched its fund raising efforts for acquiring a Parade Float for the African American Heritage Parade September 15, 2019 (Harlem USA).
 
The Float is needed for the Elders of the movement, Veteran Members of the original Black Panther Party, Freed Political Prisoners who have spent decades in prison, Lifelong Activist and Freedom Fighters that can no longer walk the parade route. For years the Elders participated, we were able to add 8-10 cars to the Freedom Fighters contingent for the Elders.

Lo and behold last year the new folks in charge
of the Harlem Day African American Parade
limited us to 2 cars so many of our Elders
could not participate, a huge disappointment.

    We call on supporters of Political Prisoners and the Movement Elders to please contribute to this fund. See enclose example of float, whatever monetary contribution you can make is appreciated.
Help the Elders, once again represent as we venture up Adam Clayton Blvd.
 
Our Message Free all Political Prisoners!

We will prioritize the needs and the demands of people on the front lines of the climate crisis in New York City, New York State, the United States, and around the world -- those who are suffering "first and worst" from the climate emergency and who must be the ones to shape the future. We will also center the radical, creative struggles for climate and economic justice and democracy in Puerto Rico -- September 2019 will mark the second anniversary of Hurricane Maria's landfall on the island.

Doors open at 6:30 pm

Judy Sheridan-Gonzalez, RN -- President, NY State Nurses Association; Co-coordinator, NYRN Disaster Relief Work in Puerto Rico

The program will include a screening of the 7-minute Green New Deal video, "A Message from the Future."

There will be tabling by co-hosts.

Bronx Climate Justice North — "Amid an ongoing heat wave, new data show the Greenland ice sheet is in the middle of its biggest melt season in recorded history. It’s the latest worrying signal climate change is accelerating far beyond the worst fears of even climate scientists.The record-setting heat wave that sweltered northern Europe last week has moved north over the critically vulnerable Greenland ice sheet, triggering temperatures this week that are as much as 25 to 30 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than normal.Weather models indicate Tuesday’s temperature may have surpassed 75 degrees Fahrenheit in some regions of Greenland, and a weather balloon launched near the capital Nuuk measured all-time record warmth just above the surface. That heat wave is still intensifying, and is expected to peak on Thursday with the biggest single-day melt ever recorded in Greenland. On August 1 alone, more than 12 billion tons of water will permanently melt away from the ice sheet and find its way down to the ocean, irreversibly raising sea levels globally." https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/greenland-ice-sheet-melt-865803/

When: Thursday, September 5. 7:00 to 9:00 PM
Where: The Brooklyn Commons Cafe - 388 Atlantic Ave

Doors open 6:45. This event is free and wheelchair accessible!

The Beginning of the End of Nuclear Weapons tells the story of how the United Nations came to approve a new treaty to prohibit nuclear weapons, despite the fact that the majority of the world’s population neither know about the treaty nor understand the threat that nuclear weapons pose to the world today.

Ray Acheson is the Director of Reaching Critical Will. She provides analysis, research, and advocacy across a range of disarmament and arms control issues. Ray leads WILPF’s work on stigmatizing war and violence, including by campaigning for a nuclear weapon ban treaty and challenging the arms trade and the use of explosive weapons and armed drones.

[Am very unsure what this action or actions or event or events or campaign or campaigns are about, at least as of late July.   One associates Center for Popular Democracy with liberal or progressive domestic issue advocacy or legislative advocacy.  Hopefully helpful bottom of this message comes from the Campaigns Tab of sponsor's website.  A hint - This degree of communication ambivalence usually implies either DNC or Dems to me.  Or else there is some other reason why CPD cannot easily tell us what their action or event or campaign or group is for &/or against.   Conceivably relevant, Sept. 9 is Attica Day.   Please be careful around liberals.  -t.]

Corporate Backers of Hate

Major corporations stand to profit from Trump’s hateful agenda. That's why we call them Backers of Hate. Read up on the facts and then tell their CEOs and Board members what you think! Give the Corporate #BackersofHate hell >>
 
The Richmond Fed President

One of the most important economic policymaking positions in the country, the head of the Richmond Federal Reserve, has a vacant seat. Instead of filling this seat with another Wall Street insider, we need someone who actually understands and represents working folks. Sign your support now >>
 
#WeFightBack Together!

#WeFightBack!
Donald Trump's victory last November made it very clear that we'd have to fight his Administration hard, and we'd have to fight often. Join us in fighting back against the Trump Administration, backwards politicians in office, and others who are are working to disenfranchise our communities and take away our power! Tell us a little bit about yourself and how you fight back >>
Support Automatic Voter Registration!

Automatic Voter Registration
Automatic Voter Registration is one simple way to streamline our voting process and increase individuals' participation in our democracy. Automatic Voter Registration ensures the government, whether state or federal, depending on the law, adopts the responsibility of registering eligible voters, reduces state government costs of paper registration systems, increases voter participation, and could bring 55 million new voters to the rolls nationwide. Sign our pledge demanding Automatic Voter Registration for all Americans >>
The Fight for Fair Wages

Minimum wage voter
The current minimum wage is driving working people deeper into poverty across the country. While the cost of housing, food and other every day needs has risen, the minimum wage has not kept pace. Donald Trump, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, and other Republicans don't think there is anything wrong with our federal minimum wage. If millionaires and billionaires in office don't want to raise the wage, then they certainly don't deserve our vote! Stand with workers and sign our pledge now declaring yourself a minimum wage voter >>
Take a Stand Against Corporate Greed!

Most workers in our country are paid by the hour, and all too frequently their hours are cut, or they vary wildly week-to-week. We also see working people having to take on two or even three jobs to make ends meet, because businesses are more concerned with keeping the money at the top than offering workers more hours. Sign the pledge now to support workers and take a stand against corporate greed >>

The New Sanctuary Coalition (NSC) accompaniment program recruits and trains volunteers to accompany people facing deportation to their immigration hearings and ICE check-ins. This provides moral support to the person facing deportation and enables volunteers to hold immigration authorities accountable. Standing in solidarity with migrants facing deportation also demonstrates to immigration judges, ICE officers, and government attorneys that there is a community mobilized against their deportation. NSC accompanies hundreds of people a year.

The Immigration Accompaniment Program helps support families who are going through the immigration process in 3 ways:

    PROVIDES A SUPPORT STRUCTURE to strengthen those caught in immigration proceedings

    KEEPS FAMILY MEMBERS INFORMED at every step of the process as their loved ones move forward

    HOLDS LEGAL OFFICIALS ACCOUNTABLE for providing accurate information and serving due process

It is a concrete way to extend sanctuary for the most vulnerable among us. Sanctuary is not a physical entity but the spaces wherein all of us can breathe freely and in dignity.

We are building a movement that cares and protects the other, not matter where they are from or who they are.

How does it work?  Once you’re trained you become part of the accompaniment program. You’ll learn about upcoming accompaniments and can sign up for time slots and locations that work for you.

The Federal Administration has finalized a new policy in immigration law that could limit legal immigration for working class immigrants.

The Public Charge rule will go into effect on October 15, 2019, and though several pending lawsuits may delay implementation, it is important to inform our communities of the potential impact it may have.

Join us at our Queens Town Hall on Public Charge to learn more about “Public Charge”, who it may affect, and how local organizations are supporting our immigrant communities.

On January 8 and 9 of this year, 150 million workers went on a general strike in India, the biggest work stoppage in history. This strike marked another first when agricultural workers and small farmers calling for a solidarity shutdown of rural India joined the striking workers from many sectors including manufacturing, mining, energy, transportation, banking, public services, construction, and many more. These 150 million striking Indian workers corresponds roughly to the total working population of the United States. Here in the U.S. during 2018 a record number of workers went on strike or stopped working because of labor disputes—485,000 workers from major sectors were involved over that year. This was the largest number of workers on strike or work stoppages since 1986, when flight attendants, garbage collectors, and steelworkers walked off the job. Although the international rumblings of a wakening proletariat are of greater or smaller magnitude they indicate the possibility of the workers of all lands to unite on a scale like never before, and in numbers Marx and Engels could only dream of when they wrote these closing words to The Communist Manifesto in 1848. “The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to gain. Working Men of All Countries, Unite!”

During their lives working together, Marx and Engels kept abreast of all working class movements and developments within all societies that they could get news from. Their work in doing so predates their partnership as anti-capitalist revolutionaries, but flourished especially upon meeting and thereafter. As Engels stated at the grave of Marx in 1883:

“…Marx was before all else a revolutionist. His real mission in life was to contribute, in one way or another, to the overthrow of capitalist society and of the state institutions which it had brought into being, to contribute to the liberation of the modern proletariat, which he was the first to make conscious of its own position and its needs, conscious of the conditions of its emancipation. Fighting was his element. And he fought with a passion, a tenacity and a success such as few could rival. His work on the first Rheinische Zeitung (1842), the Paris Vorwarts (1844), the Deutsche Brusseler Zeitung (1847), the Neue Rheinische Zeitung (1848-49), the New York Tribune (1852-61), and, in addition to these, a host of militant pamphlets, work in organizations in Paris, Brussels and London, and finally, crowning all, the formation of the great International Working Men’s Association — this was indeed an achievement of which its founder might well have been proud even if he had done nothing else.

“And, consequently, Marx was the best hated and most calumniated man of his time. Governments, both absolutist and republican, deported him from their territories. Bourgeois, whether conservative or ultra-democratic, vied with one another in heaping slanders upon him. All this he brushed aside as though it were a cobweb, ignoring it, answering only when extreme necessity compelled him. And he died beloved, revered and mourned by millions of revolutionary fellow workers….”

This term we begin the careful reading of the investigative journalism, political works, and organizational correspondence within the revolutionary movements by both Marx and Engels. We will begin with early works. As we begin, we shall read Frederich Engels’ The Condition of the Working Class in England which as Eric Hobsbawm stated “is the first book in Britain or any other country which dealt with the working class as a whole and not merely with particular sections and industries. Secondly, and more important, it was not merely a survey of working class conditions, but a general analysis of the evolution of industrial capitalism, of the social impact of industrialization and its political and social consequences — including the rise of the labor movement. In fact, it was the first large-scale attempt to apply the Marxist method to the concrete study of society, and probably the first work by either Marx or Engels which the founders of Marxism regarded as sufficiently valuable to merit permanent preservation.

As a guide to our readings over several terms of study, we shall read from the Karl Marx’s Theory of Revolution series written over many years by Hal Draper. As Draper states in his introduction to the work:

“…the answer to pseudodemocracy is real democracy; the abuses of “scientism” can be countered only by a genuinely scientific attitude; and the obfuscations of various contemporary ‘Marxisms’ can be understood only with the help of Marx’s Marxism…”

Between this May and through our spring and summer terms of this study the plan is the read The Condition of the English Working Class, The German Ideology, and selections of works by the young Marx and Engels leading up to the revolutions of 1848. We will begin the fall term continuing with the works of Draper and a careful reading of The Communist Manifesto, followed by Class Struggles in France and The 18th Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte, along with selections from Marx and Engels journalism and reports of various activities throughout the world at the time of this revolutionary wave, including their beginning assessments of anarchism, utopian socialists and more.

All fees are sliding scale. No one is denied participation for inability to pay.

Es común escuchar la palabra puta como insulto, como ofensa a la libertad y a la autonomía de nuestros cuerpos. Para nosotres ya no es un agravio. Reconocernos Putas/Putxs/Putes y es asi como reivindicar nuestros derechos, y que hace parte de nuestra lucha en una sociedad en la que no nos estigmaticen ni se nos discriminen, una sociedad en la que Putas/Putxs/Putes no sea un insulto. Nos enfrentamos a un mundo en el que por ser Putas/Putxs/Putes no nos quemen en la hoguera, no nos apedreen y no nos persigan.

Como inicio:

“Las mujeres deberían dejar de vestirse como putas para evitar violaciones”, dijo el policía Michael Sanguinetti en la Facultad de Derecho de Osgoode Hall en Toronto, Canadá. Como repudio a estas declaraciones, a la violencia machista y a las desigualdades de género, en abril de 2011, Sonya Barnett y Heather Jarvis organizaron la primera “Slutwalk” o “Marcha de las Putas”. La movilización se replicó en distintos países de Latinoamérica.

Este año nos organizaremos, por segunda vez la marcha de las Putas/Putxs/Putes se desarrollara en el condado de Queens, New York, nos manisfestaremos las mujeres feministas, mujeres, la comunidad negra, discapacitada, transfeministas, aliadxs, amigxs y familiares para ser frente al estigma y la discriminacion, para demandar y exiguir el respeto de nuestros derechos. Es hora de que se nos garanticen nuestros derechos. Y que el trabajo Sexual deje ser estigmatizado y necesitamos ser incluidxs en las prioridades estatales, locales en NYC y que garanticen nuestra dignida y nuestras vidas.  Esta marcha es una forma de rendir tributo a la vida. La vida que es diversa y que nos une a todxs"

Tenemos que acabar con las discriminación y los y insultos hacia nosotrxs. Las Putas/Putxs/Putes tenemos voz, estamos empoderadxs, organizadxs y exigimos que nuestras voces estén presentes.

Nada sobre las Putas/Putxs/Putes sin las Putas/Putxs/Putes!

It is common to hear the word bitch as an insult, as an offense to freedom and to the autonomy of our bodies. For us it is no longer a grievance. Recognize Whores and claim our rights is part of our struggle for a society in which we are not stigmatized or discriminated against, a society in which Puta is not an insult. A world in which, because they are bitches, they do not burn us at the stake, they do not stone us and they do not persecute us.

"Women should stop dressing like whores to avoid rapes," said police Michael Sanguinetti at Osgoode Hall Law School in Toronto, Canada. As a repudiation of these statements, sexist violence and gender inequalities, in April 2011, Sonya Barnett and Heather Jarvis organized the first "Slutwalk" or "March of the Whores". The mobilization was replicated in different countries of Latin America.

This year we will organize for the first time the march of the whores will be developed in the county of Queens, New York, we will manifest feminist women, transfeminist women, allies, friends and family to be faced with stigma and discrimination, to demand and demand the respect of our rights. It is time for us to be guaranteed our rights. We need to be included in the state and local priorities in NYC and to guarantee our dignity and our lives. This march is a way of paying tribute to life. The life that is diverse and that unites us all and all "

We have to end the discrimination and the insults towards us. We Putas have a voice, we are empowered, organized and we demand that our voices be present.

Nothing about the Slut without the Slut!
