MOMA´s board of  trustees member   = = > Steven Tananbaum owns a large amount of Puerto Rican debt through his hedge fund, GoldenTree.  He made his money at the cost of closing schools, cutting retirement pensions and other services in Puerto Rico.

We are taking action at the MOMA reopening demanding the museum to take out Steve Tananbaum from its board of trustees. For the people of Puerto Rico!

GoldenTree is one of the most aggressive vulture funds taking advantage of Puerto Rico’s debt crisis. It has invested heavily in all kinds of Puerto Rico bonds, including bonds from COFINA, PREPA, and the Commonwealth.

GoldenTree is the vulture fund that took the most advantage of the destruction brought by Hurricane Maria

While allegedly sending planes to help people, GoldenTree went on a buying spree of COFINA subordinated bonds, the prices of which plummeted dramatically for some months after Maria. GoldenTree brought over $408 million from October 2017 to April 2018. Just in its investments after Maria in COFINA subordinated bonds, GoldenTree made an estimated $159 million.

Tananbaum spends millions on his art collection. For example, it was revealed in a lawsuit filed in 2018 that Tananbaum spent $10.9 million on two sculptures from artist Jeff Koons.

Federal court event involving WBAI Radio

Subject: [stonypoint55] court support needed Mon 10/21 3PM WBAI v Pacifica rogue faction 40 Center St. Rm 1303
Date: Sat, 19 Oct 2019 21:05:05 -0400
From: Ken Gale
To: NYC Safe Energy Coalition , nycclearwater , NYC grassroots alliance google list group , Shut Down Indian Point Now , ipsec1@yahoogroups.com , Stony Point Indian Point Closure Group , Ows Environmental Solidarity , bcarp@googlegroups.com , manhattan-project-no-nuke@googlegroups.com , Pilgrim Pipeline Group

PLEASE come to the courthouse.
Please forward this around.

There are three different lawsuits against the Pacifica rogue faction.
They have an expensive Wall St. law firm working for them.
We have Bernie Sanders' lawyer and legal aid lawyers.
We have - and need - the listeners of WBAI to show support.
The Pacifica National Board voted against the rogue faction, even after the rogues managed to keep five people from voting, including three representatives from WBAI.

court date: Monday, 10/21/19 3:00PM
40 [Centre] St. Rm 1303 {snip}

All Pacifica stations are running a deficit. WBAI has the smallest paid staff of any station (12). KPFA in Berkeley has the largest (45). For 40 years (1960-2000), WBAI made up for the deficit of the other stations. Now that WBAI has not, there are people looking to sell WBAI or 99.5FM. Then, after they use up that money, I suppose they'll sell another station and another until there is nothing left. The Pastor Martin Niemoller quote (look it up) played out with progressive radio stations.

There was an article in the NY Times the same day as the WBAI coup about firings and cancellations at WNYC and NPR. Seems like a co-ordinated [sic] effort against progressive/liberal radio, doesn't it?

Hope to see many of you at the courthouse.

Simon Balto and Emily Thuma, in conversation with Mariame Kaba, will discuss their new books on histories of resistance to prisons and policing in the U.S. from 1919 through the 1970s.

Balto’s book, Occupied Territory: Policing Black Chicago from Red Summer to Black Power (2019), examines black Communists’ rejections of police enforcement of Depression-era austerity politics, and the Black Power-era fight for community control of the police, among related issues. Thuma’s book, All Our Trials: Prisons, Policing, and the Feminist Fight to End Violence (2019), explores 1970s radical newsletters that cut across prison walls, abolitionist fights for prisoners’ and psychiatric patients’ rights, and defense campaigns to free survivors of sexual and gender violence.

Together, these works offer questions and lessons for contemporary struggles.

. Shine a Light on Envy – Rally for Worker Health
Monday, Oct. 14, 6:00PM
https://facebook.com/events/508810653272064/ The New York Nail Salon Worker Association's Campaign for Health, Dignity and Justice is gaining momentum. Envy Nails has started to feel the pressure, going so far as to attempt to install an inadequate breakroom and an improper ventilation system at a location in the Bronx, but the Campaign isn’t letting up!
On Monday they organized three worker safety delegations of over 20 worker members and supporters to 25 Envy Nails locations in Queens, the Bronx and Harlem, delivering the correct gloves, masks and know your rights information directly to the workers there. Their efforts were accompanied by camera crews from Univision NY, Univision National, Bronx News 12 and covered by El Diario. Overall, they delivered over 140 packets of personal protective equipment to nail salon workers in three different boroughs! The Campaign also celebrated another graduation of nail salon technicians from their worker licensing program - these powerful, educated women will go on to take the NY state licensing exam in the coming weeks.
Now they're gearing up for another big worker and community action on October 14th @ 6pm in Harlem, where they will be rallying for the health of nail salon workers and shining a light on health issues at Envy Nails and the industry at large. Click here for more information on the action, and follow the campaign on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook! Sign up for updates here!

*For those coming from NYC, meet up location is right outside of Newark Penn Station, a short train ride*

Join us in a march and direct action to DEMAND drivers licenses for all of New Jersey's residents! For too long, the undocumented community has been fighting for the right to drive without fear. Democrats and Republicans have broken their promises over and over again while continuing to profit from tearing immigrant families apart. We cannot rest until every member of our community can get behind the wheel without fear of detention, deportation, and family separation.

We DEMAND that Democrats pass legislation to guarantee #LicensesForAll.

We DEMAND that Democrats stop breaking their promises to the immigrant community and stop being complicit in Trump's deportation machine.

Join us if you believe that everyone deserves to live with dignity, respect, and permanent protection.

If you are willing to risk arrest on October 24, please fill out this form: https://forms.gle/jtbwPRHi82y8Wc538

If you cannot risk arrest but would like to volunteer, please fill out this form: https://forms.gle/QuNAaAGAnenvM7bJ9

Justice for Some offers a new approach to understanding the Palestinian struggle for freedom, told through the power and control of international law. Focusing on key junctures—from the Balfour Declaration in 1917 to present-day wars in Gaza—Noura Erakat shows how the strategic deployment of law has shaped current conditions. Over the past century, the law has done more to advance Israel's interests than the Palestinians'. But, Erakat argues, this outcome was never inevitable.

Join us for a conversation with Noura Erakat, Katherine Franke and Diala Shamas.

We will bring our NO RAIDS/CLOSE THE CAMPS/ABOLISH ICE banners, photographs of the children who have died in ICE custody, and photographs of the detention camps. We will also have flyers to hand out. Press will be invited.

With the Impeachment inquiry is underway, the media has stopped paying attention to the immigration crisis. We need to  keep protesting government immigration policies, and keep pressuring the administration to welcome immigrants and treat them fairly.

Stand with us for an hour to object to Border Patrol and ICE terrorizing immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers. Tell your friends, acquaintances and co-workers to join us.

DCP [NYC Dept. of City Planning] is responsible for racist rezonings all over the city. Despite all the evidence that shows that rezonings cause displacement of lifelong and longtime residents of color, DCP continues to use faulty data to pretend that they have the community in mind.

We want to STOP DCP, END REZONINGS, and demand that the DeBlasio administration respect our right to COMMUNITY CONTROL of our neighborhoods!

What? ACTION to STOP DCP
When? Thursday, October 24, 6-8pm
Where? Zuccotti Park

JOIN US and DEMAND: The Trump/Pence Regime Must Go – NOW!   The time has come to launch mass, sustained, non-violent protests that come back week after week, refusing to stop until the Trump/Pence Regime has been removed from power.

**IT BEGINS: Saturday, October 19 New York, 5pm at Union Square

NATIONWIDE PROTESTS Saturday, October 26 and the following
Saturday (11/2)... and the next (11/9)... and the next (11/16)...

Puerto Rico and Hong Kong show us how:  TrumpPenceOutNOW!

Concentration Camps on the border... the earth melts and burns... the danger of war, even nuclear... white supremacy rules... fascist mobs and mass murderers... truth and science erased... the right to abortion near gone... democratic and civil rights are stripped away... THIS IS FASCISM UNFOLDING.

The Trump/Pence regime must go now because of the danger it poses to humanity. It must go now because fascism eliminates the right to dissent, undermining every aspiration and struggle for justice... it has direction and momentum that must be stopped before it becomes too late.

Impeachment hearings have begun – opening a new stage of struggle. The Trump/Pence regime and their hardcore base are gearing up and will not give up. The Democratic Party leadership refuses to utter the word Fascism and have conciliated and facilitated the assault on fundamental rights. Any illusions that “we can leave things to the Democrats” or wait til 2020 would be extremely dangerous. The only way to stop is by manifesting the power of millions in the streets. We must seize on the crisis now erupting to take history into our own hands – turning dread for the future into a force for hope.

The world as we have known it is being torn asunder. We must cast off fear and passivity because the future depends on it. Let's refuse to allow our differences to stand in the way of rising together in an unprecedented, unrelenting mass struggle to confront the danger of a Trump/Pence fascist America.

In the Name of Humanity, We REFUSE to Accept a Fascist America!

Testosterone is not what you think it is, and it is decidedly not a “male sex hormone.” Testosterone is a familiar villain, a ready explanation for innumerable social phenomena, from the stock market crash and the overrepresentation of men in prisons to male dominance in business and politics. It’s a lot to pin on a simple molecule. Yet testosterone levels don't in fact predict one's competitive drive or tendency for violence, appetite for risk or sex, or physical strength or athletic prowess. It’s neither the biological essence of manliness nor even “the male sex hormone.”

In their new book, Testosterone: An Unauthorized Biography (Harvard 2019), sociomedical scientist Rebecca Jordan-Young and cultural anthropologist Katrina Karkazis write a debunking life story of a molecule, prying it loose from over a century of misconceptions that undermine science even as they make myths and legends about this hormone seem scientific.

Jordan-Young and Karkazis will discuss the origins of this myth as well as what T does in six domains, reproduction, aggression, risk-taking, power, sports, and parenting, allowing us to see the real T for the first time.

Books will be available for sale from independent bookseller Word Up Community Bookshop/Librería Comunitaria.

We’ve heard a lot in the media lately from the bosses at the MTA that transit workers are overtime cheats and no-shows on the job. And that we don’t deserve a contract unless we pay for our own raises. Now, the MTA is going to hear our voices, LOUD AND CLEAR!
Local 100 members and supporters are urged to turn out for a mass contract rally outside 2 Broadway on Oct. 30th. There will be speakers, union-branded handouts, and lots of voices telling the MTA that “Transit Workers Deserve a Fair Contract.”  Wear your union colors. And be prepared to make noise.

UPCOMING EVENTS

 . Shine a Light on Envy – Rally for Worker Health
Monday, Oct. 14, 6:00PM
https://facebook.com/events/508810653272064/ The New York Nail Salon Worker Association's Campaign for Health, Dignity and Justice is gaining momentum. Envy Nails has started to feel the pressure, going so far as to attempt to install an inadequate breakroom and an improper ventilation system at a location in the Bronx, but the Campaign isn’t letting up!
On Monday they organized three worker safety delegations of over 20 worker members and supporters to 25 Envy Nails locations in Queens, the Bronx and Harlem, delivering the correct gloves, masks and know your rights information directly to the workers there. Their efforts were accompanied by camera crews from Univision NY, Univision National, Bronx News 12 and covered by El Diario. Overall, they delivered over 140 packets of personal protective equipment to nail salon workers in three different boroughs! The Campaign also celebrated another graduation of nail salon technicians from their worker licensing program - these powerful, educated women will go on to take the NY state licensing exam in the coming weeks.
Now they're gearing up for another big worker and community action on October 14th @ 6pm in Harlem, where they will be rallying for the health of nail salon workers and shining a light on health issues at Envy Nails and the industry at large. Click here for more information on the action, and follow the campaign on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook! Sign up for updates here!

JOIN US and DEMAND: The Trump/Pence Regime Must Go – NOW!   The time has come to launch mass, sustained, non-violent protests that come back week after week, refusing to stop until the Trump/Pence Regime has been removed from power.

**IT BEGINS: Saturday, October 19 New York, 5pm at Union Square

NATIONWIDE PROTESTS Saturday, October 26 and the following
Saturday (11/2)... and the next (11/9)... and the next (11/16)...

Puerto Rico and Hong Kong show us how:  TrumpPenceOutNOW!

Concentration Camps on the border... the earth melts and burns... the danger of war, even nuclear... white supremacy rules... fascist mobs and mass murderers... truth and science erased... the right to abortion near gone... democratic and civil rights are stripped away... THIS IS FASCISM UNFOLDING.

The Trump/Pence regime must go now because of the danger it poses to humanity. It must go now because fascism eliminates the right to dissent, undermining every aspiration and struggle for justice... it has direction and momentum that must be stopped before it becomes too late.

Impeachment hearings have begun – opening a new stage of struggle. The Trump/Pence regime and their hardcore base are gearing up and will not give up. The Democratic Party leadership refuses to utter the word Fascism and have conciliated and facilitated the assault on fundamental rights. Any illusions that “we can leave things to the Democrats” or wait til 2020 would be extremely dangerous. The only way to stop is by manifesting the power of millions in the streets. We must seize on the crisis now erupting to take history into our own hands – turning dread for the future into a force for hope.

The world as we have known it is being torn asunder. We must cast off fear and passivity because the future depends on it. Let's refuse to allow our differences to stand in the way of rising together in an unprecedented, unrelenting mass struggle to confront the danger of a Trump/Pence fascist America.

Film screening: Decade of Fire: Stay, Fight, Build
Amanda Andere, Marc Dones, and Vivian Vázquez Irizarry
Nov 11, 2019 | 6:30pm
Screening and Discussion
Event Oval, The Diana Center, 3009 Broadway, New York, NY 10027

Throughout the 1970s, while fires consumed the South Bronx, Black and Puerto Rican residents were blamed for the devastation even as they battled daily to save their neighborhoods. In “Decade of Fire,” Bronx-born Vivian Vázquez Irizarry pursues the truth surrounding the fires, uncovering policies of racism and neglect that still shape our cities, and offering hope to communities on the brink today.

RSVP TO ATTEND

Through a rich seam of archival and home movie footage, “Decade of Fire” confronts the racially-charged stereotypes that dehumanized residents of the South Bronx in the 1970s, and rationalized their abandonment by city, state and federal governments. Vázquez Irizarry, in her role as the film’s central character and co-director seeks not only healing for her community, but to redeem them from the harmful mythology spread by the media that has continued largely unchallenged to this day. She tells the story of a people who held on, worked to save their community and start anew against impossible odds. The accounts she gathers are supported by extensive research, archival footage, print and broadcast news excerpts, testimonials from retired FDNY firefighters and brass, as well as Bronx historians.

Through exposing the history, and lifting up the stories of survivors whose deep commitment to their homes and communities saved the borough, “Decade of Fire” offers the emergence of a new narrative for the South Bronx and places like it across the nation.

Following the screening, we will be joined by filmmaker, organizer, and educator Vivian Vázquez Irizarry, and Marc Dones, anti-racist educator and anthropologist, and Amanda Andere, CEO of Funders Together to End Homelessness. for a discussion and Q&A with the audience.

Learn more about the film at decadeoffire.com.

Events are free and open to the public. RSVP is preferred but not required. Seating is available on a first-come, first-seated basis.

Although union density is near an all-time low, labor activism has surged in many sectors. From adjunct faculty to video game developers, digital media workers, platform app drivers, and public school teachers, labor movement activism is growing in a number of key sectors. This is happening as many full-time jobs with benefits are disappearing, consumer/student debt is skyrocketing, the “gig economy” is expanding, and economic insecurity is increasing for American workers and families. Housing and child care costs – which heavily impact workers’ income, wealth, and health – have also become more burdensome for many families. Under President Trump, a number of worker rights and protections have been weakened or denied, including:

• No movement toward federal minimum wage increase

• Weak overtime protections for salaried workers

• Allowing employers to self-report wage violations and escape penalties

• Siding with employers against rights of gay and transgender workers

• (Mis)classifying Uber drivers and others as independent contractors, denying them basic rights

• Continuing ‘Right-to-Work’ efforts kickstarted by Supreme Court’s Janus decision

• Restricting workers’ right to organize at franchised businesses like McDonald’s

• De-funding and weakening OSHA

What should be Democrats’ top policy priorities to strengthen all workers’ rights? What are the most significant gaps and weaknesses in protections for worker organizing and economic rights today? ‘Right-to-work’ laws? Legal constraints against strikes and other worker actions? Minimum wage? The growing numbers of workers who fall outside the protections of the NLRA? Lack of livable safety net benefits for displaced and underemployed workers? Lack of protections for flex/gig workers? What new policies would best promote stronger worker protections and greater economic justice?

           LAS LOLITAS NYC is a group of Puerto Rican women from New York City committed to honoring and celebrating the life of social justice & anti-colonial activist LolitaLebrón as her Centennial celebration approaches, on November 19th2019, when a final commemoration will be held. Las Lolitas NYC is an extension of Las Lolita en su Centenario,  a group initially formed late last year in Puerto Rico. A year round jornada of events is taking place each month, welcoming anyone to join us in celebrating the life of Puerto Rican heroin, Lolita Lebron.
              LOLITA LEBRÓN, born Dolores Lebrón Sotomayor, was born in Lares, Puerto Rico on November 19, 1919. At the age of 18, she began to develop her political views outraged by the event known as the Ponce masacre, when police indiscriminately opened fire to peaceful protestors. She became part of the Puerto Rican diaspora of New York City in 1940. A mother of two, she earned her life working as a seamstress while vocally advocating for better treatment towards her community and inevitably transforming into a leader. As a member of the Puerto Rican Nationalist Party which advocated for Puerto Rico’s Independence during early US occupation, she developed a close bond with its leader, Harvard educated, Don Pedro Albizu Campos. 1953 the UN removed Puerto Rico from the list of non-self-governing territories, condemning the island to a perpetual colonial status. This event inspired LolitaLebrón to lead one of the most courageous acts of political activism in Puerto Rican history, know as the 1954 attack on congress, along with Rafael Cancel Miranda, Irving Flores and Andres Figueroa Cordero. Despite the absence of casualties she was sentenced to 50 years in federal prison. Lolita returned to her beloved island in 1979 after being pardoned by President Jimmy Carter. In 2001 she took part in acts of civil disobedience demanding closure of the US military base in Vieques, a municipal island off the east coast of Puerto Rico. Up until her passing in 2010 at the age of 91, Lebron continued to dedicate her life to Puerto Rico’s Independence becoming a revered symbol of resistance, earning the title of Puerto Rican heroin.
     Las Lolitas NYC — The event will be hosted by our sister and friend Marinieves Alba.
October 15, 2019 at 4:09 AM
     “Las Lolitas NYC” is a collective the aims to educate about the legacy of Puerto Rican activist Lolita Lebrón, as her centennial celebration approaches in November 2019.

           LAS LOLITAS NYC is a group of Puerto Rican women from New York City committed to honoring and celebrating the life of social justice & anti-colonial activist LolitaLebrón as her Centennial celebration approaches, on November 19th2019, when a final commemoration will be held. Las Lolitas NYC is an extension of Las Lolita en su Centenario,  a group initially formed late last year in Puerto Rico. A year round jornada of events is taking place each month, welcoming anyone to join us in celebrating the life of Puerto Rican heroin, Lolita Lebron.
              LOLITA LEBRÓN, born Dolores Lebrón Sotomayor, was born in Lares, Puerto Rico on November 19, 1919. At the age of 18, she began to develop her political views outraged by the event known as the Ponce masacre, when police indiscriminately opened fire to peaceful protestors. She became part of the Puerto Rican diaspora of New York City in 1940. A mother of two, she earned her life working as a seamstress while vocally advocating for better treatment towards her community and inevitably transforming into a leader. As a member of the Puerto Rican Nationalist Party which advocated for Puerto Rico’s Independence during early US occupation, she developed a close bond with its leader, Harvard educated, Don Pedro Albizu Campos. 1953 the UN removed Puerto Rico from the list of non-self-governing territories, condemning the island to a perpetual colonial status. This event inspired LolitaLebrón to lead one of the most courageous acts of political activism in Puerto Rican history, know as the 1954 attack on congress, along with Rafael Cancel Miranda, Irving Flores and Andres Figueroa Cordero. Despite the absence of casualties she was sentenced to 50 years in federal prison. Lolita returned to her beloved island in 1979 after being pardoned by President Jimmy Carter. In 2001 she took part in acts of civil disobedience demanding closure of the US military base in Vieques, a municipal island off the east coast of Puerto Rico. Up until her passing in 2010 at the age of 91, Lebron continued to dedicate her life to Puerto Rico’s Independence becoming a revered symbol of resistance, earning the title of Puerto Rican heroin.
     Las Lolitas NYC — The event will be hosted by our sister and friend Marinieves Alba.
