Join the Fight for 15 protest nationwide Feb. 12 – the 50th anniversary of the historic Memphis sanitation strike - carrying on the fight for higher wages and union rights led by hundreds of black municipal workers whose 1968 walkout became a rallying cry of the Poor People’s Campaign led by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

In 1968, 40% of Memphis sanitation workers relied on welfare to survive. Today 52% of fast food workers are forced to access benefits just to get by. 50 years later, we are still struggling, and we are still fighting.

As we honor the legacy of the Memphis strikers we commit ourselves to organizing forward by participating in six weeks of direct action and nonviolent civil disobedience beginning Mother’s Day as part of the new Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival, uniting two of the nation’s most powerful social movements in a common fight for strong unions to lift people of all races out of poverty, break the chains of racism, challenge the morality of the military economy and address the environmental destruction that affects us all.

Go to www.FightFor15.org/IAM to declare that you are going to be part of the solution; that you are no longer willing to suffer in silence or turn a blind eye to the suffering and endless struggle around you. This is our task and our time.

Join us again, Friday, February 9th, as we continue to protest the invitation of Steve Bannon to speak at the University of Chicago.

Together we will show the University that we reject a system that gives an elevated platform to misogynistic, homophobic, white supremacist ideologies while denying freedom of speech to University of Chicago staff, students, and surrounding community members.

Help us show that Bannon and his bigoted ideologies are not welcome on our campus, in our community, or in the city of Chicago.

Please DM the UChicago Socialists - ISO, UChicago YDSA, or UofC Resists if your organization would like to endorse and/or speak from the front.

Bring the Noise, Break the Silence, The Trump/Pence Regime Must GO!

This week Trump announced his decision to end protections for 200,000 Salvadorans with Temporary Protective Status.

January 19th is another budget deadline for Congress, and another big opportunity to pass a Clean DREAM act.

Join us on January 17th at 5pm at Daley Plaza as we demand that Congress pass a Clean DREAM act NOW and protect the hundreds of thousands of immigrants living with TPS.

What happened this week?

• The “tax scam” of reactionary social re-engineering signed into law, bringing more misery to millions and millions
• The U.S. threatened the world at the U.N., again, this time for objecting to naming Jerusalem the capital of Israel, which it is not & never will be.
• Democrats sold out the Dreamers in order to get along with a fascist regime.

We do not need any more reasons, or any more of these outrages!
It’s time and past time to - Break the silence, bring the noise in the Loop (Thompson Center, Clark and Randolph) again this Saturday!

On Friday, 7 DACA recipients were arrested in Congressional offices and have been in custody since Friday night. They are calling on all of us to host solidarity vigils on Saturday and Sunday to uplift their stories and their demand for a clean Dream Act. Every day the Dream Act does not pass, undocumented youth are at risk of detention and deportation. Thousands have already lost their work permits, jobs, and sense of safety. We need as many people as possible to show their support and vigils are a great way to mobilize a lot of people to show this broad public support.

Please join us at NICHOLS PARK (across from Target, just east of Kimbark Ave) to help us elevate their stories and demand permanent protection!

Undocumented youth won DACA by risking freedom through direct action. Undocumented youth are currently holding a jail strike and risking so much to make clear the urgency of this crisis and show the American people and political leaders what will happen to us if the Dream Act doesn’t pass before the end of the year.

We can win this – IF hundreds of us sit-in and take over the offices of Representatives and Senators across the country to demand they make a choice: stand with Dreamers or stand by as 800,000 young immigrants are deported.

Whoever and wherever you are, you can play a crucial role. Don’t worry if you aren’t willing to risk arrest we will need to fill crucial support roles! We will support you every step of the way. Once you RSVP you will receive the information to connect with the team and a guide to help you prepare for the action.

Join us in demanding REP.Davis vote no on a spending bill that does not include a CLEAN DREAM
