RE: CALLING THE POLICE ON CAMPUS PROTESTS SHOWS THAT COLLEGE
PRESIDENTS HAVEN’T LEARNED A THING SINCE THE 1960S
 

The lessons should be obvious. Bringing police onto a college campus
on the pretext of preserving or restoring “order” is almost always
inspired not by conditions on campus, but by partisan pressure on
university administrators to act.

RE: POLICE LET VIOLENT MOBS ATTACK UCLA STUDENTS. THIS IS WHAT
LAWLESSNESS LOOKS LIKE

xxxxxx is very good progressive online journal, with excellent
reporters. Here is what one of them has reported of the violence at
UCLA.

Cecelia F. Klein
Professor Emerita
Department of Art History
UCLA

      =====

Since the previous Thursday, groups of ever-more aggressive
counter-protesters had beset the Palestine solidarity tent village on
UCLA’s Dickson Plaza. Then, just before 11pm on 30 April, at least a
100 masked young men stormed the camp. They announced their presence
by blasting the sounds of screaming babies from loudspeakers. They
shined strobe lights, sprayed irritant gases and launched firecrackers
at the encampment. One landed in the middle of the tents, eliciting
screams from the occupants. The besieged protesters called for help
– at least five people were already injured – but none came.

The mob breached the metal barricades around the camp, kicked in its
plywood walls, and began stomping and beating the campers with fists
and poles. At this point, a two-sided melee began. The Daily Bruin,
the student paper, reported that some blasts of gas appeared to come
from inside the camp. A text from the UC Divest Coalition sent around
1140pm, however, said that the encampment members do not possess
teargas and were using “community defense” and wearing goggles to
protect themselves.

RE: ARE CRITICS OF STUDENT PROTESTS ANTI-SEMITIC?
 

Right on!! Short and sweet!!!

The assumption that all Jewish people should support Israel and its
genocidal mission is itself as anti-semitic as you can get.

RE: WE NEED “OUTSIDE AGITATORS”
 

I would be there in a heartbeat were I physically able. I long to
stand with the students.

"Pro-Palestine student protesters are being smeared as puppets of
shadowy “outside agitators.” The presence of community members and
experienced activists in the protests is nothing to be ashamed of: we
need outside agitators to build a better world."

RE: A DIARY OF A PALESTINIAN LIVING IN ISRAEL

 

Excerpt:

Her response is typical: A recent opinion poll shows that the vast
majority of Jewish Israelis – 94% – believe the Israeli military
has used “adequate or too little force” in Gaza. About 88% of
Jewish Israelis believe the number of Palestinians killed or wounded
in Gaza is justified. These are astonishing figures given the
apocalyptic scale of death and destruction that Israel has meted out
on Gaza and its people.

A friend warned me not to say anything to my neighbor. “Don’t
express dissent,” she told me. “Your neighbor will just report you
to the police.” My friend is right to worry. Alongside the genocidal
frenzy, Israel has taken measures to crush any domestic dissent,
including banning protests, passing a law to shut down Al Jazeera, and
going after those who dare speak out against genocide, including
professor Shalhoub-Kevorkian.

Since Oct. 7, hundreds of Palestinian citizens of Israel have been
arrested for “incitement” and “supporting terrorism” as
expressions of solidarity with Gaza are characterized, speaking out
against Israeli state crimes, and, in some cases, for writing Quranic
verses. Students – ratted out by fellow classmates – have been
disciplined by their colleges or universities for “liking” social
media posts, while those who openly advocate genocide remain free to
do so. Armed militia groups patrol Israel’s streets and social media
posts and report Palestinians, including doctors and professors, to
police.

RE: DONALD TRUMP’S EMPTY PROMISES ON JOBS
 

During the four years of Trump’s presidency, the United States lost
2.7 million jobs. As a result, he was the only president since 1939,
when the U.S. government began compiling such employment statistics,
to preside over a net loss of jobs.

RE: NEW YORK CARE WORKERS' FIGHT TO END THE 24-HOUR WORKDAY HIGHLIGHTS
THE CRACKS WITHIN THE PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT

(posting on xxxxxx Labor
[[link removed]])
 

Thanks for this article, though the authors clearly lean on one side
of the split and probably could have explained the schism better. I
have seen leaflets with pictures of NYC Council Speaker Adams (who is
African American), blaming her for committing "violence against women
of color." Some of these appeared while Speaker Adams was leading City
Council overrides of vetoes by Mayor Adams (no relation) on issues of
criminal justice, issues of prime concern to Black and Latino
communities and all people who fight for social, racial and economic
equality. The fact that the union representing many of these workers
has issues with some of the positions, and that labor law really
resides in the state, not the city, seems to fall on some deaf ears.
Regardless of who is correct on the various issues of fissure, at the
least, the leaflets and much of the rhetoric is so far removed from
popular front strategy and tactics, it is damaging to larger causes
and misreads the balance of forces and the state of affairs today.

WEBINAR:  THE ROLE OF THE LABOR MOVEMENT IN THE SOLIDARITY ECONOMY
 --  MAY 10  (SOLIDARITY ECONOMY CLUB AT CUNY SCHOOL OF LABOR AND
URBAN STUDIES)

Solidarity Economy is an internationalist framework that seeks to
unify diverse community-based initiatives toward a values-centered
alternative to capitalism. Some of these initiatives include
cooperatives, community gardens, land trusts, tenant’s unions, care
networks & more.

There has been increasing attention on the role of the labor movement
in solidarity economy as union leaders seek new ways to fight back
against the increasing precarity caused by neoliberalism, automation
and AI. As evidenced by the Union Co-op Model, unions and the labor
movement more broadly can significantly support solidarity economy
initiatives. Meanwhile, the solidarity economy movement can benefit
workers and unions by developing community-based support networks that
create long-term stability and community empowerment.

How can these movements better collaborate? Where are the success
stories? Where is there room for improvement?

Join us for answers to these questions and more.

VIRTUAL FORUM ON THE RISE: DOCTORS UNIONIZING & ORGANIZING FOR SINGLE
PAYER  MAY 14

 

ON THE RISE: DOCTORS UNIONIZING & ORGANIZING FOR SINGLE PAYER

Tuesday, May 14
7:30-9:00 PM via Zoom

Closed Captions in English will be provided.

RSVP TODAY
[[link removed]]
to join us this coming Tuesday, May 14th at 7:30pm for our virtual
educational forum ON THE RISE: DOCTORS UNIONIZING & ORGANIZING FOR
SINGLE PAYER.

Physicians and other healthcare professionals are unionizing. What is
motivating this phenomenon? How and why do fiercely independent
professionals get organized? What are the connections between this
increasing interest in unionization and in advocacy for establishing
an equitable, single payer healthcare system that prioritizes patients
rather than profits?

Our May forum
[[link removed]]
will feature frontline physicians who have been leaders in successful
unionization efforts, in New York and from around the country, as well
as professional labor union organizing staff. We will explore forces
driving unionization, and the fight against both the corporate
practice of medicine and broader financialization of healthcare.

Up to 75% of doctors are now employees of large corporate networks,
often third-party investor-owned, for-profit entities. The resulting
loss of professional autonomy contributes to worse care for patients
and hostile work conditions for physicians. Every day, patients and
doctors find themselves allied in opposition to long wait-times,
narrow networks, needless prior authorizations, shortened patient
visits, exorbitant billing, and ballooning administrative burdens.
Communities face inadequate resources that are distributed inequitably
because of a healthcare financing system that serves corporate
interests while harming both doctors and patients.

It is the current U.S. system of healthcare financing and payments
that incentivizes all hospitals and clinics – regardless of whether
they are for-profit, not-for-profit, or even have a mission to serve
the underserved – to behave badly toward both the healthcare
providers they employ and the patients and communities they serve.
With funding and budgets based on service reimbursement, healthcare
organizations are incentivized to chase profitable procedures and
preferential combinations of patients and insurance, and to win the
billing game.

To fix this mess we need to eliminate fragmented, for-profit insurance
pools and replace them with progressively paid for, universal,
comprehensive, guaranteed healthcare. We need global budgeting to meet
community healthcare needs. Investor-owned, third-party, for-profit
hospitals and clinics must become illegal again.

Who better to advocate for a new system of healthcare than organized
healthcare workers? Tune in to learn more on May 14!

CONFERENCE: NO WAR BUT THE CLASS WAR  --  BROOKLYN, NY  --  MAY 31
- JUNE 2  (HISTORICAL MATERIALISM AND THE INSTITUTE FOR THE RADICAL
IMAGINATION)

 

MAY 31 · 10AM - JUNE 2 · 6PM EDT

Long Island University Brooklyn
1 University Plaza
Brooklyn, NY 11201

The ongoing proliferation of violent conflicts and antagonisms has
once again brought the question of warfare to the forefront.
Unfortunately, the dominant discourse that has accompanied these
antagonisms is simplistic moralism; war as a matter of good and evil.
Relatedly, anti-war movements in the United States and beyond have
waned, the fight against 'evil' overcoming all else. The startling
lack of critical perspectives on and mass social movements against
these recent and ongoing wars (from Afghanistan, Syria, Ukraine, Gaza,
and the West Bank to Yemen, Sudan, and beyond), as well as
increasingly possible future wars (China, Russia), is a direct
consequence of the Manichean perspective that has dominated the
understanding of the many (including some on the left). Equally
worryingly, the broader disruptions and impact of these wars, from
rising poverty in the global south to the displacement of tens of
millions of people, have not been adequately understood as one of the
consequences of these ongoing antagonisms.

It is against this backdrop that a return to a more analytical and
rigorous understanding of conflict and war is needed. More precisely,
a class analysis of conflict and antagonism is necessary for
understanding the complexity of these conflicts and the social
conditions that engender them. The analysis of class is always
concurrently an analysis of movement and struggle; there is no class
without war, and there is no war without class. Thus, a class analysis
of war also makes visible the deeper social agencies and stakes of
these conflicts, highlighting the importance of anti-war movements as
well as the necessity of class struggle from below. Similarly, a class
analysis shows which conflicts extend and deepen the control and
interests of the capitalist classes and which conflicts combat
capitalism and benefit the working and other subaltern classes.

As in the past, the conference ethos is strictly egalitarian. This
means everyone is invited to contribute in a comradely spirit, the
conference is open to all currents of critical Marxist theory, and we
expect all presenters to attend the entire conference, not just their
own session (with no ‘cameo appearances’). We also expect all
speakers to make themselves available for their sessions for the whole
period of the conference (with only completely immutable circumstances
constituting exceptions), as tailoring a conference of this size
around individuals’ preferences and desires is not feasible or
desirable. The conference is an important part of the broader
Historical Materialism project – including the journal, the book
series, and the global network of HM conferences – and we want to
encourage all conference participants to get involved with these
different elements, for example, by subscribing to the journal and
submitting their conference paper to us for consideration. The
Institute for the Radical Imagination is based in New York City and
sponsors various seminars and classes throughout the year, including a
yearly Marxist Summer School. It also publishes the journal
Situations.

TEACH TRUTH DAY OF ACTION 2024  --  JUNE 8  (ZINN EDUCATION
PROJECT)

 

SIGN UP TO HOST A TABLE OR EVENT
[[link removed]] 

JOIN US ON SATURDAY, JUNE 8 TO DEFEND THE FREEDOM TO LEARN.

Once again, we invite educators, students, parents, and community
members to host an information table or event to defend the right to
#TeachTruth (including about Palestine) and defend LGBTQ+ rights.

The right has declared war on teaching the truth about structural
racism and sexism and on LGBTQ+ youth. Books by Black, Indigenous,
people of color, LGBTQ+, and Palestinian American writers are
increasingly being banned
[[link removed]].

While claiming to “protect” young people, the right-wing
legislators block any efforts to address gun violence (the leading
cause of death for young people
[[link removed]]) and the
existential threat of climate change.

In this election year, we need to reach as many people as possible
with information about the chilling effect of these laws and how they
threaten any chance of an informed and engaged democracy.

JOIN THE CAMPAIGN TO SPREAD THE WORD — IT IS EASY TO PARTICIPATE.

Host an information table at a public site (such as a library,
bookstore, or farmers market) or organize a gathering at a historic
site. Sign up today [[link removed]].

Event hosts can receive a Teach Truth pop-up installation box with
banned books and other resources. All you need to do is select a site
and register.

ACTION PLAN OVERVIEW

While the step-by-step guide further below (after the co-sponsor list)
is detailed, the process is simple:

* SELECT A PUBLIC SITE. Host an information table at a public site
(like a library, bookstore, museum, festival, or farmers market) or
organize a gathering at a historic site. The group can be any size.
Every voice and action counts!
* SELECT YOUR ACTIVITY. Information tables require just one or two
people and you will receive a Teach Truth pop-up installation box with
banned books and other resources. Or plan a history walking tour, book
exchange, rally, etc. See ideas in the slides and detailed description
further below.
* POST PHOTOS and videos to social media with the hashtag
#TeachTruth
