The scapegoating of immigrants and migrants is nothing new. Although immigrants built the US and are critical to entire industries like agriculture\, food processing\, construction\, and healthcare\, these immigrants have been blamed for the economic crisis by the racist Trump and his fascist supporters. They are also militarizing the police and setting up fascist gangs and thugs to terrorize immigrant workers and others\, including supporters of Palestine and other political activists. This is a war on the working class. Project 2025\, a fascist plan\, proposes a massive bracero program to drive immigrants out of the US\, and then bring them back as indentured workers or slave laborers. These attacks are also attacks on our unions around the world. The terror against immigrant workers will be used to bust unions and stop the unionization of  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n the entire working class as the capitalists pit workers against workers to benefit the union busters. The large mass migration of migrants in the last 30 years is also a direct result of US imperialists interventions in Palestine\, Iraq\, Syria and Libya\, and economic sanctions by the US against countries around the world. These US-driven wars have driven millions of people to become migrants and have left their own countries to go to Europe\, the US\, and other countries around the world. They are now being blamed by racists and fascists in these countries for the cause of the global economic crisis. Workers and unions around the world must unite in global action to defend immigrants and against the witch hunts that capitalist governments are launching. We need a united front to defend these immigrants and mass actions\, including general strikes to stop it. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n United We Stand\, Divided We Fall\, No Borders For The Working Class\nHands Off Immigrants & Migrants Around the World\nAn Injury To One Is An Injury To All\n  \nInitiated by: United Front Committee for A Labor Party (ufclp.org)\nFor info: info@ufclp.org URL:https://ufclp.org/event/stop-the-mass-deportations-san-francisco-ice/ LOCATION:630 Sansome St\, bet.

They are also introducing legislation to make it illegal to criticize Zionist Israel and its genocidal policies which are supported by both the UK and the US governments.\n\n\nThese governments\, politicians and billionaire class  are the real supporters  and funders of terrorism and genocide in Gaza and around the world.\n\n\nWe must stand now in defense of Greenstein and others who are facing criminal charges globally & must unite the US  working class and unions to defend democratic rights and opponents of Zionism.\n\n\nJOIN THE ACTION!\n\n\nGreenstein’s Website \n\n\nhttps://azvsas.blogspot.com/\n\n\nEndorsed By United Front Committee For A Labor Party UFCLP\, Socialist Viewpoint\n\n\nFor More Info & To Endorse & Speak\n\n\nwww.ufclp.org\n\n\ninfo@ufclp.org URL:https://ufclp.org/event/1-31-global-day-of-action-uk/ LOCATION:British Consulate\, 1 Sansome St.\, British Consulate\, 1 Sansome St.\, San Francisco\, CA\, 94104\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://ufclp.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/20240501_130811-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230810T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230810T110000 DTSTAMP:20260511T060049 CREATED:20230810T122158Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230810T122410Z UID:1228-1691659800-1691665200@ufclp.org SUMMARY:Stop The Robo Taxis/Disney Dystopia & Newsom Democratic Party Corruption At CPUC DESCRIPTION:8/10/23 SPEAK OUT! Stop The Robo Taxis/Disney Dystopia & Newsom Democratic Party Corruption At CPUC Thursday August 10th 9:30 AM San Francisco California Public Utilitty Commission 505 Van Ness/McAllister San Francisco On Thursday August 10\, 2023\, the California Public Utility Commission\, which is hand-picked by Governor Gavin Newsom will be voting on whether to allow the Google Waymo and GM Cruise robo-taxis to operate 24 hours a day in San Francisco.  The city\, which is ground central for capitalist AI development\, has become a Disney Dystopia with these vehicles stopping in the middle of streets and blocking the emergency services. Even the Fire Chief has said that a catastrophe will be coming with these vehicles on thee road. Newsom like former Governor Brown allow the crooks and billionaires to run this agency. Brown kept corrupt CPUC chair Michael Peevey even though he was taking money from PG&E and was responsible for helping them cover up their murderous crimes. Allowing this dangerous madness in San Francisco where tech companies are using the people of San Francisco as guinea pigs is San Francisco is another example of who these politicians like SF mayor London Breed and Democratic governor Gavin Newsom represent. The police could impound these vehicles for violating the vehicular code but Newsom\,  the CPUC\, DMV and Democratic legislature along with London Breed have given these companies a pass. One rule for the people and drivers and another rule for the tech billionaires. The Democrats from Biden and Kamala Harris to Newsom and Breed are shills and operatives for the introduction of AI regardless of the cost to workers and the public. Goldman Sacks says 350 million workers will lose their jobs because of capitalist control of AI. We demand that this not be approved by the CPUC but we need a working class political alternative to the corrupt Democratic Party that runs California and the Republicans who also support capitalist control of our economy. Join the speak out at the CPUC to make your voice heard and to stop the mayhem and chaos these capitalists and their AI is causing. The introduction and control of AI should be in the hands of working people and the public and it should benefit them rather than the capitalist class. No Disney Distopia in San Francisco STOP Newsom’s Corrupt CPUC NOW! Build A Mass Democratic Labor Party  United Front Committee For A Labor Party info [at] ufclp.org URL:https://ufclp.org/event/stop-the-robo-taxis-disney-dystopia-newsom-democratic-party-corruption-at-cpuc/ LOCATION:San Francisco California Public Utilitty Commission\, 505 Van Ness/McAllister\, San Francisco\, 94102\, United States END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230506T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230506T130000 DTSTAMP:20260511T060049 CREATED:20230428T172044Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230428T225048Z UID:1154-1683374400-1683378000@ufclp.org SUMMARY:For Global Action to Stop US Nuke Sub Base in Australian Port Kembla and AUKUS US/UK/Australia Military Alliance DESCRIPTION:20230506-Australian port URL:https://ufclp.org/event/for-global-action-to-stop-us-nuke-sub-base-in-australian-port-kembla-and-aukus-us-uk-australia-military-alliance/ LOCATION:Australian Consulate\, 575 Market Street\, San Francisco\, CA\, 94105\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://ufclp.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Port-Kembala.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230503T123000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230503T143000 DTSTAMP:20260511T060049 CREATED:20230427T183756Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230427T201906Z UID:1117-1683117000-1683124200@ufclp.org SUMMARY:WORLD PRESS FREEDOM DAY: MAY 3\, 2023 - FREE MUMIA AND ASSANGE!

The ANC government approved the takeover despite protests from the unions.\n\nThe privatization of ESCOM\, SAA\, Transnet\, and many other industries and companies is an open attack on all union and labor rights and bringing back contract labor in all of Southern Africa.\n\nThis panel will have speakers from Namibia and South Africa and look at the class struggles in Southern Africa and how we can take action now to support their life and death struggles and fight for May Day 2023.\n \nInitial Speakers:\nJ.V Dube\, RETUSA General Secretary South Africa\nGeorge Martin\, Mineworkers Union Of Namibia Fired Branch Secretary\nHewat Beukes\, Namibian Labor Lawyer\nDavid Hemson\, Organizer of Durban Dockworkers\n \n \nSponsored by United Front Committee For A Labor Party UFCLP\nwww.ufclp.org\ninfo@ufclp.org\n\n \n\nOn April 29\, 2023\nTo Join The Meeting via Zoom\n\n9 am California\n12 pm New York\n5 pm London\n6 pm Paris\, Berlin\, and Central Europe\n7 pm South Africa-Namibia\n\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/3290219617?pwd=OTFGZUVKcDd4bzVkVjl5ZS94QmdoQT09 URL:https://ufclp.org/event/the-fight-against-union-busting-privatization-contract-labor-in-southern-africa-may-day-2023/ LOCATION:Zoom\, CA\, United States CATEGORIES:Union Action ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://ufclp.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Rossing-uranium-mine.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230202T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230202T160000 DTSTAMP:20260511T060049 CREATED:20230202T200721Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230202T201122Z UID:973-1675350000-1675353600@ufclp.org SUMMARY:Stop The Discharges At Laguna Honda Hospital Discharges = Deaths DESCRIPTION:Despite unanimous opposition from the community and labor to the continued discharge of patients at San Francisco City’s Laguna Honda Hospital\, Mayor London Breed and her hand-picked San Francisco Department of Public Health commissioners have decided that discharges will start again on February 3\, 2023. It was only announced yesterday that they will be postponed until May 19th when the discharges will start again. This further terrorizes the patients and residents. \nThese discharges have already killed 12 patients of the Hospital. Further discharges will lead directly to more deaths\, and they have been warned at DPH hearings. Nursing home workers are already overloaded with patients and not prepared for many of the fragile residents and patients at Laguna Honda. \nThe SF Board of Supervisors have also refused to stop the discharges\, and Supervisor Mandelman wants to shut down debate by ending hybrid meetings where disabled\, community\, and labor members can participate remotely. \n\n\n\nThe fact is that there are not enough healthcare facilities like Laguna Honda. This same Board\, and the Department of Public Health director Colfax knew that patients who needed care were being discharged despite needing the care at Laguna Honda. This board and DPH Director Colfax need to be held responsible for these deaths\, and Mayor London Breed and the Board of Supervisors must STOP THIS NOW or be held responsible for any further deaths resulting from discharges. \n\n\n\nWe demand that Newsom and the State Department of Public Health along with US Secretary of Health & Human Services Xavier Becerra put a halt to these discharges. The Chair of Board Dan Bernal is the Chief of Staff for Nancy Pelosi and yet they are allowing the discharges to start again. Behind this is the drive to privatize the hospital and sell of the land for luxury condos which developers are already planning for. This also a boon for the private nursing home industry which Gavin Newsom and his state agencies refusing  to properly regulate and provide oversight of these nursing homes. \nWe need to stop the privatization of public health system and demand that nursing homes be run properly by the public without billionaires cutting costs for more profits. The outsourcing to consultants and the expenditures of over 56 million dollars as well has not been transparent\, and instead of bringing in professionals\, they are wasting more money by not hiring professionals as city employees to do the job. \nBring your community members and union brothers and sisters and bring your signs & banners to this speak out.  \n\n\n\n\n\nNo Discharges\, End The Secrecy By Department of Public Health Labor and Community United To Protect Laguna Honda Hospital \nSupported by: Brenda Barros\, SEIU 1021 SF General Hospital Chapter President\, Cheryl Thornton\, SEIU 1021 Community Healthcare Chapter Vice Chair\, United Public Workers For Action\, UPTE-CWA 9119 \n\n\n\n\nUnited Front Committee for A Labor Party (info@ufclp.org) (www.ufclp)  URL:https://ufclp.org/event/stop-the-discharges-at-laguna-honda-hospital-discharges-deaths/ LOCATION:Laguna Honda Hospital\, 375 Laguna Honda Blvd\, San Francisco\, CA\, United States CATEGORIES:Nurses END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220611T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220611T130000 DTSTAMP:20260511T060049 CREATED:20220524T014428Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220527T001444Z UID:883-1654941600-1654952400@ufclp.org SUMMARY:Educational Conference On AFL-CIO International Operations DESCRIPTION:Philadelphia LEPAIO Conference URL:https://ufclp.org/event/educational-conference-on-afl-cio-international-operations/ LOCATION:Ethical Society\, 1906 South Rittenhouse Square\, Philadelphia\, PA\, 19103\, United States END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220528T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220528T140000 DTSTAMP:20260511T060049 CREATED:20220517T004853Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220527T123352Z UID:841-1653739200-1653746400@ufclp.org SUMMARY:Stop School Closures: Stop privatizing community schools to benefit the rich!

The Black\, Brown\, Asian and Jewish communities are under direct threat as these deadly racist attacks escalate.Billionaire Elon Musk has now decided to spend $44 billion to take control of SF-based Twitter and use the platform to push this racist ideology.Despite his prolific use of Twitter\, he is strangely silent about the Buffalo massacre and the Nazi ideology of “replacement theory.” He also has a criminal record of racist terrorism at the Tesla plant in Fremont and union-busting to prevent workers from having a union to defend their rights on the job.He also illegally conspired to cover up the injuries of workers at Tesla and prevented them from getting medical care. This is workers comp fraud but has been unprosecuted. His drive for profits mean slave labor plantation conditions at the Tesla factory.He has been allowed to get away with these crimes because the politicians like Governor Gavin Newsom\, who is a friend of Musk\, refuse to enforce the labor\, workers comp\, and health and safety laws and every company he controls.His Fremont factory was allowed to operate full blast during the covid pandemic even when there was an Alameda County Shelter In Place Order for all businesses in the County. Sick Tesla workers who were transported by buses to the Central Valley where they infected their families and working-class communities in the Valley as a result of Musk’s criminal acts. Newsom even caved in and said he could violate the law. It is clear that Elon Musk is ABOVE THE LAW.We need to stand up against this racist and union-buster who wants to take control of this powerful global social media platform to propagate his anti-Black\, anti-working class ideology. The danger of a racist\, fascist USA is growing. We need a working-class political alternative that defends labor\, and democratic rights\, and workers should run these platform that they built.On May 25\, 2022\, Twitter will have a stockholders’ meeting.We Need To Speak Out And Make Our Voices HeardNo Racist Nazi Ideology On Social MediaNo Slave Labor At Tesla or Twitter!Enough Is Enough! \nTo endorse and participateinfo@ufclp.org \n\nEndorsed by:\nCCSF HEAT\nhttps://www.ccsfheat.org\nUnited Public Workers Action\n\nwww.upwa.info\n  \nInitiated byUnited Front Committee For A Labor Partywww.ufclp.orghttps://www.facebook.com/masslaborpartyusa/ \nUseful resources:Musk’s Tesla Plantation With Nooses & Lynchinghttps://www.eastbaytimes.com/2022/02/10/noose-drawing-lynching-reference-left-up-for-months-at-teslas-fremont-factory-civil-rights-lawsuit-claims/Musk’s Criminal Workers Comp Fraud Scamhttps://www.revealnews.org/article/how-tesla-and-its-doctor-made-sure-injured-employees-didnt-get-workers-comp/?fbclid=IwAR0oyUjcA5sGI0RfBiD6CYrFjuNdsopW6wE1wblKfSGvP207xooxe7rvWQcMusk Twitter Moderation?https://www.theverge.com/2022/5/16/23076428/buffalo-shooting-video-elon-musk-twitter-content-moderationI Was Illegally Fired By Elon Musk For Trying to Unionize Teslahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dt0aCuN1BFc&t=14sJAIL Tesla Billionaire Elon Musk & Defend Health & Safety: Workers Speak Out On At Teslahttps://youtu.be/GBB5y5Q6cZIMusk’s Systemic Racist Discriminationhttps://www.latimes.com/business/story/2022-02-11/la-fi-tesla-race-discrimination-lawsuitSilencing Black Twitterhttps://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-04-25/elon-musk-buying-twitter-will-silence-black-twitterMusk Above The Law-Tesla Stayed Open During Covid Shelter In Place Orderhttps://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2020/05/13/tesla-alameda-reopen-plant/Some Tesla factory employees say they’re being coerced and pressured to return to work by Elon Muskhttps://www.cnbc.com/2020/05/13/some-tesla-factory-employees-say-theyre-being-pressured-to-return-to-work.html?ref=hvper.comA user’s guide to Tesla’s worker safety problemshttps://www.revealnews.org/blog/a-users-guide-to-teslas-worker-safety-problems/Tesla to continue production at Fremont plant for days after shelter in place rulehttps://www.sfchronicle.com/business/article/Inside-Tesla-s-Fremont-factory-car-production-15143877.phpWorkers Comp Fraud: Tesla reportedly failed to tell regulators about dozens of factory injuries\, then claimed without evidence that regulators praised its record-keepinghttps://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-factory-injuries-incomplete-records-osha-california-2020-3Elon Musk’s Workers Comp Fraud: How Crooked Tesla and its corrupt doctor made sure injured employees didn’t get workers’ comphttps://www.revealnews.org/article/how-tesla-and-its-doctor-made-sure-injured-employees-didnt-get-workers-comp/?fbclid=IwAR0oyUjcA5sGI0RfBiD6CYrFjuNdsopW6wE1wblKfSGvP207xooxe7rvWQcGroup gathers to protest Tesla employees going back to workhttps://www.kron4.com/news/bay-area/group-gathers-to-protest-tesla-employees-going-back-to-work/Frustrated protesters outside Fremont Tesla factory want to see CEO Musk put behind barshttps://www.ktvu.com/news/frustrated-protesters-outside-fremont-tesla-factory-want-to-see-ceo-musk-put-behind-barsWorkers Wants Elon Musk in Jail After He Announces Tesla Restarting Operations Illegally but Gov Newsom Says Criminal Musk Can Open Without Proper Health and Safety Protectionhttps://www.news18.com/news/buzz/elon-musk-says-tesla-will-restart-operations-willing-to-be-arrested-for-it-2616005.htmlTwitter Has Helped Build Social Movements Across the World.

Why are they helping him and his agenda? \nThese politicians are planning to help a billionaire’s development as well when thousands of Oakland residents are homeless and living in tents. The connection between the proposed shutdown of Oakland public schools by the Bloomberg-controlled school board is being helped by Assemblywomen Mia Bonta and Democratic Superintendent Tony Thurmond. \nDemocratic politician Mia Bonta’s bill AB 1912 requires that schools be sold off to developers to get money for the schools\, and her husband and now Attorney General Rob Bonta with the support of Democratic Assemblywomen Nancy Skinner introduced and passed a bill in the legislature that allowed Fisher to grab the land at Howard Terminal and get public tax dollars from Oakland and the State for this land grab. This was supported by labor-backed Gavin Newsom who just helped dump the single-payer healthcare bill for California since he takes his orders from the Hospital bosses and Health insurance plans like Blue Cross and Kaiser. \n\n\n\nThe other part of this deal is the head of the Alameda Building Trades Andreas Cluver who is also the president of the Port of Oakland. He has supported the privatization and has got support from the head of Alameda Labor Council Elisabeth Ortega-Toro who wants to destroy a working port to build a stadium\, hotels\, and condos. Cluver and Ortega-Toro have betrayed the more than 80\,000 maritime workers and their unions including the ILWU Locals that have led the fight against systemic racism and for worker rights. He is also trying to bring in the Teamsters at an Eagle Rock Aggregates gravel operation in the port to pit Teamsters against ILWU longshoreman doing the boss’s job. This union-busting tactic by Cluver is a threat to all working people and that is why the bosses and their politicians put him on the Port Commission to do their dirty work. \n\n\n\nWhat is also behind this is that these capitalist politicians take their orders from the billionaires who really run Oakland and California. While California has a $45.7 billion-dollar budget surplus\, they are starving OSUD\, SFUSD\, and San Francisco City College and are using the publicly funded but privately run FCMAT (Fiscal Crisis and Management Assistance Team) to order budget cuts and school closures in mostly urban working-class Black and Brown school districts. \n\n\n\nThis of course will benefit the developers who want the school sites for condos\, and it is a major statewide land grab backed by the Democratic Party and their funders. It is time to call a halt to the destruction of the Port of Oakland and reject any corrupt deal with scam artist Fisher. We need to demand a halt to any closures and for full funding of the schools\, but this will not happen without mass worker\, community action. Workers have the power to shut Oakland and the State down to defend public education and stop privatization. We also need a democratic labor party that will stand up for our schools and Port instead of implementing the billionaire’s agenda. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe time is NOW!\nSTOP The Corrupt GAP A’s Fisher Deal at The Port & STOP The Shutdown of Our Public Schools!
