West Virginians demonstrate for Palestine ( www.workers.org )

The tone of the chants was very militant, and they often connected the liberation of Palestine with the struggles against racism, national oppression and U.S. [neo]imperialism. Chants included: “Yemen, Yemen, make us proud, turn another ship around,” “From Palestine to Mexico, border walls have got to go,” and “From...

A historic ruling: NCAA ordered to pay student athletes ( www.workers.org )

The NCAA Board of Governors, as well as the parasitic leaders of its five “power conferences” — the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), Big Ten, Big 12, Southeastern Conference (SEC) and Pac-12 — agreed to pay more than $2.8 billion in back pay and damages over the next 10 years to both past and current athletes.

Student encampments continue to demand divestment from apartheid ( www.workers.org )

In response to Yale University students being arrested April 21 in New Haven, Connecticut, for setting up an encampment demanding “no tuition for genocide,” hundreds of supporters have taken to the streets blocking intersections in solidarity with the arrestees....

Leonard Peltier parole hearing update ( www.workers.org )

Leonard was asked about the underlying offenses, but he also had the opportunity to speak about his grandchildren, and his personality and pride really shone through. A massive amount of material was presented, and we hope the hearing examiner has been convinced of the obvious fact that, if released, Leonard is not in danger of...

UAW rank and file demand that their union divest from extermination ( www.workers.org )

The financial argument does not hold water. The UAW has committed $40 million to organize unorganized auto workers. We applaud this commitment and hail the victory at Volkswagen in Chattanooga, Tennessee. However, we find it unacceptable that a union with $40 million to fund organizing cannot part with half a million dollars to...

UC, California courts attempt to shut down student-worker strike ( www.workers.org )

“We call on the California Labor Federation and the entire labor movement to join us in fighting this calculated attack on the right to strike and on the rights of workers everywhere. We remain committed in our opposition to the U.S. war machine and the UC’s vast investments in the industries that support it. We remain...

June 6: Stop funding the NYPD! Shut down the gala! ( www.workers.org )

The gala raises millions for the over-funded NYPD every year, and ticket costs range from $2,500 to $250,000. The Foundation is notoriously shady with their dealings as they don’t disclose their donors. We believe that all individuals and corporations who donate money to the NYPD should be known to the public and held...
