Movement for Justice in El Barrio Denounces 125th St. Gentrification Plan

Movement for Justice in El Barrio | March 10th, 2008—Today, the City Planning Commission will vote on a rezoning plan that seeks to gentrify 125th St. and the surrounding blocks from Broadway to Second Avenue. Although we are not directly affected by this proposal, as Movement for Justice in El Barrio, community members of East Harlem, we are against the plans that the city government has to displace poor families from their homes. The project that they have for 125th St. would displace humble, poor, and African American families from their homes and from the space that belongs to their community. This project would allow for buildings of 29-stories, create 2,000 market rate condominiums, and possibly push out 70 small businesses and their 975 workers. We know that with all this “development,” the rent prices will continue to go up and low-income families will be pushed from their homes and be forced out of their neighborhood. more...  1 Comments

ILWU to Shut Down West Coast Ports May 1 Demanding End to War in Iraq, Afghanistan

Internationalist Group | In a major step for the U.S. labor movement, the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) has announced that it will shut down West Coast ports on May 1, to demand an immediate end to the war and occupation in Iraq and Afghanistan and the withdrawal of U.S. troops from the Middle East. This is the first time in decades that an American union has decided to undertake industrial action against a U.S. war. The action announced by the powerful West Coast dock workers union, to stop work to stop the war, should be taken up by unions and labor organizations throughout the United States and internationally. And the purpose of such actions should be not to beg the bourgeois politicians whose hands are covered with blood, having voted for every war budget for six and a half years, but a show of strength of the working people who make this country run, and who can shut it down! more...  1 Comments
