4/1: Why Is the Stop Asian Hate Movement Following the Lead of Zionists and Police?
Two groups affiliated with Stop Asian Hate raise questions about its affinities for carceral state power and Zionism.
Dylan Rodríguez - TRUTHOUT
....By contrast, Stop Asian Hate’s state-focused liberal social justice orientations hinge on a redemptive political fantasy: a reformed U.S. nation-building project in which police power, criminal jurisprudence, public policy and earnest carceral state actors (including elected officials and prosecutors) strengthen and expand the state’s obligation to protect people of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) descent from “hate,” “hate crimes,” “hate incidents,” and other forms of racial animus....

5/3: A federally-subsidized crackdown on antiwar protests
Stephen Semler
Fully aware of the increasingly violent crackdowns on students and teachers protesting his enabling of Israel’s genocide against Palestinians, Biden greenlit an even harsher police response this week. On Tuesday, Biden smeared the campus protests as antisemitic, violent, and unlawful. For university administrators on the fence about escalating the use of force against their own students and faculty, Biden’s comments could have only nudged them one way....

5/29: Ethnic minorities in US forced to work in low-paying jobs, face challenges of forced labor, racial discrimination
By Liu Xin, Xing Xiaojing and Fan Anqi - Global Times
What is the 24-hour workday system compared to its 8-hour counterpart? Ning Zishun from the Chinese Staff and Workers’ Association, a community organization in New York, said that as New York is the cultural and financial hub of the US, the city's current laws have significant loophole - there is no upper limit on working hours, which means that employers can legally implement 24-hour work days seven days a week, a feature also present in many high-tech industries.....

CALL TO ACTION!Monday August 19 Join Immigrant Contingent for Democratic National Convention in Chicago in 2024!12PM Monday August 19 - Union Park 1501 W. Randolph St Chicago, ILhttps://www.immigrantsolidarity.org/DNC2024.html
National Immigrant Solidarity Network is calling for immigrant contingent for the August 19th DNC march at Chicago, IL, organized by The March on the DNC coalition, please join us!If You Can Come to Chicago, Offer Help, Please Contact: ActivistWeb@gmail.comVolunteer | Car Pooling | Join Our Immigrant Contingent | Useful Tool/Link
Organized by The March on the DNC Coalitionhttps://www.marchondnc2024.orgThe March on the DNC coalition fights for the rights and liberation of oppressed people and against the exploitation of workers. Beginning on August 19th 2024, we will march on the Democratic National Convention in Chicago to bring the people's agenda to within sight and sound of the Democratic Party leadership.We recognize the Democratic Party as a tool of billionaires and corporations.Their actions, such as financing genocide in Palestine and war in multiple countries; continuing the mass incarceration of Black and brown people; deporting millions of immigrants; and neglecting campaign promises made to the oppressed communities who represent their voting base, show that the Democratic Party only serves the agenda of the rich and powerful. Recent gains in the rights of oppressed people have been made by grassroots organizations in spite of a lack of support and often outright opposition from Democratic Party leaders.History has proven what Frederick Douglass once said:“power concedes nothing without a demand.”We are calling on other grassroots organizations that are fighting for exploited and oppressed people to unite with us as we take the demands of the people to the Democratic Party in August 2024.

Useful Immigrant Resources on Detention and Deportation
Immigrants and their supporters are participating in marches all over the country to protest proposed national legislation and to seek justice for immigrants. The materials available here provide important information about the rights and risks involved for anyone who is planning to participate in the ongoing marches.
If government agents question you, it is important to understand your rights. You should be careful in the way you speak when approached by the police, FBI, or INS. If you give answers, they can be used against you in a criminal, immigration, or civil case.
The ACLU's publications below provide effective and useful guidance in several languages for many situations. The brochures apprise you of your legal rights, recommend how to preserve those rights, and provide guidance on how to interact with officials.
