At our last meeting, our members unanimously voted to boycott Starbucks stores until a fair contract for the workers is met.

Do you have any idea how many 9/11s the US has committed around the world just this year alone? We literally bombed a wedding, and you wonder why people hate us so much that they're willing to sacrifice themselves to fly planes into buildings?

Workers deserve more. 🍞 🧐 Imagine taking a day off from work in a future without capitalism. You work as much as you are able and no more than needed, and you would control your own labor and see it going to good use. 👀 A better future is possible: program.dsausa.org

"Atlanta has experienced far and away the largest influx of ALRPs in the country, with over 5K various #Flock cameras now blanketing the city. Yet as data released by the FBI shows, the city’s massive web of #surveillance has had virtually zero impact on the APD's ability to solve crime" #deflock

Two weeks ago, the same march was held, with the body count at 118. As of July 20th, it’s 276. This number comes from independent documenter Christian Kunz on Facebook and Substack.
