Join us on Wednesday, September 2nd at 5 pm for a discussion in South Florida about how we can fight for & actually win the things we need.

Federal prosecutors have charged 15 Minnesota activists for their participation in the struggle against ICE’s violent occupation of the Twin Cities. The operation, dubbed “Operation Metro Surge,” directly killed two people, detained thousands, assaulted thousands more, and, according to Human Rights Watch, “caused a human rights crisis” in Minnesota.
These arrests represent an attack on the broader movement that resisted ICE. They are an attempt to roll back the confidence and power built by the hundreds of thousands of people who took action against ICE’s repression. Crucially, the Trump administration is also seeking to restore a climate of fear and silence the lessons of that struggle.
The Minnesota 15 are accused of taking actions intended to impede ICE operations. But stopping ICE from carrying out detentions and repression was at the heart of the broader struggle against Operation Metro Surge. The fightback in the Twin Cities reached an unprecedented level, which is precisely why the administration is now attempting to push the movement back.
Just as mass mobilization and collective strike action helped force an end to Operation Metro Surge, mass action will be necessary to respond to these prosecutions. We need a coordinated public defense campaign for the Minnesota 15, alongside mass democratic meetings that bring together activists, union members, and immigrant communities to discuss the next steps.

Hundreds of student organizers from around the country gathered to discuss how we can combat surveillance & repression on our campuses. We left feeling energized & with concrete plans to begin organizing on our campuses across the country next semester. If you’re ready to get organized & join the fight back, join us!

Puerto Rico is surrounded by water, yet hundreds of thousands of people are being told to ration it. This is not just a drought. It is the predictable result of decades of austerity, and a political system that has treated basic public services as an afterthought. While families go days without reliable running water, officials admit the island’s aging system has been allowed to deteriorate for years. While working class Puerto Ricans pay the price, the politicians who created this crisis ask people to be patient. Access to clean water is not a privilege. It is a basic human necessity. Puerto Rico deserves massive public investment to rebuild its water infrastructure under democratic public ownership and workers’ oversight, not more excuses. The people who keep Puerto Rico running should not have to fight for something as basic as turning on the tap!

Many business owners we spoke to have a plan for ICE raids but most workers had not considered the significance of getting organized to go on the offensive against ICE. We described our experiences successfully organizing in our workplaces and encouraged others to do the same. The businesses that agreed to hang our signs in their windows were receptive to our ideas & we made several significant worker contacts which we plan to meet with for one on one organizing conversations

Meta says its new Workforce Academy is about creating opportunity. But by partnering with one of the country’s most aggressive anti-union construction organizations, it’s also shaping what kind of jobs those opportunities will become.
Workers deserve more than a five-week crash course that funnels them into low-road employers. They deserve union apprenticeships, safe working conditions, family-sustaining wages, and a real voice on the job.
The AI boom is creating billions in profits. The question is whether it will create good union jobs, or another race to the bottom.
That’s why we’re organizing a South Florida Workers Assembly: to bring together construction workers, teachers, farm workers, students, and community members to build solidarity, support workplace organizing, and fight for working-class control over the future of AI

These raids are only possible because of cooperation between ICE and local law enforcement through programs like 287(g). Waiting for the next election or hoping the courts will solve this crisis won’t stop deportations. Real change comes when ordinary working people organize to take collective action!
