CONSCIOUSNES & UNITY
All out on May Day- International Worker's Day

Unión del Barrio makes this call to all organized sectors of our community to unite this May 1st, International Worker's Day, to demand respect for the rights of all working class people and build the global workers struggle for justice, dignity, and self-determination.       
 
We recognize that the current economic crisis has its root in the rotten capitalist system which is attempting to pay for its own failures on the backs of working people everywhere. As working people we must not continue to pay for this economic crisis, because we did not create it; on the contrary we produce and generate the wealth for those that exploit our labor, criminalize our ability to work and our ability to collectively bargain to improve our working conditions.

On this Sunday, May 1st it is time to join workers and hold actions, discussions, marches, protests, rallies, in your community, town, or city.

Join Unión del Barrio in the following actions in Southern California!

----ESPAÑOL----

CONCIENCIA Y UNIDAD
Todas y Todos a Movilizar para el 1o de Mayo
Día Internacional de los y las Trabajadoras/es

Unión del Barrio hace este llamado a todos los sectores organizados de nuestra comunidad a unirse a las actividades del 1o de Mayo, Día Internacional de los y las trabajadores y trabajadoras, para exigir respeto por los derechos de toda/o trabajador/a aquí (dentro del imperio yanqui) y através del mundo en esta lucha por la justicia, la dignidad y la auto-determinación.  

Reconocemos que la actual crisis económica surge de la base del sistema capitalista que actualmente impone  la carga de su crisis- porque ellos la crearon- sobre los hombros de la clase trabajador. Mientras las y los trabajadoras/es han sido la clase que produce riqueza y ganancia con nuestro trabajo, las grandes empresas y sus gobiernos crean políticas y leyes que explota nuestra mano de obra, la criminalizan y nos niegan nuestro derecho a negociar contratos de manera colectiva para mejorar nuestras condiciones de trabajo.  

Este 1o de mayo es necesario a que todo quien cree en la justicia social a unirse con las distintas actividades, sean protestas, marchas, diálogos, mítines, en sus comunidades, pueblos o ciudades.

 
Les invitamos a todas y todos en la área del Sur de California a que se unan a las siguientes actividades.

San Diego, CA
Mitin en Parque Chicano y Marcha al Centro Cívico
11am Mitin- 1pm Marcha- Parque Chicano (2100 Logan Ave., San Diego, CA 92113)
3pm- Centro Cívico (1100 3rd Ave., San Diego, CA 92101)

[SDCPJ] Sun. 7 pm May 1st ; A Play by HOWARD ZINN,,Dramatic Reading of "Marx in Soho"

PLEASE FORWARD

This event is sponsored by the Socialist Unity Network ,
and endorsed by DSA, Freedom Road and Activist San Diego.

A Play by HOWARD ZINN Dramatic Reading of Marx in Soho Sunday 7 pm May 1st

Humorous and stimulating!

Howard Zinn (1922-2010) is the author of the classic 'A People's History of the United States' wrote this play.  In it Marx is back! The premise of this witty and insightful "play on history" is that Karl Marx has agitated with the authorities of the afterlife for a chance to clear his name. Through a bureaucratic error, though, Marx is sent to Soho in New York, rather than his old stomping ground in London, to make his case. Marx in Soho is a brilliant introduction to Marx's life, his analysis of society, and his passion for radical change. Zinn also shows how Marx's ideas are relevant in today's world with capitalism in crisis and labor is under attack, needing to organize.

This event is sponsored by the Socialist Unity Network and endorsed by DSA, FRSO and Activist San Diego.

Donations gladly accepted.

[SDCPJ] Answer to the Federal Budget Crisis

Is Washington serious about the federal budget?  The $38.5 billion in cuts will deprive Americans of desperately needed health, education and housing; but will not even dent the massive federal budget or deficit.    Want to solve the federal budget?  By far, the largest discretionary spending by Washington is military and war.    As of April 9, 2011, 8:00 PM Pacific time, your tax dollars at work destruction:    Cost of U.S. Wars Since 2001 $1,177,836,071,473 Cost of War in Iraq $783,936,300,770 Cost of War in Afghanistan $393,899,770,702 See the cost to your community at www.costofwar.com Source: National Priorities Project   AND THIS INCREASES AT $326,000 EVERY MINUTE.  THIS WILL EAT THROUGH $38.5 BILLION IN 82 DAYS.  And this does not include Libya.   Let your Congress representative know: You want an end to this.

[SDCPJ] Memorial Service information for Ken Secor

Brothers and Sisters:

 

Below, please find Ken Secor's obituary and information about his memorial service on April 23rd.  Ken's spirit and energy touched so many of us, both in and out of the San Diego Labor Movement; we hope you will be able to join his friends and family in honoring his memory.

Kenneth Edward Secor June 9, 1928-March 25, 2011 Born in Calistoga, CA. Ken joined the US Navy when he was 17 years old. While in the Navy he traveled through numerous countries, including Egypt and Greece. Those experiences triggered a lifelong interest in travel and archeology. After the Navy, at the age of 21, Ken worked as a Machinist for Wright Aeronautical and then Convair/General Dynamics. Soon after starting at Wright Aeronautical he became interested in helping the working man. He earned honors and awards as a volunteer before becoming a business agent union rep for the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, where he worked until his retirement at the age of 58. He wrote his family and friends recently that he was so happy that he retired young so he could enjoy his family and travel. He continued to welcome every opportunity to volunteer to help the workers of America, as well as his family and friends. He was on his way home from his latest trip, when he suddenly became ill, and passed away in Incheon, Korea. He is survived by his wife Louise; their six children: Mike, Steve, Mary, Margi, Don, and Anita; seven grandchildren: Nathan, Shawna, Chris, Serena, Katie, Kelly, and Lilli; three great grandchildren: Christian, Isabella, and Jacob; his brother Ron and sister Alyce; and his little dog Canelita. In life, Ken inspired people with his spirit of adventure, loyalty, and generosity. Now that he has passed, we can honor him by pursuing commitments that enrich our lives and inspiring others the way Ken inspired us.

 

Friends and Family are invited to attend a Memorial service on Saturday, April 23rd, 2011, at 1pm at The First Baptist Church on 5th and E Street in Chula Vista. In lieu of flowers, please consider a contribution to the United Farm Workers Association or the Red Cross.

San Diego State University

Ann Wright is an American peace activist who spent thirteen years in the U.S. Army and sixteen additional years in the Army Reserves, retiring as a Colonel.

On March 19, 2003, the eve of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, Ann Wright cabled a letter of resignation to Secretary of State Colin Powell, stating that without the authorization of the UN Security Council, the invasion and occupation of a Muslim, Arab, oil-rich country would be ...a violation of international law. Since then, she has been writing and speaking out for peace. She fasted for a month, picketed at Guantánamo, served as a juror in impeachment hearings, traveled to Iran as a citizen diplomat, and has been arrested numerous times for peaceful, nonviolent protest of Bush's policies, particularly the war on Iraq.

Ann Wright has been on delegations to Iran and was in Gaza three times in 2009, following the Israeli attack on Gaza that killed 1,440 and wounded 5,000. She was an organizer for the Gaza Freedom March that brought 1,350 persons from 44 countries to Cairo, Egypt, in solidarity with the people of Gaza. She was on the May, 2010 Gaza flotilla that was attacked by the Israeli military. She is an organizer for the US Boat to Gaza which will be a part of the next Gaza flotilla that is scheduled to sail in May, 2011.
