SUMMARY:ICE Out of Federal Workplaces / All Workplaces
DESCRIPTION:(Action) \n(Info from Federal Unionists Network) \nFederal unionists in the Bay Area invite the public to join us to demand public oversight of ICE\, an end to ICE raids in all workplaces and dignity for all in federal buildings!\nICE is targeting the most vulnerable members of our society at their own workplaces and at ours. As federal workers witnessing these abuses\, we’ve been asked to look the other way. But\, we will not. \nFederal Workers Take a Stand\nThe Trump administration is weaponizing federal law enforcement against immigrants\, union leaders\, and communities—turning public buildings into detention centers and workplaces into sites of fear.\nWe didn’t take an oath to enforce fear. We took an oath to serve the public.\nThat’s why federal workers across the country are rising up—to defend our communities\, our coworkers\, and the Constitution. \nWHAT WE DEMAND\nICE Out of Our Workplaces—And All Workplaces\n*Our workplaces are not jails. No one should be arrested while seeking services or doing their job.\n*Keep Public Buildings Safe for All\nPublic spaces should be welcoming—not weaponized against the very people they are meant to serve.\n*Protect the Right to Speak Out\nDrop all charges against union leader David Huerta and put back to work all EPA workers who were targeted for exercising their First Amendment rights.\n*End ICE Raids and Military Force in Civilian Communities\nWe reject the use of federal power to terrorize immigrant families and communities of color.\n*Justice in Our Courts\nStop the fast-tracked deportations that deny due process. End the inhumane detention of immigrants navigating the legal immigration system. \nWHO WE ARE \nWe are the Federal Unionists Network (FUN)—a growing movement of federal workers organizing to protect democracy\, uphold human rights\, and ensure the civil service works in the public interest. We serve the people\, not political agendas.\nWe know our oath.\nNow we’re taking a stand. \nJOIN US. STAND WITH US\nFederalUnionists.net\nTogether\, we can build a government that works for all—and stands with all. \n#ICEOut #FUNonTheMove #WorkersDefendingWorkers

SUMMARY:Berkeley Radical 60s Walk by Harvey Smith
DESCRIPTION:10:00 AM Meet at St. Joseph the Worker Church – 1640 Addison Street\, west of McGee Avenue\, Berkeley \nWalk with Harvey Smith\nThe McGee-Spaulding District could be considered a hotbed of Berkeley 1960s radicalism and counterculture given the number of noted activists and alternative living communities located in the neighborhood.

We will briefly explore the political and social roots of these causes\, the intervening backlash\, and the lasting influence of the counterculture movements of the ‘60s. \nThe route is entirely level and wheelchair accessible. \nHere is a link to Harvey Smith’s book – http://www.arcadiapublishing.com/9781467132398/Berkeley-and-the-New-Deal. Follow the Living New Deal by signing up to receive occasional updates. Join LND’s Email List.

SUMMARY:Labor History Bike Tour – by Chris Carlsson of Shaping San Francisco
DESCRIPTION:Tour starts at 518 Valencia St. near 16th St. (about 4 hours of tour)\nTour ends at Spear and Market. \nLabor History Bike Tour by Chris Carlsson (Shaping San Francisco)\nFrom the pre-urban history of Indian Slavery to the earliest 8-hour day movement in the U.S.\, the ebb and flow of class war is traced. SF’s radical working-class organizations are shaped in part by racist complicity in genocide and slavery\, but from the 1870s to the 1940s there are dozens of epic battles between owners and workers\, culminating in the 1934 General Strike and its aftermath. This is an entirely different look\, during a four-hour bike tour\, at San Francisco labor history. \nShaping San Francisco is asking for a donation of $25~$50.\n(Donation goes to Shaping San Francisco)\n(Limited capacity\, RSVP required. Please contact: shaping@foundsf.org\nFor more information: (415) 608-9035.\nRSVP required: shaping@foundsf.org

SUMMARY:Bloody Thursday Walk – By Gifford Hartman
DESCRIPTION:Meet at Harry Bridges Plaza south side Tower – Embarcadero at Market St.\, SF \nWalk with Gifford Hartman (about 2 hours) \nNinety-one years ago (1934)\, a great battle took place between striking workers and the police and National Guard along the waterfront alongside the piers of San Francisco’s Embarcadero. We will look at the causes of the 1934 General Strike\, why it was successful\, and how the issues from that strike are still relevant to working class people today. The current movement against police murder of black and brown people can draw lessons from the way strikers invited black workers into their ranks to prevent racist exclusion from breaking their strike. We explain how an 83-day West Coast Waterfront Strike exploded into the 4-day General Strike that paralyzed all commerce in San Francisco. This tour will visit the sites of those events.

SUMMARY:Stop AI Exploitation of Drivers
DESCRIPTION:(Action Notice)\nLINK to this event – UBER Stop Using AI To Impose Slave Labor Conditions! Gig Drivers Rally & March to UBER HQ In SF \nWhere: 74 Mission Rock St\, at parking lot A & Pier 48\, San Francisco\nTime: July 1\, 10:30 AM \nDeactivations cost drivers our livelihoods — and our lives. Activate Respect is a nationwide campaign from an alliance of drivers and organizers around the country. Drivers from across the country are joining together to win new rules about when Uber can cut drivers off from their jobs. To succeed in the mission\, they are demanding transparency in deactivation decisions\, fairness through non-discriminatory treatment\, and valid options available for appealing deactivations. They have won new laws and forced Uber to acknowledge safety issues\, but they know they have more power when they fight together. \nEveryone – including people who work on apps like Uber\, Lyft\, DoorDash\, and Instacart – should have a living wage\, transparency on the job\, safe conditions and a voice in your work. \nGig corporations leave workers like you entirely on your own\, grinding to make ends meet. You have to figure out the apps and their different algorithms\, pay for your own gas\, spend hours waiting for the next ride or batch. If you have a problem on the job\, these corporations are nowhere to be found. \nCEOs are making millions because of the work you do\, while you are left struggling to pay the bills. \nIt doesn’t have to be this way. Everyone deserves to earn enough to build a good life and the freedom to have and enjoy time off the job. \nThese corporations can (and do) ignore individual drivers. But they can’t ignore us all. \nThis action is organized by: Gig Workers Rising \n
