DESCRIPTION:Protecting Your People: From Flint to San Jose\n\nJoin CHAM Deliverance 
 Ministry, Women's Economic Agenda Project, Silicon Valley Debug, San Jose 
 Silicon Valley NAACP, and Working Partnerships USA for a teach-in with 
 Claire McClinton of the Flint Democracy Defense League.\n\nMs. McClinton is 
 the retired auto worker and lifelong resident of Flint, Michigan featured 
 in the recent ACLU documentary "Here's to Flint" 
 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7ULFSaMooA&feature=youtu.be) seen on 
 Democracy Now. She will speak about her experiences fighting for the lives 
 of the people of Flint poisoned by the corporate dictatorship imposed by 
 Michigan's Emergency Manager law.\n\nWe should not think it could not 
 happen to us, or happen here. The miserable treatment of service workers 
 and low-income communities in Silicon Valley is exactly similar to the 
 evils done to the people of Michigan, by the same kind of corporations and 
 for the same reasons. One example is San Jose City Council's recent refusal 
 to honor the desperate demands of its people for significant rent relief. 
 Those that the system has no use for, it discards and sacrifices with the 
 most shocking and callous disregard for the value of human life. It is time 
 for all of us to say (along with the unjustly imprisoned Rev. Edward 
 Pinkney of Benton Harbor, Michigan): Enough is enough!\n\nSpeaking:\n- 
 Keynote: Claire McClinton from Flint Democracy Defense League and Speakers 
 for a New America\n- Leaders from Silicon Valley Renters Rights Coalition, 
 Silicon Valley Rising, and Women's Economic Agenda Project\n- CHAM Mercy
