DESCRIPTION:Fight Racist Attacks Against SF City Employees And All Working 
 People\nCommemoration of  Juneteenth At San Francisco City Hall\nStop 
 Systemic Racism and Workplace Bullying At City and County Of San Francisco 
 And All Work Location and the Community\nTuesday June 19th 11:30 AM-1:00 
 PM\n\nJuneteenth  commemorates the June 19, 1865, announcement of the 
 abolition of slavery in the U.S. state of Texas, and  the emancipation of 
 enslaved African-Americans throughout the former Confederacy of the 
 southern United States. Today in the United States over 153 years later,  
 there is an explosion of racist attacks on African Americans including 
 hanging noose incidents and systemic racist discrimination not only in 
 private jobs but in public institutions like and city and county of San 
 Francico, DPH and the SFUSD. The open racist hysteria being whipped up by 
 the Trump administration is spilling over to every community and work 
 location in the United States as African American, Latinos, Asians and 
 immigrants are being targeted and terrorized.\nThe fight against racist 
 discrimination is not just an issue for African American workers but all 
 working people and racism which is a cancer must be exposed fought and 
 eliminated. The privatization and public services is also part parcel of  
 of the union busting and racism that all working people face\n\nThe San 
 Francisco Labor Council has spoken out against the systemic racism and 
 discrimination in the City and County of San Francisco and for the return 
 of SEIU 1021 Potrero Hill Health Center member Cheryl Thornton to her job 
 and this issue will be addressed by the rally as well as the treatment of 
 African American and Latino by the San Francisco police department and 
 other work 
 locations.\nhttp://sflaborcouncil.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/05-14-18ResSptSEIU-1021-Member-Cheryl-Thornton..pdf\nThe 
 continuing killings and lack of prosecution for these deaths must stop and 
 is part and parcel of the what African American people face in San 
 Francisco and the bay area. This is also the 50th anniversary of the San 
 Francisco State Strike which took place for the right of people of color to 
 learn about their history and open admissions and the right of all young 
 people to attend our public colleges. This is now threatened as 
 well.\nPlease join us and speak out for human rights, justice and against 
 workplace bullying and harassment on the job.\nAn Injury To One Is An 
 Injury To All!\nBring your voices and union banners to this important 
 event\n\nTuesday June 19, 2018 12:00 PM Noon\nPolk St Entrance To SF City

 Racism in SF City 
 Departments\nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/2141778816065862/\nSpeak Out 
 Against Racism in SF City Departments\nPublic · Hosted by SEIU Local 
 1021\nTuesday, June 19 at 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM\nSan Francisco City 
 Hall\n\nJoin SEIU 1021 members, allies, and community activists on 
 Juneteeth to condemn racist and discriminatory practices in City 
 departments.\n\nWorkers across the City have spoken out about unfair 
 treatment and unnecessary disciplines against their coworkers and the 
 disproportionate targeting of African American workers. They’ve spoken 
 out about the lack of diversity in some departments, citing that certain 
 ethnicities are hired for particular job types based on racial stereotypes. 
 Others have seen the disproportionate number of African American workers 
 threatened with separation from probation if they did not agree to extend 
 their probation period. We’re demanding an end to these threats and 
 unfair treatment.\n\nRacism and discrimination have no place in our city. 
 That’s why Supervisor Jane Kim has introduced a resolution, co-sponsored 
 by Mayor-Elect London Breed and Supervisor Aaron Peskin, calling for a 
 hearing to get to the systemic issues leading to the unfair treatment of 
 workers of color. Show that you stand against injustice, hate, and 
 ignorance and join us at this action.\n
