General Strike, San Francisco, Monday, May 9, 2016

We, the people, invite you to join us for an unprecedented historical moment: a general strike of San Francisco this Monday, May 9, 2016. In honor of the Frisco Five Hunger Strikers and against SFPD killings of our brothers, we urge you to strike from work and school and to boycott any corporate restaurant eating and purchasing.

The time is ripe, and your action is needed now. Because of the Mayor’s unwillingness to fire corrupt police chief Suhr, the Frisco Five have been forced to prolong their hunger strike and have now all been hospitalized. It is time for all of us to action with honor, courage, and sacrifice for those who no longer have a voice, like Alex Nieto, Amilcar Perez Lopez, Mario Woods, and Luis Gongora Pat, all unlawfully killed by SFPD.

Instead of going to work or school, join us to peacefully picket in front of San Francisco City Hall starting at 8:00 a.m. Striking for a righteous cause is nothing new. Gandhi led the Swadeshi movement for Indian self-sufficiency. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Rosa Parks helped lead the Montgomery Bus Boycott against segregation. For farmworkers’ rights, Cesar Chavez, Dolores Huerta, and the United Farm Workers held strikes against grapes and Safeway stores. Striking is a successful strategy that all of us can contribute to for the sake of justice.

Wear red and black in honor of our fallen brother Alex Nieto.

§5/6/16 33 Arrested at SF City Hall

33 people were arrested at the San Francisco Deputy Sheriffs' riot at SF City Hall on 5/6/16 where people called for the firing of Police Chief Suhr or the firing of Mayor Lee or both. In no story so far is there an announcement of an order to disperse from City Hall, and allowing people to leave before being arrested. Keep in mind these are all unarmed protesters, mostly young people, and mostly far thinner than the bulging deputy sheriffs. City Hall has been run by and for the Democratic Party, the twin of the Republican Party, since 1960. Hopefully, all the protesters are registered Peace & Freedom or Green, the only 2 anti-police state parties. For photos, videos and story
