NO WAR WITH IRAN!

GBDSA member Iskandar illuminates the interconnection between the struggles of the working class in the US and abroad. When imperialism advances, we all lose. When we realize our struggles are connected and we fight for all of us in the face of capitalist greed, WE WIN 🌹

This past Tuesday, we rallied in the rain to denounce US/Israel attacks on Iran. These attacks are a clear violation of domestic and international law pushing us towards a regional war that would destabilize West Asia, imperil millions of lives, and trigger a global economic crisis.

Since we opened in the early pandemic, we've used a pay-what-you-can model. Folks really do want to pay what they're able and it has consistently balanced out.I think it's created a special environment where customers feel empowered and want to share the love back however they can.It's rare to see owners of a small business live in the community they serve (we used to live above the bakery and now live next door). Seeing many of our customers as neighbors in day to day life has been so meaningful.

Involving customers, in the form of fundraisers, art projects, events, is a great way to see the impact of your actions. If you encounter struggles due to publicly speaking out, let customers know.

Your family sees you as a protector, our families see you as the boogeyman. Our heart is breaking for the humans detained at the Fallon building. For the conditions they endure, dirty and overcrowded. It's not normal. Use your soul and speak out against what's happening, any way you can.

Bob, thank you for saying no. What an incredible act of love for your community. Thank you for using your power to stop the machine that kidnaps our neighbors and spits them out far away. Thank you for saying not in your neighborhood. We don't want to bring hate and death here. Thank you for your courage, because of you we feel relief instead of fear.

Our collective efforts against ICE are working. We must keep pushing. While the Department of Homeland Security attempts to place concentration camps all over the country, we have the power to stop them. Just this week, public pressure resulted in a victory in Howard County. on february 2nd, emergency legislation revoked a building permit in Elkridge to convert an office park warehouse into a concentration camp.

Recently, video leaked showing conditions in Baltimore City's Fallon Federal Building, sparking an almost immediate protest effort that culminated at a massive rally and march last Friday. Over 18k letters have been sent so far as part of our campaign demanding public officials shut down this facility, prosecute the perpetrators, vocally support and work toward abolishing ICE. One of the letter campaign’s demands is the ban of 287(g) agreements. A bill prohibiting and ending 287(g) agreements with state employee and agencies just passed today, February 3rd, as emergency legislation.

This fight is far from over. The bill banning 287(g) agreements does not explicitly prevent law enforcement officers from working with ICE. And a concentration camp is planned for Hagerstown, MD. State Delegate Schindler has introduced HB630, a bill which would prohibit the use of buildings not originally designed for detention as immigration detention facilities.
