SUMMARY:Fridays With(out) Fetterman
DESCRIPTION:Fridays Without Fetterman\, every Friday\, noon to 1 pm at 1000 Liberty Avenue\, Pittsburgh\, 15222. It hardly needs to be said how disappointing John Fetterman has been as our senator. It is crucial that we continue to remind him that we sent him to Washington to stand up for our values\, protect our civil and first amendment rights\, and be a bulwark against the tyrannical policies of the Trump regime. Bring a sign and a friend. https://www.mobilize.us/mobilize/event/899611/ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nShare this:\n				Share on Bluesky (Opens in new window)\n				Bluesky

SUMMARY:May Day Strong
DESCRIPTION:May Day (International Workers Day) is being celebrated with two main actions: a nationwide walkout and a local rally/march. \n\n\n\nWalkout: Indivisible\, along with a coalition of over two hundred organizations\, is calling for a day of No Business as Usual. They are asking folks who are in a position to do so not to go to work\, not to go to school (the school walkout is backed by major teacher’s unions)\, and not to purchase anything except at locally owned businesses. The point of this is to flex economic power and send a message to the Trump regime that we will not do business as usual while they trample our rights\, terrorize our communities\, and drag us into a senseless war. \n\n\n\nMay Day Rally and March\, Friday May 1 at 5:30 pm: Join 1Hood\, Casa San Jose\, LCLAA and APALA to rally and march for Workers Over Billionaires\, Immigrants Over ICE\, starting at the United Steelworkers Building\, 60 Boulevard of the Allies\, Pittsburgh\, PA 15222. \n\n\n\nhttps://www.mobilize.us/mayday/event/934091 \n\n\n\nWhile marching in the streets won’t get billionaires to pay their fair share or get ICE agents off our streets\, solidarity events like this are a first step to create the momentum we need to organize our communities and work together to fight for a city where everyone can thrive.  Bring a friend\, coworker\, partner\, family member\, or neighbor – our collective energy is powerful.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShare this:\n				Share on Bluesky (Opens in new window)\n				Bluesky

SUMMARY:De-ICE Citizens Bank National Day of Action - Pittsburgh South Hills
DESCRIPTION:Join Partners For Progress SWPA and the Unitarian Universalist Church of the South Hills\, along with thousands of people across the country on Saturday\, June 6th to send Citizens Bank a clear message: financing The GEO Group and CoreCivic\, operators of private prison and immigration detention facilities\, is bad for business. \n\n\n\nPlease note: for the safety of attendees\, the exact South Hills location will be provided only to individuals who register for the event. \n\n\n\nPlease bring signs specific to this action: De-ICE Citizens Bank; Cages Aren’t Communities; Citizens Bank – Stop Financing ICE Prisons; Citizens Bank + ICE = Human Rights Abuse; ICE Prisons Don’t Strengthen Our Communities; Citizens Bank – Cut Ties With ICE Prisons; etc. \n\n\n\nCitizens Bank is bankrolling the country’s two largest prison companies that are earning record profits operating dozens of ICE detention facilities. While most major banks have cut ties with CoreCivic and The GEO Group\, Citizens Bank is deepening its financial support for these companies\, which are already holding more than half of the 70\,000 immigrants currently in ICE detention centers across the country. \n\n\n\nThe bank’s capital is supporting a deplorable ICE agenda that aims to fill detention centers with more than 100\,000 people by next year. Even as it publicly touts its commitment to “strengthening our communities\,” Citizens Bank has played a key role in helping The GEO Group and CoreCivic access more than $2.5 billion in financing\, some of it approved earlier this year. This comes as the companies face a mountain of allegations\, including forced labor and wrongful deaths due to understaffing and medical neglect at their facilities. \n\n\n\nWe won’t quietly stand by as Citizens continues to finance the private prison & ICE detention companies that are harming our communities. The 2019 exodus of banks from the industry in response to activism should be a reminder to us that our voices matter. Now it’s time to use them. Visit www.de-icecitizensbank.org for more information and other actions you can take! \n\n\n\nRemember\, we want to be in solidarity with workers including bank branch employees. Treat everyone with respect and do not harass or film employees. \n\n\n\nA core principle behind all Coalition events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values. We expect hosts to ensure all participants in your event uphold this commitment. We recommend all participants review a safety and security resource before your event\, such as https://indivisi.org/safety. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nShare this:\n				Share on Bluesky (Opens in new window)\n				Bluesky
