It was such a pleasure to learn about the history of the Vets Hall, a venue I absolutely love here in Santa Cruz. You might not expect it, but there is such a rich leftist history embedded in the walls of that space, from both the punks and veterans who've called it home.

My latest writing, for the Bay Area Current! Check it out here:

The Santa Cruz Veterans Hall is an example of what urban public space can look like: a place where DIY culture meets veteran community support—underwritten by the county government. @Becsgross explores how this decades-old space has survived and thrived.

We've learned a lot from our comrades at U-Mich & their 2023 strike. Here, they write about the fight for 12-month funding, which they won after a 5 month strike. This is a demand central to our current bargaining campaign, and we too can win it. Read on to find out how:

Wasn’t gonna vote but then I saw a Canary Mission ad about how he shouted out the Holy Land 5 in a rap song which forced my hand. Let’s get this rent freeze

Zohran’s victory is an earthquake. The left everywhere must dedicate itself to an insurgency against Dem incumbents. The Dem establishment has lost credibility w/ its base in the face of fascist threat. The base is looking leftward for new leadership. We are the opposition party.

Solidarity request! We're fundraising to support our international worker comrade whose visa was revoked by the Trump administration in April. While his visa has been reinstated, we are trying to raise $500 to support his lost wages and legal fees by this Thursday, June 12. [1/5]

The Santa Cruz tendency, in a nutshell

[UCSC4COLA @payusmoreucsc]

Power is not a dashboard metric, a spectacle, or a performance for the boss to see. Power is a deep structure of rank-and-file workers committed to wielding it through strike action. (10/14)

[UCSC4COLA @payusmoreucsc]

Workers of UAW 4811 might soon anticipate a triumphant announcement from their bargaining team (BT) lauding the “win” as they pushed the UC to commit to “open bargaining.” Those workers should be wary of any double-speak. 🧵(1/14)

One year ago today, UC academic workers walked off the job, joining the wave of Palestine solidarity activism across US universities.

We demanded our employer divest from war profiteering and the genocide in Palestine, commit to (1/4)

Proud to be among those who signed this letter. Free Mahmoud Khalil!

2000+ Jewish professors, staff, students circulating letter on Mahmoud Khalil's arrest:

"We hold various views…But we are united in denouncing…anyone who invokes our name—and cynical claims of antisemitism—to harass, expel, arrest, or deport members of our campus communities."

[Grad Employees' Org UMich @geo3550]

GRAD WORKERS: University admin are more empowered than ever to assault your rights to organize towards better working conditions, which includes freedoms to demand divestment from genocide. This cannot go on--we must fight back!!!
