Discuss how to build solidarity and what lessons we can learn from this struggle\, and show support across the globe. \nBring a co-worker\, friend\, or classmate and let’s spread the word wide! \n* * * \nOver 30\,000 West Virginia teachers and school personnel remain on strike. While union leaders and Governor Justice announced a deal on Tuesday night\, rank-and-file teachers have insisted that the core issues\, most notably rising healthcare costs\, remain unresolved. After meetings and discussions across the state\, all 55 counties remain out. Meanwhile\, the state legislature has tabled legislation to resolve the strike into next week. Solidarity across West Virginia has been immense: teachers have made sure that students who rely on free meals at school are fed and families have turned up in support of their teachers. Thousands of defiant workers remain in the Capitol building to press for their demands. \nBut a near blackout by mainstream media means that we need to build solidarity with the strikers beyond West Virginia. In a moment when Janus threatens to break the back of the unions\, the rank-and-file workers of West Virginia are showing another way forward. #55united #solidarityforever \nDonate to the strike fund set up by local activists\, please visit here: https://www.gofundme.com/wv-teachers-strike-fund \nSponsored by International Socialist Organization\, Jacobin Magazine\, Labor Notes\, the NYC-DSA Labor Branch\, and the MORE caucus of the United Federation of Teachers. \nEndorsed by Labor for Palestine and Labor for Standing Rock.

We support Mayor Pro Tem Dwaine Carraway’s call for the NRA to move it’s upcoming convention to another city\, and urge Mayor Mike Rawlings and other city council members to speak out and do the same. This dangerous organization’s agenda has brought on the crisis of mass shootings in our country\, yet they continue to distort the conversation on sensible gun control\, even after the latest school shooting in Parkland\, Florida. The NRA has no place in our city. \nJoin our CALL TO ACTION below! \nFirst\, sign our petition so that the city of Dallas can see/feel our power in numbers:\nhttp://bit.ly/NoNRAInDallas \nFrom 2 to 4 p.m.\, reach out to Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings and your city council by phone\, email\, social media\, or any relevant communication tool and let them know that the NRA should not be allowed to use our city’s convention center. Here is where you can contact them at: \nMayor: Michael S. Rawling\, 214-670-3301 \nCouncil District 1: Scott Griggs\, scott.griggs@dallascityhall.com 214-670-0776 \nCouncil District 2: Adam Medrano\, adam.medrano@dallascityhall.com 214-670-4048 \nCouncil District 3: Case Thomas II\, richard.soto@dallascityhall.com 214-670-0772 \nCouncil District 4: Dwaine Caraway\, District4@DallasCityHall.com 214-670-5117 \nCouncil District 5: Rickey D. Callahan\, rick.callahan@dallascityhall.com 214-670-4052 \nCouncil District 6: Omar Narvaez\, Laura.Cadena@dallascityhall.com 214-670-6931 \nCouncil District 7: Kevin Felder\, district7@dallascityhall.com 214-670-4689 \nCouncil District 8: Tennell Atkins\, maria.salazar2@dallascityhall.com 214-670-4066 \nCouncil District 9: Mark Clayton\, emily.worland@dallascityhall.com 214-670-4069 \nCouncil District 10: Adam McGough\, adam.mcgough@dallascityhall.com 214-670-4068 \nCouncil District 11: Lee Kleinman\, sophia.figueroa@dallascityhall.com 214-670-7817 \nCouncil District 12: Sandy Greyson\, sandy.greyson@dallascityhall.com 214-670-4067 \nCouncil District 13: Jennifer S. Gates\, jennifer.gates@dallascityhall.com 214-670-7057 \nCouncil District 14: Philip Kingston\, Philip.Kingston@dallascityhall.com 214-670-5415 \nIf you are not sure who is your council representative\, you can find that information here with your name and birth date: \nhttp://www.dallascountyvotes.org/voter-lookup/#VoterEligibilitySearch \nLastly\, share this with 5 friends or family members and urge to do the same so we can build the momentum needed to stop the NRA from arriving in Dallas! \nHere’s language you can use: \nThe NRA’s singular focus on gun sales has put the lives of Americans in danger. No place is safe from mass gun violence because the NRA has bullied our government into submission\, to a point where even researching gun violence is prohibited\, let alone sensible gun controls. \nFor these reasons\, we do not want the NRA in Dallas. We stand with Mayor Pro Tem I Dwaine Carraway in rejecting the NRA\, and urge Mayor Mike Rawlings and the Dallas City Council to do everything in their power to keep the NRA out of Dallas.

Already two federal courts have found that the county’s practice of keeping people accused of minor crimes in jail because they can’t afford to buy their freedom violates the Constitution. Just this week\, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the judgement of a lower court. As the commissioners consider their next step\, we want to remind them that we\, their constituents\, want them to stop wasting our tax money on defending this lawsuit and on jailing people because they’re poor. \nSign up to join us at https://goo.gl/forms/JmqPcr3qvwRVTmw43 URL:http://northtexasactivist.com/event/drop-the-bail-lawsuit/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:http://northtexasactivist.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/facebook_event_1397097727068650.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20180220T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20180220T210000 DTSTAMP:20260423T213714 CREATED:20180219T182818Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180219T182818Z UID:2629-1519153200-1519160400@northtexasactivist.com SUMMARY:Post Card Pop Up Party!
