Tell City Council to vote NO to 41.18 EXPANSION! – Tuesday, 8-2, 9:00 AM

August 1, 2022 by Jonathan Leave a Comment

Two corrections:

You can leave a public comment on the council file for 41.18 by going here and clicking NEW.

Kevin de León’s email is councilmember.kevindeleon@lacity.org Repeal 41.18

The community flooded City Hall inside and out last Wednesday to protest the expansion of 41.18 but the fight is not over. Council delayed the vote to Tuesday August 2nd in an attempt to erode our momentum and stifle our voices.

We won’t let that happen. The fight now is to keep the pressure on!! See you tomorrow 9am at City Hall, 200 N Spring St. Bring a friend. RSVP here.

You can help right now by posting a public comment on the council file.

Read more details on the Services Not Sweeps toolkit

The City Council postponed their vote on the 41.18 expansion to August 2nd. If passed, this motion will add approximately 1,900 additional sites–a 376% increase in exclusionary zones across the city. 41.18 would then cover at least 88 sq miles (that’s 20% of the entire city).

Services Not Sweeps is urging EVERYONE to come to City Hall at 9:00am on August 2 and tell City Council that 41.18 is BAD POLICY and should be repealed.

When we fight, we win. 
But this fight isn’t over.

The community flooded City Hall inside and out on Wednesday to protest the expansion of 41.18 but the fight is not over. It’s clear that President Nury Martinez and friends weren’t prepared for our numbers and realized they were unable to rally their (few but loud) 41.18 supporters. Council  delayed the vote to Tuesday August 2nd in an attempt to erode our momentum and stifle our voices. 
 
We won’t let that happen. The fight now is to keep the pressure on and show up next week!! See you next Tuesday 9am. Bring a friend.
 
WHO: You and your friends!
WHERE: City Hall, 200 N Spring St 
WHEN: Tuesday August 2nd at 9:00am
HOW: Read more details on our toolkit.

 💻 EMAIL your council member today to tell them they are wrong in expanding 41.18.
 
 POST a public comment on the council file.
 
📢 SHOW UP to City Hall on the day the Council is set to approve the ordinance, August 2nd, 9:00 am.

Repression Breeds Resistance: Honoring Community O Repression Breeds Resistance: Honoring Community Organizing

We must celebrate and honor that people remain steadfast in their commitment to organize as the US government has continued its mission of fascist dictatorial rule.
The tactics implemented by today’s American fascist dictatorship have long mirrored similar tyrannical tactics throughout history: “repression breeds resistance” is a relevant phrase now more than ever. 

Organizers across the country have demonstrated that this resistance can take many forms and that’s our strength and our beauty as we build community locally and across the country. 

Immigrants, queer & trans people, unhoused people, disabled people, people of color are the primary targets for oppression; however, under a fascist dictatorship, everyone becomes a target so long as you are advocating for basic human rights and not advancing the interests of the ruling class. Militarized police and immigration enforcement systems are created to protect fascists and their cronies from the pain and suffering they’re responsible for as they exploit the people’s wealth and resources. To protect the wealthy and politically elite, advancements must be made technologically and financially. Surveillance of pro-people movements have become widespread across the nation. Private security and local law enforcement agencies expanded, and the budget for the immigration and customs enforcement agency (ICE) spiked thanks to Trump’s Big Fascist Bill which rose from roughly $10 billion to a whopping $80 billion. When a country operates as a private enterprise for the exclusive profit of the ruling class, a core function of governance becomes violence, fear and oppression.  Read More: https://conta.cc/4auPudt

Imperialism always rehearses the same lie: that vi Imperialism always rehearses the same lie: that violence is “necessary,” theft is “security,” and its vision has more value than a people’s sovereignty. From Nigeria to Iran to Venezuela, the script never changes—only the names do.

People-Powered Change Wins They say “the revolutio People-Powered Change Wins
They say “the revolution will not be funded.” And it’s true. Those in power currently rely on vast amounts of money to orchestrate their influence. We are organizing more and more PEOPLE into this movement to bring down systemic oppression and build a more just society. We are inherently PEOPLE-POWERED.

Fascism is not “on its way”; it is here. And it is Fascism is not “on its way”; it is here. And it is no secret that authoritarians develop their tools of oppression on the most vulnerable among us – only to unleash them later against anyone who stands in their way.
