ESSN Jobs With Justice General Meeting
May 15th, 5:30 - 7 p.m.
AFSCME Hall at 688 Charnelton in Eugene
The corporations and the wealthy 1% believe that now is the time to crush the working class.
We see it as they give obscene tax cuts to the millionaires and billionaires while increasing the taxes of working men and women.
We see it as they move to lift taxes on corporations outsourcing their manufacturing overseas to countries like Malaysia and China.
We see it as they work to take health care away from millions of working class families.
We see it in that attitudes of management (the Bosses) in both the public and private sector as they bargain with union workers; not in good faith, but with the intent of crushing the unions and ensuring that there is no one left to stand against corporate greed and corruption.
There is a war being waged against the hard working men and women of this nation and it is up to each of us to stand up and fight back against injustice and greed.
Join us for our Monthly General Meeting and learn more about how you can help fight for the rights and dignity of all workers in Lane County!
Presenting at this meeting will be LaRece Rivera, President of AFSCME Local 2831. LaRece will update us on the status of their bargaining with the County and how we can help to ensure the County Bargains in good faith.

Stop the Military Madness
"Military madness is killing your country." - Graham Nash
President Trump is following the playbook of tyrants throughout history, stirring up fear and advocating simplistic, militaristic, and destructive solutions to the world's complex problems.
Now, more than ever, we must stand and take action together:
- To fight to reduce budget dollars for weapons and war. And to demand that the Pentagon be audited like other federal agencies.
- To oppose military-first solutions to global problems by supporting diplomacy, humanitarian assistance, and collaborative peace-keeping missions.
- To resist calls for more troops in the complex wars of the Middle East.
- To hold Trump and his military leaders accountable for increasing civilian casualties, which only fuel anti-American sentiments around the world.
- To demand reduction of nuclear weapons and support legislation that removes the power to launch nuclear weapons from one man and requires consultation and congressional approval.
- To fund desperately needed initiatives to save our planet by combating climate change and promoting clean energy-a real source of good long-term jobs.
- To support programs promoting education, providing affordable housing, preventing hunger, and building healthy, sustainable, and equitable communities.

Each talk is aimed to spark inspiration for us to go out into the world and choose who to become. Maybe come up with a plan. Discover an insight. Find out what you are capable of. We choose speakers who are challenging the status quo and inspiring us to be more.
