Mass Meeting to Defend our Right to Free Speech
As Fascism 2025 Rolls
Mass Meeting to Defend our Right to Free Speech and Our Right to Organize
Saturday, April 26th
1:00 pm
First and Summerfield UMC
425 College street
New Haven, CT
(program below)
Our civil liberties are clearly under attack. The Trump Administration is kidnapping activists, doxxing people of color, and leading a rapidly escalating war on our most basic rights in order to silence its critics.
On March 8, plain clothes ICE agents - without a warrant - abducted Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian green card-holder married to a U.S. citizen who was then 8 months pregnant.
The Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, and other officials admit that Khalil has committed no crime and is targeted solely because the administration disagrees with the political content of his speech - a direct and open attack on first Amendment rights.
Officials call for the mass deportation of student activists - even demanding that universities hand over names and nationalities of students who have protested - and begin by abducting Badar Khan Suri in Virginia and Rumeysa Ozturk in Massachusetts.
Venezuelans taken without charges, trial, or any due process, are sent - in direct violation of a judge’s orders - to a prison camp in El Salvador.
After ICE took Khalil to a Louisiana jail, Columbia university expelled Grant Miner, President of the UAW Columbia grad employees chapter, one day before bargaining was set to begin. The UAW national chapter has decried the anti-democratic firing of their chapter president by the Columbia administration.
Now more than ever, the links between our labor rights and free speech are clear: when speech is no longer protected, the government is free to target union advocates and disrupt bargaining.

Our Administrator's Op-Ed in Hearst Newspapers
People power needed to prevent climate collapse
from the piece, " Sweeping measures are surely coming, but they could be what some call eco-fascism, hysteria about so-called “overpopulation” of
non-whites and immigrant “invasions” resulting in ever more walls and ever more murders of climate migrants. There are alternatives: declaring a “climate emergency” that would allow nullification of government deals with corporations that have systematically hid the effects of their emissions, completely ending the fossil fuel subsidies, rationing of fossil fuels use (and other burned fuels such as trash and biomass), ending the use of fossil fuels for lawn care, and keeping the saw away from as many mature trees as possible. "

Stop Importing Russian uranium
Germany has announced that it no longer needs to import Russia natural gas or coal, BUT the U.S. is still importing uranium from Russia. We 15,000 say this is outrageous!!!
