Drink-In for Good Jobs and Union Beer!

When Anchor Brewing reopens, workers deserve good, union jobs.

Join us to call on the new owners to offer workers their jobs back, and sign a neutrality agreement with the union!

Attendees will receive a UNION BEER poster!

Buzzworks SF, 365 11th st, on Tuesday Jun 30 at 5:30PM. RSVP here!

Tenant Organizers Social. Tuesday, Jun 30th @7PM. Thee Parkside, 1600 17th st. (17th st. x wisconsin st.). Fight Landlords, Fight gentrification.

Tenant Organizers Social

Meet tenants organizers from across the Bay. Come to Thee Parkside, 1600 17th St on Tuesday, June 30 at 7:00 PM for one final time before it closes its doors for good. 

The same forces of rampant speculation and gentrification responsible for destroying local culture spaces (like Thee Parkside) are causing the massive displacement of tenants throughout the Bay Area. Please come and share your experience as tenants organizing in the face of finance capital’s agenda to build their “luxury city”.

WE DID IT! Join us to turn in 17000+ signatures to get the Affordable Housing Guarantee Act on the November ballot
Social Housing Happy Hour! Socialize with socialists and give thanks to the signature gatherers who got our social housing measure on the ballot!

The Affordable Housing Guarantee Act is Headed to the Ballot!

BIG NEWS!! In just two short months, we’ve reached our signature goal and the Affordable Housing Guarantee Act is headed to the ballot!

Thank you to everyone who helped us so far to get us to this point. Hundreds of volunteers gathered signatures, donated, fundraised and secured endorsements. If you haven’t donated yet, here’s the link. We’ve got two ways to celebrate coming up on Thursday, July 2nd:

  • 12PM: Rally to turn in signatures at City Hall (Van Ness Steps) — RSVP here!
  • 6PM: Signature Gatherer Appreciation & Social Housing Happy Hour at Zeitgeist (199 Valencia)

You don’t even need to have gathered a single signature to join us at the happy hour, you just have to want a beautiful future where housing is permanently removed from the speculative market and treated as a human right!

In case you missed it, here’s how we got here: Since 2020, the transfer tax approved by voters has generated more than $500 million for affordable and social housing. San Franciscans made it clear where they wanted that money to go, but City Hall has refused to use it for its intended purpose and is now trying to gut the tax altogether. Not on our watch!  This ballot measure is going to make sure those funds are used the way voters intended: to build social housing and make San Francisco a more affordable place to live.

Solidarity Rally with the Hunger and Labor Strike at Delany Hall and Adelanto. Friday July 3rd 5pm. Echo the striker's demands and oppose geo groups expanding presence in the bay! Geogroup out of Comptons! No ICE detention centers in Dublin or Gilroy! Meet here: Turk street and Taylor street.

Stand with Strikers in Immigrant Detention: Solidarity Rally

Friday July 3, 5 PM

Turk & Taylor

Immigrants in detention in Adelanto, California and in Delaney Hall in New Jersey, facilities run by the private prison corporation GEO Group, have had enough and since last month have been on hunger strike, while at Delaney Hall, they have also been on a labor strike, refusing to work for pennies per hour. 

Strikers at Delaney Hall are demanding the immediate release of all detained people, starting with the elderly, pregnant, children and those with serious medical conditions. They are also calling for fair review of immigration cases, and an end to pressure to sign “voluntary” deportation orders. They are also demanding a meeting with New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill so she can observe conditions and hear directly from detained people.

Meanwhile, in Adelanto, hunger strikers are protesting inhumane conditions, including mold, substandard food, lack of medical care and retaliation against hunger strikers. 

To win, strikers will need community support from coast to coast. Come join us in solidarity at the site of the historic Compton cafeteria riots, the first well-documented trans and queer uprising against police violence, which is now a carceral facility run by GEO Group.

Come tell GEO Group and ICE: Free them all, and GEO Group out of our city!

EWOC Fundamentals of Workplace Organizing Course
