Dispatch from Steering Committee

Ballots have begun arriving in the hands of San Francisco voters, and as we muddle through long lists of voter guides, candidates, and propositions, we will ask ourselves many questions.

But will we be asking the right ones?

Bilingual Emergency Planning Training: How to Show Up for Immigrants at Their ICE Check-Ins

ICE makes immigrants “check in” periodically at their office to avoid deportation. Many times when immigrants show up, ICE detains them. An injury to one is an injury to all! Come learn how you can support immigrants outside these check-ins by helping them make an emergency plan, and get legal help if needed. (7:00 PM – 8:30 PM, Thursday, May 28 — open to new and existing members.)

EWOC Fundamentals of Workplace Organizing Course

EWOC holds a regular training course to help you build your union from the ground up alongside workers in your industry. It doesn’t require an organizing background to understand the material, which covers topics including mapping and charting, building an organizing committee, uniting over common concerns, and how to take action. If you’re interested in becoming any level of organizer for EWOC, this course is mandatory.

This course will in person at the DSA office (1916 McAllister). We’ll watch the EWOC lecture together and then go through the discussion activities. If you can’t make all of the sessions, reach out to Caitlin Stanton (SF EWOC local lead coordinator) for accommodations.

No ICE Detention Center in Dublin, CA

DHS is moving forward with their plans to not only open an ICE detention center in Dublin, but to open another one in Gilroy. Speculation is that if they are successful in their plans, both of these detention centers could be in operation by the end of the year. If this happens, the immigrant community in Northern California will be more at risk of being targeted by ICE.

In Dublin, the Bureau of Prisons is considering the transfer of the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) in Dublin to the General Services Administration, then eventually to DHS and ICE. This former women’s prison was closed down due to horrific abuse and environmental hazard. It is filled with asbestos, lead, black mold, and other hazardous substances.

The Bureau of Prisons is accepting public comment until June 1st on what should be done with the facility. This facility should be torn down and that’s what we need to advocate for.

Because this involves federal property, anyone in the country can write a letter to the BoP about this matter.

The ICE Out of Dublin Coalition and Bay Resistance asks the public to use their toolkit and/or this Action Network link to submit a letter: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/fci-dublin-environmental-assessment/
