[Sdalliance] My schedule for January 20th.

[Fred Lonidier]

I like the morning event at 10:30am at City College very much but am  
not going to attend the event at Chicano Park. You guys just don't  
realize that this event will be only about Mexicans and saving  
Mexican jobs! The labor unions will be there because they want to  
preserve the status quo and be able to pay cheap labor.  
Unfortunately, this is what must change in America and I have no  
interest in supporting that at all!
Your reference to the labor movement does not make any sense; unions  
don't "pay" wages, businesses do.  I don't think you know anything  
about the Justice for Janitors campaign by SEIU or HERE (hotel &  
restaurant workers) or the United Domestic Workers fights for union  
contracts for higher wages, benefits and grievance procedures.   
Unions have backed the $15 per hour here and all over the country.   
Also here, the labor movement with its allies on the City Council got  
improvements for taxi drivers.  Most of these campaigns and many  
others involve immigrant workers from many countries including Mexico.

I am somewhat concerned the direction this group has taken and when I  
sat on the J20 planning subcommittee, I felt that what I had to say  
was cut off and summarily dismissed by those trying to dominate the  
committee. What bothered me most was things that were voted down by  
that committee suddenly showed up back off the table again because  
the "dominators" didn't like it! Also work done by people who put  
time and care in was just summarily rejected. As a consequence,  
there's a flyer out there I DO NOT like at all!

This is the 4th of January and still there is no finalized agenda  
from what I understand. Time's a wasting folks, this needs to be done  
already and instead it's discuss and argue, nothing is being  
accomplished! It's DISTRESSING for an action person like myself! I am  
so disappointed I decided not to attend any meetings this week. I'm  
seriously considering whether to even stay with this group or just  
strike out on my own on January 20th. There are some other groups  
that have a great agenda and are doing some pretty good stuff that I  
might join up with.

I would like to enlighten everyone concerning a "safe protest". Do  
you think we'll be the only ones out there? Donald Trump supporters,  
which includes a large amount of SDPD are going to be out there  
looking for a fight! We should not expect a smooth sail, but instead  
be prepared for a very rough ride and be very happy if it doesn't  
happen! The Donald Trump supporters will be spoiling for a fight at  
Chicano Park, this should be expected, and SDPD might just stand back  
and let it happen! Therefore, informing SDPD what we're doing might  
be a big mistake and make us targets to be picked off! We should not  
inform the SDPD what we're doing...no, no, no!
