[Sdalliance] My schedule for January 20th.

Fred,Please know these were the comments from a single individual in our organizing group and they do not represent the view of others. We specifically deleted this comment from our face book page based on its racist tone. Many of us feel that workers are workers regardless of where they were born or where they strive to earn a living now. 
I support you in addressing your concerns to the author, I personally agree with you. While Allen has valid concerns about our organizing efforts, many of us will stand up against the nationalism represented in his opening paragraph. Perhaps this signals the importance of having a social media use policy, forgive us as a new group in not being quite ready to deal with it more directly.

 Subject: [Sdalliance] My schedule for January 20th.

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!
