Multiple thousands of Americans have taken to the streets in angry protests against callous police murders of African-Americans in a growing movement to demand justice and safety.
The protestors have been diverse.
These protests have been necessary and appropriate to address the now dangerous racism amongst some police officers, district attorneys, and some other members of law enforcement.
Our Congress is forcing through one of the worst legislative packages in years. The CRomnibus will surely make our politics even worse by allowing even more big money into a broken system.
The CRomnibus will hold the treasury of our country hostage. The reckless traders and bankers on Wall Street who will be satisfied with what they steal from average workers like us.
There has always been a connection between race and class in America. Stealing the lands and gold while slaughtering Native People and slavery, using workers of color to break strike, forcing Black people into peonage and sharecropping are just some examples.
We must struggle to connect the anger at the murder of Black men to the anger at a Ruling Class that is stealing our jobs, our wages, the future of our children, the quality of our lives.
This is Movement Time. Let us all be prepared to do our part. Now is the time for Real Struggle.
