What I find fascinating as an autistic person is how often I envision an anarcho-syndicalist society. Every day, I imagine a world built on freedom, solidarity, and mutual aid, a society where people are empowered to live with dignity and autonomy.

Yet, when I look around me, I see the overwhelming reality of the system I’ve been suppressed by for nearly 25 years. It’s a system that feels broken, unjust, and dehumanizing, a constant reminder of the garbage we’re forced to endure.

Some good news to start your week:

Last year, London anti-fascist S. was charged with "assault" for his role in preventing Immigration officers from kidnapping refugees that they intended to dump in Rwanda, despite ample witnesses and video evidence showing that the person being assaulted was S. himself by those very same Immigration officers!

S. had to hire a solicitor to fight the charges. The International Anti-Fascist Defence Fund, along with S.'s friends, put together the fund to hire a decent one.

Last week, S. had his trial and was found not guilty on all charges! Full story:
https://intlantifadefence.wordpress.com/2025/03/10/being-a-good-neighbour/

This is yet another example of how important the work of The Defence Fund is in ensuring that anti-fascists are properly defended in the courts. Please help us ensure that anti-fascists are always able to vigorously defend themselves against false charges - make a contriubtion to the Defence Fund today!

Did you know that Sex Workers Outreach Project has a prison letter writing program? You can easily sign up to become a pen pal with a criminalized sex worker on their website. They don't ask for very much personal info, just a name and email, and country/state you live in. They also have a return address you can use if you don't have an address you feel comfortable using for prison mail. If you've been considering letter writing this is an easy way to connect with people who often don't get as much support as higher profile political prisoners!

New year, new country, new #introduction. Having obtained my #PhD in #computationalmusicology in 🇨🇭 last year, I am now pursuing an academic career in #musicresearch in Linz 🇦🇹. Most music genres and styles have fantastic specimens but I seem to have a general preference for the extremes, be it #deathmetal, #hardtechno, or completely bonkers #ContemporaryMusic. Politically I'm a violent, radical extremist for #solidarity, #cooperation, and #HumanRights. Favourite vegetable: #hokkaido squash

Hey, folks, just a reminder that #Amazon workers are on #strike starting today. Don't be a scab, don't cross the picket line, don't buy from Amazon.
There are very few things you can buy from Amazon that you can't get elsewhere. These workers are giving up their income to strike; the least you can do is show your #solidarity by putting in a little time and effort finding somewhere else to buy your stuff for a while.

WE HAVE A DEAL: We have reached a tentative agreement with the #NYTimes for our members. Read more here...

#GuildBuilds #SolidarityStreak #BreakMyStreak #UnionStrong #UnionMadeNYC #Strike #Union #Unions #Tech #Election #Election2024 #Labor #CollectiveBargaining #Contract #NewsGuild #CWA #Solidarity

For Immediate Release: Dec. 11, 2024. Contact: Jen Sheehan, jen@nyguild.org, 610-573-0740. NY NewsGuild, NY Times Reach Tentative Deal On Historic First Tech Contract. Three-year agreement sets new standards for tech industry, including "just cause" protections, guaranteed raises, and guardrails on remote-work status. New York - The NewsGuild of New York, which represents the Times Tech Guild, and New York Times management have reached a tentative deal on a three-year contract, just over a month after the Tech Guild's election week ULP strike. The tentative agreement is the first for the Times Tech Guild, the largest union of tech workers with collective bargaining rights in the country. The Times Tech Guild is a bargaining unit of The NewsGuild of New York, which represents nearly 6,000 media workers including two other units at The New York Times. "We're thrilled to reach an agreement that secures 'just cause' protections, sustains workplace flexibility, and guarantees annual raises for our members," said Kathy Zhang, a Senior Analytics Manager at The New York Times and unit chair of the Tech Guild. "These first contract wins set a strong foundation for job protections that our colleagues will build upon for generations. I could not be more proud to have been part of organizing this strong, fighting union. Serving on our first bargaining committee has been the honor of a lifetime." Tech Guild members will vote on ratification of their contract on Thursday, Dec. 19th.

ALT

Among the contract highlights: Enhanced job security with 'just cause' protections. Guaranteed wage increases for the first time of up to 8.25% (plus additional base rate discretionary compensation) that prioritize the largest wage increases for the lowest paid members over the life of the contract. Additional compensation for on-call work. Important protections that lock in guardrails on additional variable compensation (including stocks and bonuses). Improved protections for workers on visas. Language guaranteeing flexible hybrid work schedules. Process and transparency protections related to career growth, performance reviews and other workplace issues. This tentative deal marks the end of more than two years of bargaining, which began shortly after the unit won its NLRB election by a landslide in March 2022. Software developers, project managers and graphic designers at The New York Times unionized alongside a wave of other tech workers at SEGA, Meow Wolf, NPR, Activision Blizzard and Alphabet, organizing as part of CODE-CWA, or the Campaign to Organize Digital Employees. It also comes just over a month after the Tech Guild went on a ULP strike. NYT subscribers across the country expressed solidarity with striking tech workers by not crossing the digital picket line to play games such as Wordle and Connections, or using the Cooking app.

ALT

Tech Guild members created their own games site, akin to a strike publication, that amassed more than a half million page views and more than 320,000 active users. Supporters also donated more than a quarter of a million dollars to Tech's strike fund. "With this contract our Tech Guild members demonstrate what happens when workers band together to fight for the value of their labor," said Susan DeCarava, President of The NewsGuild of New York. "We not only won a first contract that set new standards for workers within the New York Times, but we've also established a strong foundation for what is possible for tech workers in the future when they organize and bargain collectively." About the NewsGuild of New York: The NewsGuild of New York, Local 31003 of the Communications Workers of America, is a labor union representing nearly 6,000 media professionals and other employees at New York area news organizations, including The New York Times, The New Yorker, Thomson Reuters, The Nation, TIME, PEOPLE, Wirecutter, and The Daily Beast. The NewsGuild of New York advocates for journalists to have a voice in the newsroom, for press freedom, for inclusive and diverse workplaces, and for just cause, no exceptions, for all media professionals.

hi fedizens,

i'm helping collect commissary funds for Malik Muhammad (@malikspeaks. he has a short grace period during december when the prison won't immediately take away any money he gets, so we're trying to hit it hard this month so he can stock up while he's still in solitary. any bit helps!

#prison #solidarity #holidays #support #FreeThemAll

Holiday Solidarity Commissary For Malik!
December is only month that OSP prisoners get a holiday exemption from having their commissaries stolen by the prison for bogus predatory fines. This is the only time of year that Malik will be able to access commissary without his funds being garnished.
Please show Malik some love with a donation of any size so he can get something nice while still in solitary!

*please leave a note for “Malik Holiday Fund”

Transgenocide

I'm working on a new page on my advocacy site [early draft!],
https://persagen.org/wpi/transgenocide/index.php

It's a response to anti-2SLGBTQIA+ movements & electoral upheaval.

I recently attended the CBRC Summit 2024 conference,
https://mastodon.social/@persagen/113534986948922764

Presentations/conversations with trans activists emphasized the need for 2SLGBTQIA+ -led research, advocacy, & activism.

Namaste 🙏

P.S. Happy Thanksgiving, U.S. folx/allies! 🦃

We are on ULP strike. We gave #NYTimes management months of notice of our strike deadline, we made ourselves available around the clock, but the company has decided that our members aren’t worth enough to agree to a fair contract and stop committing unfair labor practices.

2014 Ferguson Rebellion political prisoner Josh Williams' birthday is coming up on November 25!

Josh has spent almost his entire 20's locked up on ridiculously exaggerated and politically motivated charges aimed at breaking up his effective community organizing and agitation in defense of black lives -- write him a letter to celebrate his life and let him know he's not forgotten and that we have his back.

**note: MODOC and their communications mercenaries are very fussy, so please write to him only on lined paper with black or blue ink (hand-drawn art is acceptable)**
