March Updates

Apologies, I pasted the wrong link for the letter. Original Note as follows:

Hey Everyone,

Ben here with some updates and reminders. I'm still working on cadence and the best way to handle more "urgent" updates so please reach out with any suggestions.

Developments

ICE out of Wayne County

On Saturday, March 14, ICE kidnapped two of our neighbors on W. Main St. in Sodus.

FLPU will support FLXRRN in a rally & march on Sunday 3/22 starting @ 4PM.

Response to SURJ Endorsement in Maine

You may have seen the news, but if not, SURJ National has endorsed Graham Platner in the Maine Senate race. Graham has fascist roots and has not shown accountability for this. SURJ National did not consult with Chapters and Circles on this endorsement. SURJ National did not consult with Maine members on their stance. Member objections to this endorsement were pushed aside. The Finger Lakes Peoples Union wholly condemns SURJ National and their endorsement of this individual. For more information and specific, unaddressed issues, please read this protest letter written by a member from Portland, Oregon. FLPU will distance itself from SURJ National and will work to repair any damages caused by this.

As always, please reach out with any questions or concerns. My email is on https://flpu.org and I believe you can also just respond to this newsletter. I hope to see you at the upcoming events!

Stay well and talk soon,
Ben

Finger Lakes Peoples Union - Finger Lakes, New York FLPU July Newsletter The Death of the Dream The American Dream is dead. After 250 years of this experiment, which we call the United States of America, the dream of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is dead for the working class. The reality in which we live, work, grow, raise families, and try to eek out some slice of joy is one of extreme divides in privilege, and opportunity. Our economy is based on an underpaid and...

Finger Lakes Peoples Union - Finger Lakes New York FLPU June Newsletter Happy Pride! Happy Juneteenth! Happy Summer!I hope everyone is enjoying the change of weather and warm days. Many of my newsletters have had a tinge of doom & gloom, so I'd like to try and keep this one focused on more positive developments. It is important to remember that life can have both happy & sad moments intermixed. Multiplicity: more than one thing can be true at the same time. We are fighting fascism,...
