Kellogg’s wants to break their strike by hiring 1,400 permanent workers, instead of negotiating with their striking workers in good faith.
Don’t let them do it!

Baltimore Protest: The Grinch that Stole Christmas for Unemployed Workers
Saturday, December 18 - 2:00 p.m.
Gather at 2011 N. Charles St., Baltimore, to car caravan to Tiffany Robinson’s house
Protest at Maryland Secretary of Labor Tiffany Robinson’s House:
“The Grinch that Stole Christmas for Unemployed Workers”
“Singing Christmas Carols” at Robinson’s House
We have tried continuously to reach Secretary of Labor Tiffany Robinson at her office, but with no luck. She is either not in her office or refusing to meet with us or even acknowledge unemployed workers’ grievances. It’s time we go to her house.
We don’t like to do this, but Tiffany Robinson hasn’t given us a choice, and besides, let’s bring the holiday spirit to her with some carols reflecting our feelings.

How Congress loots the Treasury for the Military-Industrial-Congressional Complex
By Medea Benjamin and Nicolas J. S. Davies
Despite a disagreement over some amendments in the Senate, the United States Congress is poised to pass a $778 billion military budget bill for 2022. As they have been doing year after year, our elected officials are preparing to hand the lion’s share – over 65% – of federal discretionary spending to the U.S. war machine, even as they wring their hands over spending a mere quarter of that amount on the Build Back Better Act.
Julian Assange can be tortur…oops!…extradited to the United States, UK court rules.

La absurda campaña contra las inversiones de China en Uganda
El 25 de noviembre de 2021, fue publicado en Daily Monitor (el periódico nacional de Uganda) un artículo titulado “Uganda entrega aeropuerto por dinero chino”.
Por Vijay Prashad
Un estudio del Centro para el Desarrollo Global de Washington, D.C., muestra que ninguno de los proyectos de la Iniciativa de la Franja y la Ruta han sido responsables de las dificultades de endeudamiento; de los 68 proyectos de la BRI, sólo ocho se encuentran en países con problemas de endeudamiento, pero esta situación es anterior a las inversiones chinas. Estudios detallados de las inversiones chinas en el puerto de Hambantota, en Sri Lanka (publicados en el Atlantic), y en el país africano de Yibuti (publicados en el Globe and Mail) muestran que no hay pruebas de confiscación de activos en ninguno de estos casos.

Protecting the waters of Moanalua (underneath U.S. Navy’s Pearl Harbor fuel storage tanks)
The waters of what is now known as the Moanalua-Waimalu aquifer have long sustained the life of the plants, animals and people of the region
By Shelley Muneoka, Kepoʻo Keliʻipaʻakaua and Wayne Chung Tanaka
In 1940, the U.S. Navy began constructing a massive fuel facility in Hawai'i, above the Moanalua-Waimalu aquifer. It took three years and the lives of 16 workers to construct 20 massive, 250-foot tall tanks to hold 250 million gallons of petroleum fuel.
As decades passed, concern grew as more people realized that these aging, leaky tanks were located just 100 feet above what had now become the principal water source for hundreds of thousands of residents in urban Honolulu, from Hālawa to Maunalua.

There’s a nonsensical propaganda campaign to make China look bad in Uganda
On November 25, 2021, an article appeared in Uganda’s national newspaper the Daily Monitor with the headline: “Uganda surrenders airport for China cash.”
By Vijay Prashad
A study by the Center for Global Development in Washington, D.C., shows that none of the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative projects have been the author of debt distress; of the 68 BRI projects, only eight are in countries struggling with debt, but this struggle predates Chinese investment. Close studies of Chinese investment in the Sri Lankan port of Hambantota (published in the Atlantic) and in the African country of Djibouti (published in the Globe and Mail) show that there is no evidence of asset seizure in either of these cases.
Dozens of students poured out the front doors of Tompkins Square Middle School in the East Village Friday, to protest what they described as rampant sexual harassment from peers that school officials are doing too little to rein in.
The mostly female student speakers, who addressed a crowd of their classmates through a megaphone, detailed a school climate where girls expect unwelcome comments and touching — a problem that’s intensified since full-time in-person classes resumed this fall.
