2/17 SF Rally-NO Border Walls-Cancel NAFTA- For Unity Between US & Mexican Workers Against The Multi-Nationals, Racists And Union Busters

San Francisco US Federal Building
90 7th St. Near Mission St.
San Francisco, California
The racist attack by Trump on the Mexican people, all immigrants and Mexican-Americans is escalating. The NAFTA agreement is part and parcel on the attack not only on Mexican working people and farmers but on US workers. It was pushed by the US multi-nationals, the Democrats and Republicans and has harmed workers on both sides of the border. The 3,000 maquiladoras that were set up have been kept non-union by the Mexican government which uses the police and state power to prevent unionization for the US and multi-national companies who really run Mexico.
US workers have been told that if they do not take wage and benefit concessions, their companies will move to Mexico and they have again used NAFTA to impose these wage cuts and destroy decent union jobs here in the US.
The wealth of Mexico has also been sold off to billionaires like Carlos Slim, a pal of Bill Clinton and US and multi-nationals from around the world. Telecom, railroads, water, mines, transit and the lands of Mexico have been privatized and they are trying to destroy public education with charters and other privatization schemes.
At the same time there is a militarization of the border with Plan Merida, Mexico has been given billions for weapons which are being used for massive repression and murders of teachers, students and journalists in Mexico. 43 students were murdered by government forces and the government is covering up the police who were involved in this government organized massacre.
Workers and people on both sides of the border are demanding NO Border Walls, NO NAFTA and UNITY between US and Mexican workers against the real crooks and criminals running these corporations like Driscolls. This California based company owned by the Reider family has fought unionization of the 80,000 farm workers in slave like conditions in San Quintin and Baja, California. These indigenous people were forced off their ejidos lands and they are paid $12 dollars a day which cannot feed, cloth and care for their themselves and their families.
There is an international boycott against all Driscoll products and there will be a US-Mexican Border solidarity action on March 5, 2017 for workers on both sides of the border.
It is time to cancel NAFTA, Fight anymore walls and unify workers and the people on both sides of the border.
