It's International Democracy Day. Our workplaces(where we spend huge parts of our lives) are undemocratic dictatorships. #DemocracyIsMore than voting now and then for parties that will misrepresent you anyway. We need workplace democracy in South Africa.

This is what we need. A show of feet on the ground. Real conversations with people. Join us on 8 August to show the world that Xenophobia doesn't get the final say. Check out the Operation Ubuntu actions in Jhb, CT, and Dbn.

Change is possible when people unite against oppression. But the fight isn't over. Today, our youths face a disintegrating education system and dwindling opportunities under a dysfunctional capitalist system. It is up to us to resist. How will you?

We need more from the community to step in. Xenophobia is inhuman, and it's making the most vulnerable among us pay for the failures of the rich and powerful.

Access to nature is also a social justice issue. It's also a class issue. What a breath of fresh air, hearing this take from the leader of a large political party.

Protect our Green Spaces. Vote Green on Thursday!

The only protest that will shift the needle is the kind that stops the capitalist machine from working. Strikes are where the power of a labour movement is measured. It's great to see more and more people push for labour action against exploitation.

TODAY IS THE DAY! On this International Workers Day, we are withholding our economic activities. No work, no school, no spending money! Join us tonight at 6 pm at the Green Bay Labor Temple on Elizabeth Street for a rally and community meal! www.mobilize.us/mayday/event...

This Mayday, we celebrate workers everywhere: you who create all value, who are exploited for the profits of a few, who struggled and bought our small freedoms with blood. And the workers who struggle still, because they know that while capitalism rules, we can never be free.
