We did it! Avelo Airlines has announced that it will end its deportation contract with ICE due to "financial concerns". DSA chapters across the country worked with allies to kick Avelo out of airports, push for a consumer boycott, raise awareness, and end city contracts with Avelo.
We did it! No more Avelo deportation flights. Avelo Airlines has announced that it will end its deportation contract with ICE due to "financial concerns". DSA chapters across the country worked with allies to kick Avelo out of airports, push for a consumer boycott, raise awareness, and end city contracts with Avelo. Over 15,000 Maryland residents signed our petition and 350 rallied with us in Annapolis. Organizing works! Sanctuary Maryland's fight to abolish ICE continues. Join us.

Many of us woke up Saturday to the news of the US illegal bombing of Venezuela and kidnapping of Nicholas Maduro and his wife. Within hours, we joined forces with People Power’s Assembly (PPA) and Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) and mobilized the community to an anti-war rally at City Hall.
Photo of protestors outside city hall. The most visible sign says "No More Blood for Oil" Photo of a large group of people carrying signs and banners marching. The shot tower is visible behind them. Photo taken from behind a few rows of marchers. One protestor is holding a Venezuelan flag. Others are holding signs that say "No War on Venezuela". Photo of people standing outside of city hall, looking at someone who is giving a speech.

The year is already off to a rough start, but now is not the time to despair! It is the time for revolutionary optimism - the kind that is found in solidarity, community, small wins, and a sharpened focus on our vision for the future.

We hope to see you this week at one of our socials!

In 1929, Charles Goob, Baltimore’s Chief Engineer, announced plans to restore the Shot Tower. That year, improvements were made, including the installation of a steam engine + lighting system. When the engine turned on, steam was piped through the roof and amber and red lights were illuminated.
Orange background with two images on top. One is a black and white headshot photograph of Charles Goob looking at the camera and the other is a colored illustration of the shot tower.

Google is a pressure target of the Apartheid Free Baltimore campaign. Google holds such a monopoly over so much of our lives that it can be difficult to even think of how you could possibly boycott them. These are some steps for limiting your reliance on them as best you can.
Logos of Palestine Solidarity Working Group, Jewish Voice for Peace, Baltimore DSA, Apartheid Free Baltimore, and Palestinian Youth Movement across the top. Background is a keffiyah pattern. Text reads: How to boycott Google. Stop using chrome. Switch the firebox or another non-chromium variant. Don't pay for gsuite apps or extra storage. Switch the proton mail or something else. Don't buy new phones or tables. Buy used/refurbished from third party sellers. Find alternatives to google software. Use cryptpad instead of slides/docs. Use alternativeto.net for additional swaps. Google is an apartheid free baltimore pressure target. Pressure targets are generally more difficult to avoid than priority targets. AFB businesses must not promote these companies, must attempt to replace with alternatives where feasible, and are encouraged to divest to the best of their abilities. As consumers, we can do out part in boycotting pressure targets by limiting our reliance on them.
