¡Estamos en contra de las acciones de Trump y la migra! Mire todo en CLTDSA.org/statements. Nuestros próximos eventos están en CLTDSA.org/events.
¡Chinga la migra! ¡Fuera de Charlotte NC! Este fin de semana, la Oficina de Aduanas y Protección Fronteriza, fuerza policiaca personal de Trump, empezará a ocupar nuestra ciudad y secuestrar a nuestros vecinos para terrorizar a la comunidad inmigrante e intimidarnos a quienes nos oponemos. Charlotte Metro DSA condena esta invasión. Nos mantenemos en solidaridad con la clase trabajadora de todas las naciones . Lucharemos contra esta invasión con toda la gente de consciencia. Estos ataques son parte de una historia larga del estado fomentando la división entre personas de la clase trabajadora para debilitar y amenazar a nuestras comunidades con agentes armados cuando parecemos demasiado fuertes. Previamente en este año, iniciamos nuestra campaña para boicotear a Avelo. La aerolínea Avelo es una aerolínea de bajo costo que está bajo contrato con ICE para llevar a cabo vuelos de deportaciones. Estamos pidiendo a la gente que participe en el boicot para generar presión a la empresa y la Ciudad de Concord, ciudad de donde despegan los vuelos, para que cesen el contrato. Con este fin llevaremos a cabo una protesta el día 29 alrededor del aeropuerto Concord-Padgett, les invitamos a que se nos unan. Otros grupos de la comunidad están trabajando activamente para luchar contra este fenómeno. Por favor revisen y utilicen la red de migrantes de las Carolinas @carolina_migrant_network y utilicen su línea directa para reportar secuestros (704) 740-7737 Y también visiten @siembranc para obtener detalles sobre el entrenamiento en vigilancia de ICE el 17 de noviembre. Nuestro objetivo es organizar y unir a la ciudad para resistir estos secuestros. Por favor acérquese a nosotros para colaborar o involucrarse.

We oppose Trump and his lackeys terrorizing our communities. See CLTDSA.org/statements for the full statement. See CLTDSA.org/events for details on our upcoming protest against Avelo Airlines, ICE’s airline of choice.
Ice and CPB out of Charlotte NC! Today, Customs & Border Patrol, Trump’s personal police force, will begin occupying our city and abducting our neighbors to terrorize the immigrant community and cow domestic opposition. Charlotte Metro DSA condemns this invasion. We stand in solidarity with the working class of all nations. We will fight this invasion with all people of conscience. These attacks are a part of the long history of capital & its state fomenting divisions among the working class to keep us weak and siccing armed agents on us and our communities when we appear too strong. Earlier this year we began our Boycott Avelo campaign. Avelo airlines is a budget airline that has a contract with ICE for deportation flights. We are asking people to boycott the company and help us put pressure on the company and the City of Concord where they fly out of to get them to drop the contract. To that end, we’ll be having a protest on the 29th by the Concord-Padgett airport. We invite you to join us. Other groups in the community have also been actively fighting back. Please check out the @carolina_migrant_network and use their hotline to report abductions: (704) 740-7737. And see @siembranc for details about their upcoming ICE Watch training on Nov. 17th. We aim to organize and unite the city to resist these abductions. Please reach out to collaborate or get involved.

Our statement on the passage of the 1% sales tax on mecklenburg county this month.
On November 4th, a 1% sales tax was passed (52% to 48%) in Mecklenburg County to fund the P.A.V.E. Act. We remain opposed to the sales tax increase. The working class had no say in the P.A.V.E. act, yet we are those with the most to lose. With the current $20 billion transit plan, we will also gain the least. We will not be able sit on the new governing Transit Authority Board of Trustees, but we're free to be harassed and kicked off transit by the new transit police force. There are no guarantees that these transit expansions will be completed, and that this tax money will actually go towards transit or bike infrastructure. We support transit when it serves the working class. This Bill does not It serves to support corporations. Bills like the P.A.V.E. act get passed because these politicians don’t care about workers, only their corporate donors. We're building an organization by and for the working class that can stand up to the capitalist class and fight for reforms like fast, free, reliable, and comprehensive public transit. Join DSA Today!
