If you are around in the Bay Area, I’ll be speaking this Tuesday, in an event organized by the Center for Political Education, April 15, 7pm, 2857 24th St., Galería de la Raza at Bryant in San Francisco, on the recent events in Mahalla and what can US activists do to help the Egyptian labor movement.
Solidarity meetings are held in other parts of the world. In Beirut:
Revolutionary left activists and groups in Lebanon are calling for a public meeting in solidarity with the workers of Mahalla. The meeting will be held on Wednesday, April 16, in Zico House, Spears St., Sanayeh, Beirut at 7 pm.
It will be an occasion to express our solidarity with the working class in Egypt and to call for the release of the hundreds detained including the protesters at Mahalla, the Mahalla strike committee leaders, activists, teachers, and journalists arrested by the US backed Egyptian regime.
The meeting will also discuss actions in solidarity with the proposed May 4 strike in Egypt, linking with the May 1 demo in Beirut, and the strikes around May 7.
And another meeting is scheduled in Cologne, Germany, on Tuesday, 22 April, 7:30pm.
If you are an activist anywhere and organizing a solidarity meeting on Mahalla, kindly just post an announcement in the comments section.
