ICUJP Friday Forum
April 18th, 7:30-9:30 am Pacific
Elon Musk & Rising Ruling Class Fascism
RSVP AT BOTTOM OF PAGE
Event Description:
Whether in the medical field using his position to exonerate police killings, such as former Maryland state chief medical examiner David Fowler, or in a position on a presidential cabinet, such as blood emerald magnate and fascist demagogue Elon Musk, there are and have long been avowed fascists wielding power in the United States. We may ask ourselves, “How did this man get there?” We need to look into their histories and learn how to take them down from their positions of power.
Join the conversation with our speaker:

Recap: "Fire Musk!" action at Tesla dealership, 3rd Street Promenade
We would like to thank all of the great partners and friends that came to our action in front of the Tesla Dealership on the 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica.
It was wonderful to see all of the great people from many different organizations, auch as the ANSWER Coalition, CODE PINK, The Party for Socialism and Liberation, The Harriet Tubman Center for Social Justice, Americans for Democratic Action of So. Cal., The National Lawyers Guild - Los Angeles, and Justice for Palestine.
We would like to thank our speakers, spoken word artist Matt Sedillo, and all of the beautiful folks that brought their energy and lifted their voices in pushing back against the American Oligarchy.

Please join Interfaith Communities United for Justice and Peace, Global Health Partners, Not Just Tourists,, Pan-American Medical Association, Puentes de Amor, LA US Hands Off Cuba Committee (and its affiliates nationwide), Health Care for US - HC4US, and Operation Rainbow, Inc. as we raise funds to send medical supplies to Cuba and supply painkillers to those in need.
The main trauma hospital, Calixto Garcia, is completely out of painkillers like Ibuprofen, Tylenol, and aspirin. This dire shortage is a direct result of the US blockade and SSOT.
We appreciate any support you can give.Donate to Cuba Support Here!
