Wear RED for International Workers Day!
Caravana abierta a automóviles, motocicletas, bicicletas y otros vehículos.
La caravana seguirá el distanciamiento social y otros protocolos de seguridad, y no bloqueará intersecciones o vehículos de emergencia
A medida que COVID-19 continúa extendiéndose por los EE. UU., La completa insuficiencia del sistema de salud de los EE. UU. y el fracaso de la respuesta del gobierno está en plena exhibición. Los trabajadores esenciales se ponen en riesgo todos los días con salarios bajos y sin el equipo de protección necesario. La prueba Covid-19 no está disponible. Millones sin trabajo enfrentan las facturas de prospectos o alquileres que no pueden pagar y los desalojos a seguir. Los presos y los migrantes en los centros de detención corren un riesgo particularmente alto de contraer COVID-19, ya que el distanciamiento social y las medidas sanitarias básicas son imposibles en condiciones de prisión. Se gastan miles de millones en la guerra en lugar de abordar la pandemia. El gobernador Cuomo ha rechazado el apoyo a los inmigrantes indocumentados.

La caravana seguirá el distanciamiento social y otros protocolos de seguridad, y se opone a las manifestaciones reaccionarias en las últimas semanas que han exigido que la gente regrese al trabajo, una política que resultaría en una infección masiva y muerte completamente innecesaria. La caravana mostrará solidaridad con los trabajadores del hospital y de tránsito, y echará la culpa de la crisis a quien pertenece:a las puertas del alcalde, Trump y Bill DeBlasio, el gobernador Cuomo y, sobre todo, de Wall Street.

Por todas estas razones, nos movilizaremos como caravana de automóviles el 1 de Mayo, Día Internacional de los Trabajadores para exigir lo siguiente y más:

Pago de riesgo y EPP para todos los trabajadores esenciales
Dinero para asistencia sanitaria, no guerra
#CancelRent
Prueba COVID para todos
Libéralos a todos
Fondo de ayuda para trabajadores migrantes

Esta acción se está organizando en respuesta a la convocatoria de una huelga popular que surge de la Cooperación Jackson. ¡El 1 de mayo, los trabajadores de todo el país se organizarán y movilizarán! Haga clic aquí para leer el Llamado a la acción

As COVID-19 continues to spread across the US, the complete inadequacy of the US healthcare system and the failure of the government response is on full display. Essential workers are put at risk every day with low pay and without necessary protective gear. Widespread testing is unavailable. Millions without work face the prospect of rent bills they cannot pay and evictions to follow. Prisoners and migrants in detention centers are at particularly high risk of contracting COVID-19, as social distancing and basic sanitary measures are impossible under prison conditions. Billions are spent on criminal wars instead of addressing the pandemic. Governor Cuomo has refused support to undocumented migrants.

The caravan will follow social distancing and other safety protocols, and is in opposition to reactionary demonstrations over the past weeks that have demanded people return to work, a policy that would result in completely unnecessary mass infection and death. Workers and scientists should decide when to reopen the economy, not right-wing reactionaries. The caravan will show solidarity with working and oppressed people across New York City, especially hospital, transit, grocery & incarcerated workers at the front line of this crisis, and lay the blame where it belongs: at the doorsteps of Trump, DeBlasio, Cuomo and Wall Street.

For all these reasons we will mobilize as a car caravan on May Day, International Workers Day to demand the following and more:

People Before Profit
Hazard Pay & PPE for All Essential Workers
 
Relief Fund for Migrant Workers

Free Healthcare & COVID Testing for All
#CancelRent
#NoEvictions
#WontGoBack
#FreeThemAll
#CloseTheCamps
#AbolishIce
#WeKeepUsSafe
End the Wars – Fight COVID!
Capitalism is Killing Us!
Bail out Workers, not Banks!
