It is highly unlikely the leadership of the Alameda or and Francisco Labor Council's or affiliated unions will make the real effort to reach in to the depths of the memberhips of the affiliated locals and bring them out. In all my years as a delegate to the Alameda Council, this was never the strategy. It's is too risky mobilizing the troops because there is much anger among among union members and working people as a whole and controlling that anger, directing it in ways that will not threaten the status quo, is first and foremost. However, it's important to try attend this and to raise it in your workplace and union.

Labor Vigil to Demand an End to Police Brutality on Feb. 16th
Local 21 Union Siblings,
Enough is enough.
It is a battle to believe and have hope that these injustices and
atrocities will ever stop. We must take a stand and organize to demand
that they do.
In
coalition with San Francisco Labor Council, Alameda Labor
Council, Contra Costa Labor Council, and community organizations, we
will participate in a vigil on Thursday, February 16, 2023 at 5:30pm that demands an end to police brutality. One of the demands of the vigil is the passage of the George Floyd Act in Congress, as well as action at the state level in Sacramento. We demand an end to police brutality and all racially-motivated violence. Black lives matter.
What: Labor & Community Coalition to Demand the End of Police Brutality
When: Thursday, February 16th at 5:30pm
Where: Steps of San Francisco City Hall, 1 Dr Carlton B Goodlett Pl, San Francisco, CA 94102

brutality. IFPTE Local 21 vows to recommit to the fight against
racially-motivated violence, especially against Black lives and other
people of color."
