Text in large bold font that says β€˜Boycott Avelo’

Underneath, smaller text says β€˜No flights for deportations.’

Underneath that there are two sentences, one says β€˜Avelo Airlines has a $150 million contract with ICE to fly deportation flights, but Charleston Intl Airport partnered with Avelo to offer flights to New Haven, CT.’

the other says 'Join DSA in boycotting Avelo and protesting their partnership with our airport!'

America’s economic woes go all the way back to Reagan-era policies. πŸ“‰πŸ’Έ

Since the 1980s, both political parties have existed to serve one class: the wealthy.

This isn't about safety. It’s about suppressing dissent.

ATTENTION:
Protestors do not get paid by shadow organizations.

We do not require the incentive of personal gain to care about other people’s rights.

Empathy is not a myth, it’s the reason why humanity still exists.

YOU’RE WELCOME.

EVERYDAY PEOPLE
Welcome to a New Movement
Everyday People is a new grassroots effort to drive white supremacists out of power.
How? A nationwide fast from spending. White supremacist violence is perpetuated to funnel money into the pockets of the rich. So, one day a week, we refuse to participate.
We're calling it Fasting Fridays, and it's as simple as it sounds. Along the way to reaching our goal of no more white supremacists in power anywhere across the land, we think we'll hit some benchmarks. We've defined ten, and they're aimed at the federal government:
β€’ Bring back DEI
β€’ Hands off education
β€’ Economic justice
β€’ Hands off immigrants
β€’ Guarantee trans rights & safety
β€’ Guarantee Palestinian safety, right of return & aid
β€’ Hands off disabled people
β€’ Reproductive rights
β€’ Reduce policing and incarceration
β€’ Protect the planet
We're calling on all community members to join us Wednesday, June 18, 2025 at 10:30 AM at Circular Congregational Church for our inaugural press conference. Friday, June 20, 2025, we begin our fast.

Yes, the Trump White House and DHS shared a poster first circulated by a white nationalist who has defended use of the n-word and shared material from an explicitly neo-Nazi X account. More very fine people!

Trump is starting the dehumanization process to get the military ready to fire on US citizens on US soil. To get the military to that point, they must see fellow Americans as enemies and less than human.

These are the seeds of mass atrocities.

In the last 20 or so minutes I’ve seen LAPD officers shove women to the ground without provocation, rip a sign out of a man’s hand and then swing a baton into his leg and raise a less-lethal launcher to aim
directly at a protester (which I’m 99% is a major policy violation.)

It's worthwhile to pause for a moment and think about what a military operation to establish control over a major American city - let's say Los Angeles - would actually look like. The city of LA, which excludes most of the metro area, has nearly 4 million inhabitants. LA county has 10 million.
