ManifestaciĂł 3 anys i mig sens Brian
Ajuntament de RubĂ, dissabte, 7 de febrer, a les 17:00 CET
Al Brian RĂos tambĂ© el va matar el racisme policial.
El 7 de febrer de 2023 vam sortir als carrers de RubĂ per primera vegada per a exigir justicia per Brian RĂos. La seva famĂlia estava trencada, amb poca xarxa i poca informaciĂł: per primera vegada van sentir el suport i l'estima de les que organitzem la rĂ bia i la necessitat de suport mutu.
3 anys desprĂ©s, hem aconseguit que aquest cas sigui un referent de la lluita contra el racisme institucional i les morts sota custĂČdia policial. I aquest 2026, portarem a judici al metge que va atendre al Brian.
Per aixĂČ, aquest 7 de febrer ens necessitem a totes de nou als carrers de RubĂ! Per escalfar motors de cara al judici, i seguir exigint veritat, justĂcia, reparaciĂł i garanties de no repeticiĂł per la mort del Brian.
3 anys i mig sense Brian: Mossos d'Esquadra, Policia Local, MĂștua Terrassa, NO OBLIDEM!
Avui més que mai: les vides migrants importen.

đ„the "Rural Urban Bridge Initiative" đ„
#RUBI's emergence alongside similar organizations like
đž"Contest Every Race",
đžthe "Center for Working-Class Politics",
đž"More Perfect Union",
andđž "Dirt Road Democrats",
comes at a precarious moment in national politics.
Not only is the Democratic brand now routinely described as âtoxicâ outside of deep-blue cities and college towns,
but the meaning and purpose of 21st-century progressivism seems uncertain,
with many supporters believing it has deviated,
at least partially,
from its populist and #New #Deal origins.
Some activists are beginning to entertain the nonpartisan path taken by independent #Dan #Osborn,
who since losing to Republican incumbent Deb Fischer in last yearâs U.S. Senate race in Nebraska,
has started a "Working Class Heroes Fund"
to back future insurgents.
But harrowing political defeats do create a windowâat least temporarilyâto take aim at ossified party structures and discredited strategies.
For organizers like #Flaccavento and #Etelson, these candid assessments are essential to mapping a recovery.
Though #RUBI aims, in part, to overhaul the activist PR-speak that typically puts off rural and less-educated workers,
Flaccavento,
who is steeped in rural development issues,
is frank about the big picture that most D.C. consultants and their paymasters evade.
âïžâEven the most down-to-earth language ainât going to cut it until we address why so many people are pissed,â he says.
A significant part of RUBIâs work involves exploring how Democrats and the modern left went wrong with rural Americans.
Thatâs what âreally differentiates us from almost every other rural group out there,â
says Flaccavento,
âwhich are more either trying to find better candidates
or just trying to make the case that the Democratic Party is the right party.â
Flaccavento is adamant that progressives have to comprehensively recognize that they have been in a losing battle to
âpersuade [blue-collar rural] people that we really are for them when they donât buy it anymore.â
RUBIâs work is about more than dissecting the weaknesses of contemporary progressivism, however.
Its major policy document,
âA Rural New Deal,â
co-published with "Progressive Democrats of America",
champions and expands upon the best aspects of President Bidenâs domestic legacy,
particularly in the areas of antitrust enforcement
and re-establishing regional supply chains.
But unlike many D.C.-based think tanks,
RUBI and its allies are not trying to graft a left-leaning technocratic agenda onto rural workers based on an abstract assumption of what they most need.
Instead, RUBI is concerned with reimagining what
â
âbottom-up prosperityâ
looks like
in this age of regional inequality,
-- and retrieving the policy tools that give local communities âthe capacity,â
as Flaccavento puts it,
âto solve many if not most of their problems.â

Until Sen. Bernie Sanders began holding rallies in Republican-held districts to address DOGEâs destructive impact on federal workers and programs,
most progressives had not dared to dream of rural America as fertile ground for a backlash.
But itâs central to the concept of the "Rural Urban Bridge Initiative" ( #RUBI ),
a group determined to breathe new life into rural organizing strategies.
Conceived in early 2020 by
#Anthony #Flaccavento, a small farmer, former Democratic congressional candidate,
and community organizer in southern Virginia, and
#Erica #Etelson,
a political writer and former public-interest attorney based in California,
-- RUBI is kindling a new way to approach -- and ultimately advance -- rural concerns within the progressive movement.
Through training sessions,
reports from local experts,
policy development,
and traditional volunteer work,
RUBI hopes to #depolarize rural politics and persuade other activist groups to #engage in good faith with the needs, fears, and aspirations of rural communities.
RUBIâs most prominent effort to date is its campaign to convince the "Democratic National Committee" and the broader fundraising network on the left
đto devote substantially more resources to rural causes.
Since #Ken #Martin, chair of the "Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party",
was elected in February to head the DNC,
RUBI has lobbied him to allocate $400 million
â10 percent of the Democratic ad buy for the 2024 general election
âtoward rural districts and candidates.
Although RUBI has yet to secure Martinâs commitment,
co-signatories to the public letter include Rep. #Ro #Khanna (D-CA),
author and sociologist #Arlie #Hochschild,
veteran Texas populist #Jim #Hightower,
two state party chairs
and dozens of county committees,
and scores of other individuals and organizations
alarmed by Democratic decline in rural areas.
â Rural strategists hope to change the narrative and trajectory of American politics by transforming the everyday ways progressives think of and relate to left-behind Americans.
Regardless of the DNCâs final decision,
the campaign testifies to the perseverance of rural progressive populism.
It reflects, too, a growing recognition on the part of local groups committed to the welfare of rural workers
-- that they are not isolated in their anger over how national Democrats have burned through billions of dollars in the last several election cycles without improving their position in a single âpurpleâ state.
đDuring Barack Obamaâs presidency, Democrats lost well over a thousand congressional, statewide, and local down-ballot offices.
Tentative gains in critical presidential swing states since 2018 have been largely offset by Trumpâs comeback;
-- He won all seven in November.
Other states where Democrats used to be competitive across the board,
such as Florida and Ohio,
are poised to go the way of Missouri, Indiana, and Arkansas.
A recent study from the "Carsey School of Public Policy" at the University of New Hampshire suggests that
đŻa shift among rural voters to Kamala Harris of just 3 percent could have led her to victory over Donald Trump.
đIf even just a few dozen rural Democrats from the South and Midwest won back offices controlled by the GOP,
there could be a tectonic shift in how the party competes at the gubernatorial, congressional, and presidential levels.
As RUBIâs founders know well,
it is a herculean task just to get the party elite to admit the main facts
âthat austerity, trade shocks, and monopoly power have distressed rural America
âmuch less own their own culpability in these issues.
But although it is tempting to place all the blame on party elites, the same, unfortunately, can often be said of the major progressive groups that have cropped up since the Bush years,
Flaccavento argues.
The overriding focus,
he says, on
âcall[ing] out how horrible the Republicans are 24/7â
has left little energy to discuss what matters to rural folks:
đâjobs, employment, the economy, livelihoods, manufacturing, trade policy, [and] antitrust.â
đ„This, then, is how rural strategists hope to change the narrative and trajectory of American politics:
not through conferences, white papers, and viral media,
âïžbut by transforming the everyday ways progressives think of and relate to left-behind Americans.
