LAPD warns ‘legal consequences’ as school walkouts continue - sh.itjust.works

cross-posted from: https://piefed.blahaj.zone/c/los_angeles/p/591532/lapd-warns-legal-consequences-as-school-walkouts-continue [https://piefed.blahaj.zone/c/los_angeles/p/591532/lapd-warns-legal-consequences-as-school-walkouts-continue] > > In a Feb. 16 statement, the LAPD states it’s unlawful for minors under 18 to be in public places, streets, or amusement spots during school hours. Exceptions include emergencies or being with a parent. The department cited state education code requiring that children between the ages of 6 and 18 “must attend a full-time public day school for the full designated day.” > > […] > > > A day later, Bill Essayli, the first assistant U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California, condemned the walkouts in a post on X, saying, “The only thing they will accomplish is ensuring violent agitators will be criminally prosecuted, juveniles included.” Essayli also posted photos of youth he said were sought in connection with a “violent attack on [Federal Protective Service] at our downtown Los Angeles property.” > > It’s an absolutely wild misuse of the criminal justice system to target children exercising their constitutional rights after having their community, friends, and possibly family members terrorized or kidnapped by federal agents. I can’t imagine making those kinds of statements and not immediately wanting to crawl in a hole and die of shame.

Boycott Hilton and Marriott Residence Inn for enabling ICE

https://sh.itjust.works/post/52786523

Boycott Hilton and Marriott Residence Inn for enabling ICE - sh.itjust.works

The Issue Photo Description: Masked agent walking out of the Residence Inn on 600 Queensway Dr, Long Beach, CA 90802 We call on Hilton and Marriott Residence Inn to immediately end all relationships that allow Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to stay, organize, or operate out of their hotels. Hotels should be places of safety and rest—not staging grounds for immigration enforcement that terrorizes neighborhoods and tears families apart. By housing ICE agents, these corporations are contributing to fear, surveillance, and the detention of thousands of people, including parents, workers, and community members. Just recently, the Hilton on 701 W Ocean Blvd, Long Beach, CA 90831, the very same hotel where border patrol is staying, hosted a toy drive organized for a non-profit that benefits local marginalized families. One of the families that received the invitation happened to be a family whose father was kidnapped in a brutal raid by the very same agency that is staying at this hotel. We do not believe that the Hilton was transparent with the risk of hosting events for marginalized communities at their hotel. When ICE is embedded in residential hotel spaces, entire neighborhoods are destabilized. Families are forced to live in constant fear, children are traumatized, and communities lose their sense of safety. School enrollment is at an all-time low due to the precense of ICE in our communities. Hilton and Marriott Residence Inn are not neutral actors in this harm—they profit while families suffer. This is not hospitality. This is complicity. Our Demands We demand that Hilton and Marriott Residence Inn: End all contracts and arrangements that allow ICE or related agencies to use their hotels Adopt a clear, public non-cooperation policy with immigration enforcement Provide transparency about past and current relationships with ICE Commit to keeping hotel properties safe for guests and surrounding communities CALL TO ACTION Until these demands are met, we call for a nationwide boycott of all Hilton and Marriott Residence Inn properties. We urge travelers, organizations, unions, and cities to refuse business with companies that enable harm to our communities. Our neighborhoods are not staging grounds. Our families are not collateral damage. Sign this petition. Share it. Boycott until accountability is achieved *********** En Español Abajo***** Exigimos que Hilton y Marriott Residence Inn pongan fin de inmediato a toda relación que permita a Inmigración y Control de Aduanas (ICE) alojarse, organizarse u operar desde sus hoteles. Los hoteles deben ser espacios de seguridad y descanso, no bases de operaciones para la aplicación de leyes migratorias que aterrorizan vecindarios y destruyen familias. Al hospedar a agentes de ICE, estas corporaciones contribuyen al miedo, la vigilancia y la detención de miles de personas, incluyendo madres y padres, trabajadores y miembros de la comunidad. Recientemente, el Hilton ubicado en 701 W Ocean Blvd, Long Beach, CA 90831, el mismo hotel donde se encuentra hospedada la patrulla fronteriza, fue sede de una colecta de juguetes organizada para una organización sin fines de lucro que apoya a familias locales marginadas. Una de las familias invitadas resultó ser una familia cuyo padre fue secuestrado en una redada brutal por la misma agencia que actualmente se hospeda en ese hotel. No creemos que Hilton haya sido transparente sobre el riesgo que implica albergar eventos dirigidos a comunidades marginadas mientras permite la presencia de ICE en sus instalaciones. Cuando ICE se integra en espacios hoteleros residenciales, vecindarios enteros se desestabilizan. Las familias se ven obligadas a vivir con miedo constante, las infancias son traumatizadas y las comunidades pierden su sentido de seguridad. Hilton y Marriott Residence Inn no son actores neutrales en este daño: obtienen ganancias mientras las familias sufren. Esto no es hospitalidad. Esto es complicidad. Nuestras demandas Exigimos que Hilton y Marriott Residence Inn Pongan fin a todos los contratos y acuerdos que permitan a ICE u otras agencias relacionadas utilizar sus hoteles Adopten una política clara y pública de no cooperación con la aplicación de leyes migratorias Brinden transparencia sobre relaciones pasadas y actuales con ICE Se comprometan a mantener sus propiedades seguras para las personas hospedadas y para las comunidades aledañas LLAMADO A LA ACCIÓN Hasta que estas demandas sean cumplidas, llamamos a un boicot nacional de todas las propiedades de Hilton y Marriott Residence Inn. Instamos a personas viajeras, organizaciones, sindicatos y ciudades a rechazar hacer negocios con empresas que facilitan el daño a nuestras comunidades. Nuestros vecindarios no son bases de operación. Nuestras familias no son daños colaterales. Firma esta petición. Compártela. Boicotea hasta que haya rendición de cuentas.

Call for immediate moratorium on Altadena foreclosures

Call for immediate moratorium on Altadena foreclosures - sh.itjust.works

✍️ PETITION ✍️ When the winds came and the fires burned our community to the ground this past January, we experienced a disaster on a scale we never could have imagined. Now, we are experiencing a second disaster: families are not getting the financial resources they need to stay on their land in Altadena and rebuild. We are witnessing the historic Black community of West Altadena being pushed out. Many of us are still paying mortgage payments on houses that are no longer standing. Many of us don’t have insurance or the insurance isn’t paying. Some of us are even facing foreclosure. So many of us are still figuring out where the money to rebuild is going to come, or how to hang on in the interim - debating whether we can hold out until we get our settlement money from Southern California Edison, which could be a few years away. Gov. Newsome passed AB 238 in September, offering up to a year of mortgage forbearance — but it’s not enough. It relies on homeowners to opt in, and excludes many elderly and displaced residents. With the outstanding cases against SoCal Edison not expected to resolve until 2027, that’s too little, too late. That’s why we are asking Gov. Newsom to Freeze All Fire-Related Foreclosures in Altadena — Keep Altadena Families On Their Land! https://www.change.org/p/stop-the-foreclosures-call-for-immediate-moratorium-on-altadena-foreclosures [https://www.change.org/p/stop-the-foreclosures-call-for-immediate-moratorium-on-altadena-foreclosures]
