The Reality Tour

The city of Rochester, New York Rochester is the 11th worst city in the country in terms of child poverty and fact, Rochester’s Latino child poverty rate is the sixth highest in the nation. As is the case in many cities, poor families in Rochester have been adversely affected by increasing lay-offs and county budget cuts in the area of social services.

The Rochester Chapter of the Social Welfare Action Alliance in coalition with poor people, advocates, and human service workers, have joined together to operationalize a Reality Tour. This 3-hour event takes riders on a tour of blighted areas, a the abandoned subway, the welfare department on St. Paul, House of Mercy, St. Joseph's Neighborhood Center/Health Center, and a vacant lot next to the House of Mercy. The tour has also made other symbolic “tour stops” which emphasize where the community’s spending priorities seem to be (soccer stadiums, prison expansion, etc.).

U.S., French, & UK Imperialist Hands off Niger!

In Niger human rights organizations, trade unions, and opposition parties (including the Niger Party for Democracy and Socialism) are all supporting the coup. 10,000 people rallied in support on February 20th.

Meanwhile the US, France, UK, UN, and African Union all have been quick to condemn the coup.

Tandja did the bidding of U.S. imperialism. Meanwhile, according to the UN Development Program’s 2006 Human Development Index, Niger is the poorest country in the world. Sixty percent of the population lives on less than a dollar a day, life expectancy is only to 45-years old, and adult illiteracy is 71%.
