Tacoma SDS

The South was not the only place where Americans were denied equal rights. Right here in Washington, people could not get jobs or housing because of their color. The national civil rights movement of the 1950s and 60s helped, but local leaders fought for equal rights in their own way. Learn how in Tacoma's Civil Rights Struggle: African Americans Leading the Way. The exhibit will features a rich collection of artifacts, including photographs and newspaper articles, many not seen in half a century. Organized by the Washington State Historical Society and the Tacoma Civil Rights Project.

The next General Membership Meeting of the Industrial Workers of the World will be on Saturday, September 6 at 7:00 PM at Tully's Coffee (S. 9th and Broadway, downtown Tacoma).

Preamble to the IWW constitution:

The working class and the employing class have nothing in common. There can be no peace so long as hunger and want are found among millions of the working people and the few, who make up the employing class, have all the good things of life.

August 21 * 7 pm. Talk on History of Wright Park.

Tacoma cops arrested Joe LaSac and his camera just after midnight, August 5th 2008 with a charge of criminal trespassing. Jail support bailed Joe out of jail just before 5am Tuesday morning. Joe was arrested while retreating form a parking lot onto the sidewalk at the Port of Tacoma where Tacoma police were threatening protesters with laser pointer equipped tasers.

His arraignment is this Friday at 1:30 pm.
