WHAT HAPPENED TO TAMON ROBINSON?
“Tamon Robinson, 27, was allegedly spotted by NYPD around 5:30 AM on April 12th stealing cobblestones from the Bay View Houses, a public housing complex in.
Robinson, the police reported, ran to his mother’s building after being spotted. The police, two officers on foot and others in a patrol car, then chased him onto the sidewalk to cut off his escape.
Despite reports from two eyewitnesses who saw Robinson cornered and then struck by the car, the police maintain that he ran into the car.
Police at the scene pulled Robinson from under the car, yelling ‘Wake up! Wake up!’ before bouncing him off the hood of the car.”
The NYPD now says it is investigating its officer’s role in Mr. Robinson’s death.
How many Mothers will have to bury their sons before we stand up for Justice?
Justice For Tamon, Justice For Them All!”

“On May 1st 2012, a coalition of students and faculty from Brooklyn College, Columbia University, the CUNY Graduate Center, Eugene Lang College, Hunter College, New School for Social Research, New York University, the Occupy University, and Princeton University collaborated to produce a “collective educational experiment”.

This day-long Free University is a form of an education strike in which we, a city-wide coalition of students and faculty, simultaneously withdraw our labor from an increasingly privatized, securitized, and exploitative educational system and redirect our energies towards a vision of what education could be.”

The subways and buses keep New York City running for the 99%, 24 hours, 7 days a week. For the last several years, the fares have been increasing, while train and bus service have been steadily decreasing.

“Despite the fact that buses and subways are supposed to be a public service, the government and the MTA have turned the system backwards. Instead of using our tax money to properly fund transit, Albany and City Hall have intentionally starved transit of public funds for over twenty years; the MTA must resort to bonds (loans from Wall Street) to pay for projects and costs.
“MTA is legally required to funnel tax dollars and fares away from transportation costs and towards interest on these bonds, called “debt service.” This means Wall Street bondholders receive a huge share of what we put into the system through the Metrocards we buy and the taxes we pay: more than $2 billion a year goes to debt service, and this number is expected to rise every year. If trends continue, by 2018 more than one out of every five dollars of MTA revenue will head to a banker’s pockets.”

MTA is using this self-inflicted crisis to not only lower the quality of life for Transit workers but for the entire city.
