Berkeley, CA: Long Haul is Still Here

From Slingshot, Issue #142: Spring, 2025
By Jesse D. Palmer

There’s finally good news about the threat that the Long Haul radical community center will be torn down to build an 8 story apartment building. Slingshot has had its offices at Long Haul for more than 30 years. After all the other tenants in the building moved out in January, the landlord announced that they’re now accepting applications to fill the vacant spaces — with no mention of tearing the building down.

The Tower’s Statement on Backlash after the Bernier Demo

From North Shore Counter-Info, Hamilton, Ontario (From The Tower’s Facebook)

In the few days since the counter-demo against the Bernier event at Mohawk College, there has been an intense backlash against antifascists. In particular, we see as particularly vile the targeting of an organizer based in Toronto named Alaa, who immigrated to Canada from Syria. We are enraged to see him subjected to racist insults and threats targeting both himself and his family. This backlash has latched on to a video of an elderly person having an uncomfortable few minutes and being slightly delayed. This person experienced no harm, she’s fine, and afterwards went to a bunch of media outlets where she made comments about how her interest in Bernier stems from concerns about the Middle East, specifically Syrians, and how they have different values from ours.
