Corporations will always choose profit over people Corporations will always choose profit over people. They will bend you inch by inch until you snap. And when you finally break, they blame you. 

This is class war. 

We didn’t choose this battle but we intend to win. 

Through unions. Through solidarity. 
Through an organized working class.

We are so proud of our community making their voic We are so proud of our community making their voices heard and getting BERC to cancel their CBP hiring event!!

The folks at BERC have remembered their commitment to Riverside county residents by listening to those they're meant to serve, proving that people working TOGETHER to apply PRESSURE on these structure meant for the Common Good delivers tangible RESULTS.

To quote a resolution passed by Moreno Valley City Council, “Immigrant residents, [no matter their status], are valued and integral members of our social, cultural and economic fabric.” Thank you to all who joined the fight in showing up for each other and ensuring that folks can utilize vital county services while still feeling safe. Join IE DSA today to help ensure continued community care! 🌹
We are calling on our community to reject and shut We are calling on our community to reject and shut down any attempt to bring Customs and Border Protection or Immigration and Customs Enforcement into our city under the guise of “employment opportunities.”
Let’s be clear. Don’t take this job. These agencies are responsible for tearing families apart, targeting our neighbors, and enforcing a system built on fear and displacement. There is nothing neutral about that work.
The Moreno Valley Business and Employment Resource Center has already shown it is susceptible to community pressure by removing this event from both its link tree and its Instagram. That is a step but it is not enough. As a publicly funded institution, BERC has a responsibility to serve the people of this city, not collaborate with agencies that harm them.
We are not against BERC. We are against CBP and ICE being welcomed into our community in any capacity. The correct course of action is clear. Cancel this event immediately, uninvite CBP from the scheduled tabling on 4/30, and commit to never hosting these recruiters again.
We stand in solidarity with immigrants in our community. Moreno Valley is our home and our neighbors will not be targeted without resistance.

Contact BERC and make your voice heard.

Phone: 951-413-3920
Email: berc@moval.org

Tell them to cancel this event, uninvite CBP from 4/30, and cut ties with CBP and ICE.
If the community is ignored, we will make sure we are heard.
On April 1st, IE DSA took the line in solidarity w On April 1st, IE DSA took the line in solidarity with Amazon Teamsters at ONT1 over the unjust firing of Andy, a fellow Amazon worker from DJT6.
 For over 6 hours, the picket line held. Deliveries were shut down, and trucks backed up down the streets, a clear display of worker power.

This is how we force concessions and defend ourselves against illegal retaliation. Workers fight back.

Worker power is built through organizing. United we bargain, divided we beg.

 IE DSA stands in firm solidarity with Amazon workers and all workers fighting exploitation under capitalism.
