Fellow Workers!
The annual IWW General Convention is a little more than 2 weeks away! This annual event, set to take place this year in Portland, Oregon, Sept. 1-2, is an exciting opportunity to learn more about the structure of the union, ask questions of our administration, and meet fellow workers from all around the world.
Voting rights at General Convention are restricted to elected branch delegates, but as an IWW member you can still attend and have voice in the sessions. To do so, you need to register right away at our website: gencon.iww.org. If you were already planning on attending, and/or you are an elected branch delegate to the GC, please register right now!

The International Solidarity Commission of the Industrial Workers of the World condemns the actions taken by the Mossos d'Esquadra, Catalonia police. Laura Gómez, the General Secretary of CGT-Barcelona was arrested by the Mossos d'Esquadra for trumped up charges that have no basis in fact. It is obvious that this is nothing more than an act of repression and intimidation in response to the growing workers' mobilizations in Spain. We demand the immediate release of Laura Gómez and the withdrawal of all charges.
We are in solidarity with, and commend, the CGT-Barcelona, Laura Gómez, and the rest of Spain's working class for their ongoing struggle against police repression and labour injustice.
Solidarity Forever,
International Solidarity Commission
Industrial Workers of the World.
