6. The right to a job or an income
The oppressed and workers have a right to employment.
Many young people have dropped out of the job market
altogether, because of the dim prospects of securing a gainful,
well-paying job.
A large swath of territory was devastated by the deindustrialization
period in the U.S. This did not have to happen.
Oppressed people and workers should not have to pay for the
greed and mismanagement of corporations. Those who work
should be able to determine the fate of their jobs.
There is much that could be done in the U.S. A program
of much-needed improvements in infrastructure, especially
in the inner city, would provide for hundreds of thousands
of jobs. Young people could take pride in being productive
members of society, instead of the dread that they face because
of an uncertain future.
7. The right to a clean and healthy environment
Workers have the right to breathe clean air, drink safe
water and consume healthy, untainted foods. Capitalism has
threatened this right through profit-driven industrial pollution
and the damaging effects of imperialist wars of conquest.
Young workers and students are particularly impacted by
environmental degradation as the true effects of today’s pollution
will be felt decades from now.
We demand an end to the environmental racism exemplified
by selective enforcement of environmental rules and
regulations in communities of color, the intentional targeting
of these communities for placement of polluting industries,
and the exclusion of these community leaders from regulatory
bodies.
We demand worker and community control of industry
