🎥 “Somebody’s Going to Work” – A Message from James Richards

“You’ve got to be MAD to make a change! Mad enough to take action. Mad enough to demand better. Mad enough to fight for what’s yours.” – James Richards

In this powerful speech, James Richards speaks directly to the people of Hunters Point, urging them to take control of the job opportunities in their community.

💬 “Somebody’s going to work—and it might as well be YOU.”

He reminds us that persistence is the key to unlocking doors. If we stay determined, show up, and refuse to take no for an answer, we WILL get what we’re fighting for.

📢 It’s time to claim the jobs, resources, and opportunities that belong to THIS community. It’s time to make our voices heard and our actions count.

Watch the full video now and feel the fire of change ignite. Your persistence will pave the way.

Don’t let them break us. Don’t let them buy you. They’ve spent centuries trying to divide us, knowing our unity is their downfall. Selling your soul for crumbs while they feast on what’s ours? That’s not the way.

We come from greatness, and we are owed everything they took. Jobs, land, justice, equality—they belong to us. Stop letting them dangle pennies while they steal dollars. Stop letting them use fear and greed to turn us against one another.

It’s time to stand tall, together. No compromises, no sellouts. This fight is bigger than you, me, or any one person. Together, we are unstoppable. Together, we demand what’s rightfully ours.

This is what progress looks like. After relentless ABU protests demanding jobs for locals, our community is seeing results. These workers are more than just a victory—they are proof of what happens when we stand up and refuse to back down.

We fought for this. We earned this. But the fight isn’t over. ABU continues to demand accountability, equality, and opportunity for every resident in our community.

When we unite, we win. Let this be a reminder: change doesn’t come by waiting—it comes by demanding.

ABU in Shoreview. If we don’t work, nobody works!!

Ashley Rhodes speaks 🗣️
Some people face unemployment.
Some people fight it.

The ABU members want construction jobs for their families and their livelihood, and their philosophy is simple: Development projects in San Francisco will hire local workers, not immigrants or out-of-towners. If developers don’t hire locally, they will be shut down. IF WE DONT WORK, DONT NOBODY WORK!!

'When a job site isn't meeting their standards, the group will show up with signs and a bullhorn and will start chanting: "If we don't work, nobody works!" Then they get out the grill and cook some burgers.'

We will get more done together. When people start to go off on their own, and cut side deals it's harder to fight for everyone as a whole. Let's stick together. We can all get work!
