SLCAADTF has been an advocate of the downtrodden, the marginalized and disenfranchised in the Salt Lake City area, whether they're victims of racial and ethnic discrimination, economic inequality, classism, xenophobia or gender inequity.
We partner with other existing community groups to effect lasting policy changes affecting each subgroup discriminated against whether as subtle microaggressions or macroaggressions like hate crimes, even illegal police violence/conduct toward others in the areas we serve. Thereby influencing change with high profile events that is in the name of discouraging hate like a poetry night at a coffee shop, voter registration drive, etc.

From our on going satire called:
Despite What You Might Be Seeing in Our Well-balanced Corporate Media- An Ethnic Parody WARNING: If Sarcasm and Parody Offends You, Read Something Else 2016 HISTORY MONTH RECAPS Luigi: Yo, José I hope you had a really good 'Hispanic Heritage Month' LAST summer, but now that the new year is here, not to bust your balls, it's just a month away from 'Black Heritage Month' or African-American History Month, all during February. Mama mia! Also, for Asians the Chinese new year is coming soon- that's like Asian History month right Leroy? Leroy: Oh, wait up during the fall season there was 'Italian Heritage Month dedicated to the greatest imperial power of continental Europe- I attribute them to the imperialism we all enjoy today- I joke of course. You descendants of Roman conquests have taught the 'industrial world to export oppression. Was it to compensate for something phallic object they might be lacking elsewhere. That's what Sigmund Freud taught us. Luigi: Mama mia! Leroy you're on a roll- did you get some last night? Leroy: Yeah, does it make you feel better- me saying that? José: Take it easy guys. Don't forget about the Spanish Empire- they rivaled the English for the total lands dominated- which excluded only one habitable continent- Australia. And for the record, Chris Columbus wasn't Spanish, he was Italian (or Genoese to be exact), truly from Latin origins. Luigi: Okay, We take full responsibility for our involvement in colonizing the New World, I can't apologize for for one knuckle head's actions who ruined other people's way of life- it's not why we got a month to justify our worst contributions to mankind. Look at Amerigo Vespucci, Al Capone, the mobster and yeah Benito Mussolini the father of Fascism. So despite what you might have seen in our well-balanced corporate media we aren't only here making pizza or breaking knee caps. Ha, Ha, Ha. Leroy: One thing can be said for sure regardless what you feel about colonialism is- there's likely a good reason people other than most Europeans nationalities do have a month because most of these group haven't participated in expansionist campaigns to dominate others for some form of exploit- usually for economic gains and for the spread of its influence largely with the Iberian and Arab expansionist invasions. |
"We all know where that tradition began- naming a month after a specific group that’s outside of the mainstream," Leroy
Luigi: Often overlooked in imperialism are the Chinese Dynasties and Russians who have battled each other for centuries to control the most real estate in the world's largest continent. Leroy: Thanks my Italian brother. Whatever the month- my people continue to be media magnets right. I remember 2014 as the year of terror on my people who would have thought it would come during an over-hyped 'African-American as U.S. president,' that's pure irony. Let's look back before the #Blacklivesmatter campaign started what went on in the headlines last year because maybe these months are becoming politicized, but my people need all of the positive images that we can get for damage control. Right now, it seems things have gotten outta hand, by the "electronic lynching" in the media right now, and February thankfully isn't far away. Check it out: We need to counter all of the scapegoating that’s going on by the corporate [White-owned] possibly Jewish media that likes to target who else? My people- especially the Brothers. Lately, from El Presidente on down to the insignificant Kanye West, instead of overlooking our stepchildren the media declares an ‘open season’ on us. WTF! Like we are the reasons behind all of this nation’s social ills. Follow me: 1) Pres. Obama (Alive)- Blamed for everything going on in the country especially that they- you know who- don’t like. From the border, to healthcare and in Iraq, again. Prez you tell’em to suck off your executive…. 2) Michelle O, the 1st Lady (Alive)- She’s blamed and vilified in the media just for being married to the Commander-in –Chief. (Girl keep ya head up- tell’em to kiss your healthy Southside Chi-town ass) As for the next, 3) Michael Brown (Dead, wrong place, wrong town)- he is blamed from the grave by these KKK-types who fault him for being in the Nazi officer’s way- since he was unarmed with his hands up, he had to be taught a lesson so he was shot dead. Also, he is to blame by other Nazis for a new trend in policing- to opened fire like target practice on the poor- especially on non-Whites who get in their way while in the line of duty. How dare they start race rioting on Obama’s watch? 4) Ray “Sock-it-to me” Rice- ([Alive] fired by the NFL) He was hardly a household name until last week. Now, he’s blamed for all the damn domestic violence in America now. Now the NFL “witch hunt” is underway by Roger Goodell to take the pressure off him to resign, as commissioner of the league. 5) Adrian Peterson- ([Alive] suspended by the NFL, arrested for spanking his son) He revealed to the nation and Charles Barkley confirmed that, by daring that if every Black parent in the South is charged for whipping their kids then they’ll be jailed “under those circumstances.” Is it a shock that the violence they took to the field started by having their little asses spanked on? |
Coming soon to Youtube our Photo commentary, "In Utah We Water Our Rocks"
This is a revealing and shocking account of how millions of gallons of precious water, which translates into millions of dollars are being wasted in one desert highland community.
Amazing irony here: NEWS FLASH!!! Xeriscaping is intended to conserve water not waste it Utah

Dissenters For Justice -
What we Believe
Those who practice 'communal traditions' feel that the special interests dividing people today into workers, professionals, managers, and so on would be [better] melded into a general interest in which people see themselves as citizens guided strictly by the needs of their community and region rather than by personal proclivities and vocational concerns.1 Thus, ... the public good would supplant class and hierarchical interests.2 [Ibid] Dissenters For Justice and the SLC Area Anti-Discrimination Task Force agrees with the community's overall shared interests rather than self-indulgence.
Anarcho-syndicalism as an ecomonic model calls for a greater focus on the labour movement than previous forms of anarchism, syndicalism advocates radical trade unions as a potential force for revolutionary social change, replacing capitalism and the state with a new society...self-managed by the workers. [3] One acceptable solution among adherents resembles economic models practiced in cooperatives and guilds, primarily in guild socialism, a political movement advocating workers' control of industry... unlike the existing trade unions, would not confine their demands to matters of wages and conditions but would seek to obtain control of industry for the workers whom they represented... [however,] as an alternative to state control of industry or conventional trade union activity associated more with a free market.----------------------------------
Conclusion- What we Believe
...(capitalist) economy where capital special interests hire labor for its conventional firms- that conflicts with basic socialist-marxist ideals to achieve a "self-managed economy not purely based on money or state, nevertheless anarcho-syndicalism goes a step further which advocates mistrust of monetized state systems because such ideals lead to power and ultimately, "power corrupts."[4]

Finale-
Last Halloween on a night flight I heard:.
British Dan: "What words exactly?"
Attendant: "What you just said, sir."
Dan: "I was saying pardon my sense of humor."
Attendant: "No, you said concealed bomb- terrorist!"
[All of the passengers begin screaming in panic]
"We're gonna die!"
[Pilot Announces] "ATTN. all passengers there's no concealed bomb or terrorist aboard, but we'll be making a stop-over to eject one unruly passenger."
British Dan: [Sighing] "Oh great, serves these foreigners right"
Co-pilot: "Passenger Dan Thomas report to the rear of the plane"
-- Drink responsibly
