About the Research The purpose of the ACCESS trial was to determine which of two standard treatments, if any, results in better outcome: (1) Initial cardiac catheterization laboratory (CCL) admis- sion, or (2) initial intensive care unit (ICU) admission in adults 18-80 years of age success- fully resuscitated from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and no signs of a heart attack on tracings of the heartbeat. This study was performed at 26 research sites throughout the United States and Canada. Medical College of Wisconsin and Froedtert Hospital was one of the sites that performed this research and entered 8 patients. Patients were included in the study following in- formed consent with the patient, their next-of-kin, or using exception from informed con- sent under emergency circumstances if the patient was unable to speak and next-of-kin could not be found. A total of 65 patients were entered into the ACCESS trial between Janu- ary, 2018 and July, 2019; 68% were male with an average age of 64 years. Of the 65 pa- tients, 75% were Caucasian, 15% were African-American, 8% were of unknown race, 1.6% were Native American, 1.6% were Asian, 3% of patients were Hispanic, and 23% were of un- known ethnicity. Study Results The ACCESS trial was stopped early, in July, 2019, because the rate of subject enrollment was too low. The study results showed no difference in patient outcomes between treat- ment with initial CCL admission compared to initial ICU admission, including survival and functionally favorable survival at hospital discharge and 3 months following hospital dis- charge.

  • Resources on Racial Justice June 8, 2020
    Resources on Racial Justice June 8, 2020 1 7 Anti-Racist Books Recommended by Educators and Activists from the New York Magazine https://nymag.com/strategist/article/anti-racist-reading- list.html?utm_source=insta&utm_medium=s1&utm_campaign=strategist By The Editors of NY Magazine With protests across the country calling for systemic change and justice for the killings of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and Tony McDade, many people are asking themselves what they can do to help. Joining protests and making donations to organizations like Know Your Rights Camp, the ACLU, or the National Bail Fund Network are good steps, but many anti-racist educators and activists say that to truly be anti-racist, we have to commit ourselves to the ongoing fight against racism — in the world and in us. To help you get started, we’ve compiled the following list of books suggested by anti-racist organizations, educators, and black- owned bookstores (which we recommend visiting online to purchase these books). They cover the history of racism in America, identifying white privilege, and looking at the intersection of racism and misogyny. We’ve also collected a list of recommended books to help parents raise anti-racist children here. Hard Conversations: Intro to Racism - Patti Digh's Strong Offer This is a month-long online seminar program hosted by authors, speakers, and social justice activists Patti Digh and Victor Lee Lewis, who was featured in the documentary film, The Color of Fear, with help from a community of people who want and are willing to help us understand the reality of racism by telling their stories and sharing their resources.

    This issue brought to you by New Jersey Governor: Can Murphy Break The Curse? By Jacob Rubashkin FEBRUARY 5, 2021 VOLUME 5, NO. 3 Not long ago, New Jersey Gov.

  • The Role of Police in a Racist-Capitalist Society
    The Role of Police in a Racist-Capitalist Society. Defunding and Dismantling the US Police Being Fiercely Debated Amid the national unrest law-enforcement has been documented committing further acts of misconduct and brutality By Abayomi Azikiwe Region: USA Global Research, June 11, 2020 Theme: Intelligence, Law and Justice, Police State & Civil Rights, Poverty & Social Inequality Since the videotaped violent murder of African AmericanGeorge Floyd in Minneapolis on May 25, there has been an upsurge in antiracist and anti-police brutality demonstrations and rebellions spanning across the United States. When Darnella Frazier, the 17-year-old woman who captured this horrendous police action on her cellphone and later posting it to social media, the debate around the role and status of police forces came to fore. Floyd’s killing represented a long legacy of systematic racist violence directed towards African Americans by law-enforcement agents and vigilantes. These deaths at the hands of police, racist organizations and individuals are often allowed to take place without any legal consequences for the perpetrators. Other high profile cases involving the shooting deaths Ahmaudof Arbery in Georgia and Breonna Taylor in Louisville, served to heighten the level of social tensions leading to a myriad of expressions which oppose the historic treatment of African Americans. One issue which has created much concern from the perspective of the U.S. ruling class is the idea of defunding or even dismantling the police. Slogans raised by demonstrators over the period since May 25 labelling police as inherently racist and brutal, are being reflected in the debates taking place throughout the corporate media.

    For Immediate Release For More Information June 8, 2021 Thad Nation, 414-412-7814 Tom Gergerich, 414-315-8129 IATSE LOCAL 18 ENDORSES ALEX LASRY FOR U.S. SENATE MILWAUKEE – The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) Local 18 announced its endorsement of Alex Lasry for the United States Senate today. “IATSE Local 18 could not be more proud to endorse Alex Lasry to be the next United States Senator from the State of Wisconsin,” said Tom Gergerich, Business Manager for IATSE Local 18. “We worked directly with Alex when we organized the stagehands at Fiserv Forum and we have seen first hand his commitment to organized labor. Alex is our best shot at replacing Ron Johnson in Washington and is clearly the candidate that will be a major champion for labor in the Senate. “Our unionizing efforts with Alex and the Bucks was one of the most open, pro-union experiences we have ever had with an employer. Alex opened the doors for us to use card check during the organizing process, and the Bucks immediately recognized the signed cards and agreed to neutrality. IATSE handed the cards in, they were counted, we had a majority, and the Bucks recognized IATSE. “None of this would have happened without Alex’s leadership.” The historic agreement to unionize Fiserv Forum stagehands went into effect on June 1, 2019. Prior to the enactment of this agreement, the stagehands at the Bradley Center were not unionized. "I couldn’t be more pleased to have been endorsed by IATSE Local 18," said Alex Lasry.
