💡 Black Socialist Spotlight 💡
|
Kwame Ture, born Stokely Carmichael in Trinidad in 1941, was a prominent figure in the civil rights and Pan-African movements and is well-known for calling for and popularizing the term black power. While attending Howard University, he led the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). During his time with SNCC, Ture was one of the original freedom riders. He was later named the Honorary Prime Minister of the Black Panther Party. Ture re-established himself in Guinea after being targeted by the FBI’s COINTELPRO program. In Guinea, he changed his name from Stokely Carmichael to Kwame Ture in honor of two early leaders of the Pan-African movement, Sekou Touré and Kwame Nkrumah. Until his death in 1998, he led the All-African People’s Revolutionary Party and campaigned for revolutionary socialist Pan-Africanism and against U.S. imperialism.

✊ Save the Date: Union Reform 101 ✊
|
All over the country, workers are organizing on the shop floor to build strong, militant, and democratic unions. From Teamsters for a Democratic Union (TDU) to Unite all Workers for Democracy (UAWD), the impact of union reform movements is loud and clear. Labor union reform caucuses have helped elect union leadership that's willing to put up a fight - helping Teamsters secure a historic union contract, and leading UAW to launch an unprecedented strike led by the rank-and-file.
Join Atlanta DSA's labor committee on Sunday, February 25 for an info session and workshop on union reform caucuses. We'll cover topics like: What is the goal of union reform? What are some examples of successful union reform movements? How can you get involved in your local union reform efforts?
This workshop is open to anyone, although union members are strongly encouraged to attend.
