You are invited to an online CPUSA National School, where you'll have a chance to hear presentations and discuss the basics of our Party's outlook and how we apply our understanding to the dramatic political events of the present moment. Topics covered will include political economy, our Marxist view of how social change happens, the limitations of democracy under capitalism, the role of our Party and how it functions, and how we can expand the Party's membership and influence in the current political situation. These classes will be interactive, offering ample opportunity for questions and answers and sharing of local experiences. This is an opportunity not to be missed.

This school is for both Party members and friends; so if you have some political friends and allies you know who haven't (yet) joined our Party, feel free to invite them. This is a perfect way for them to

get to know our Party and benefit from our insights and experiences.
