Looking to Fight Trump & the Right but Don’t Know How?
Want a World that Puts Human Need Over Corporate Greed?

Come to Our Organizing Fair Tomorrow Night!

Tomorrow! Tues, Jan. 28, 7pm-9pm

El Centro de la Raza (2524 16th Ave S)

This past week has driven the point home: we have our work cut out for us. From immigration sweeps in schools and workplaces and attacks on our queer & trans neighbors, to dismantling what modest reforms working people have won over the decades and now open suggestions of further wars abroad, Trump’s second term in office poses a threat to the working-class and marginalized peoples everywhere.

But let us be clear.

Years of failed neoliberal and imperialist policies by Democrats and Republicans alike sowed the seeds of this cancerous rot. From the decimation of the industrial heartland and war on organized labor to the death-by-a-thousand-cuts of basic public services to fund wars and the unchecked exercise of corporate influence in our elections, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that many Americans have become disillusioned by the status quo. Put simply, politics as usual is a dead-end.

Let us not despair, however. As the famous battle hymn of the working class puts it:

In our hands is placed a power greater than their hoarded gold / Greater than the might of armies magnified a thousand fold / We can bring to birth a new world from the ashes of the old / For the union makes us strong.

We still have it in us to change this world for the better. From our workplaces to our homes, within our neighborhoods and community organizations, we are more numerous and powerful than the ruling class wants to admit. As "Solidary Forever" reminds us, it is our collective strength that ultimately ensures our collective liberation. Not some savvy politician or media star, nor some corporate campaign or the latest tech craze, but the conscious actions of you and me.

Join us for a special January general membership meeting as we host a fair to help organizers new and veteran alike get involved, however and wherever they can. We all have a role to play in this struggle, every single one of us. When we fight together, we win!

Socialist Book Club this Wednesday!

Everything you’ve ever wanted to know about the Communist Manifesto but were too afraid to ask!

This Wed., Jan. 29, 7:30pm-8:30pm

RSVP for Zoom link

In just a few pages the Communist Manifesto lays out a revolutionary theory of change and how history and society develops, the class divisions in society, the centrality of class struggle, the working class being the motive force for a fundamental transformation of society, the role of the state, and more!

We welcome you to our socialist book club where we meet monthly to provide a space for discussion of classic and modern socialist texts!

This month we will be reading:

The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels
The compilation The ABCs of Socialism edited by Bhaskar Sunkara

Both of these texts are available for free online. While finishing them is recommended, we welcome you to attend even if you have not finished them!
