Gather at the southeast corner of 6th and Park View at 9:45 am
Zoom discussion, Sunday, April 26 at 1 pm
As the U.S. ruling class escalates its war on Iran, they’re ramping up brutal domestic attacks against workers using ICE, and our economic conditions are worsening by the day. Gas and food prices are going up while [Teamster President] Sean O’Brien is basically there to ensure the Teamsters keeps bleeding members. On this call, union members will present on how we are organizing to ABOLISH ICE! and OPPOSE IMPERIALIST WARS!, plus how we can build up our ability to wage militant strikes-including preparing for a GENUINE GENERAL STRIKE! We must struggle to oppose union misleaders who collaborate with the bosses, the state, and Democratic Party-led nonprofits like 50501 and Indivisible, which only seek to co-opt and defang working class struggle.
This May Day, let’s revive the history of fierce working class struggle against the capitalists!
