Build a Labor Party: A voice for the working class and oppressed

Recent strikes alongside mass protests against the genocide in Gaza show an increased willingness to fight injustices inherent in capitalism. Yet the leaders of labor and social movements have historically turned toward the Democratic Party and status quo electoral politics instead of maintaining mobilizations in the streets, on the job, and on campuses, where working people have real strength.

Join us for a discussion about breaking from the two-party trap and building an independent Labor Party rooted in today’s struggles.
