We are a group of union activists and supporters of the labor movement in the New York City area. We come from different experiences, political backgrounds, and points of view. Some are politically independent. But we agree that a new society is needed – of, by, and for working people: socialism. We include union officers, staffers and rank-and-file; active and retired; organized and unorganized,
and students and young people. We welcome immigrants and native born. No people are “illegal.”
We hold monthly meetings where we discuss the direction of labor and other movements, and plan action to help turn political discontent into people's power. LLP has four principles we use to keep us on course:
* We are an explicitly socialist, working class organization.
* We believe that a multiracial, multinational working class forms the core for short and long-range movements for change in the U.S.
* Affiliated groups and individual members work on initiatives that the LLP supports, but LLP as a group does not interfere in the internal affairs of unions or other outside organizations.
* All meetings end by 8 pm!
