Un plan de acción urgente para enfrentar el macartismo MAGA: la perspectiva socialista

Las acciones masivas de frente único en las calles, organizados por asambleas populares democráticas y un congreso de los sindicatos, pudieran parar Trump y sus planes. Si se combinan con las luchas por dinero para empleos, la salud, y los hogares, y no para la guerra; contra la opresión racial y por la liberación de las mujeres; y con la construcción de un partido de la clase obrera independiente, pudiéramos avanzar hacia la creación de una sociedad basado en las necesidades humanas y no en las ganancias de las grandes empresas. Ven a participar en una discusión con sindicalistas de base Blanca Missé (profesor, líder de esfuerzos de la solidaridad internacional, CA), Dan Piper (maestro, con mucha experiencia organizando la defensa de derechos democráticos y de Palestina, CT) y Russ O’Shea (maquinista, líder de la organización LGBTQI en su taller, CT), para discutir por que nosotros los trabajadores necesitamos nuestro propio partido, y cómo unimos nuestras luchas para ganar el mundo que merecemos
