"We heard F-16s and F-35s overhead every night going to bomb Gaza. We heard dogs barking that menaced us daily. Every single day, riot groups would come to our cells with tear gas, riot gear and German shepherds to terrify and terrorise us."

We were proud to join comrades across Europe and the world in Paris to demand an end to war and to strengthen international coordination against the genocide in Palestine.

We join their call to say: Not a penny, not a weapon, not a human life for war!

Tired of status quo politicians not fulfilling their promises as we descend further into fascism?
Tired of voting every 4 years just to see things only get worse?
Tired of vibes based politics and want to see real policy proposals that uplift the working class?

I crunched the numbers: the three largest state organizations of the old Socialist Party were Washington, Oregon, & Wisconsin (controlled for pop size)

But only in WI did the socialists consistently lead the union movement, & only in WI was socialism's base broad enough for big electoral victories

What is S.323?

South Carolina Senate Bill 323 seeks to create a near-total abortion ban with virtually no exceptions.

As democratic socialists, we believe reproductive freedom is a human right. That means free, safe, and legal abortion as part of universal healthcare.

Abortion isn’t just a right.

it’s medically necessary to protect the health of the host (the word “host“ is striked out and replaced with mother). whoops sorry did we say host? we definitely meant mother because S.323 isn't completely, disgustingly dehumanizing at all...
vote no on s.323

Are you and your co-workers planning to be part of a nationwide show of power less than three years from now?

Visit the new Labor Notes resource at May2028.org for guides on organizing with your fellow union members, co-workers, and members of your community

A graphic announcing Labor Notes resources for actions around May Day 2028 and beyond. The graphic features the title "May Day 2028" in large red block letters, set against a sloping, translucent, textured background. The graphic features the image of workers gathered outside at a demonstration, holding unions signs that read, "Stand, Unite, Fight." The text laid on top of the graphic reads, "Coordinate contract expirations; Identify Points of Leverage and Build Support In Your Local." The text on the bottom left corner directs the audience to visit may2028.org
