Democratic National Convention
Today, we are living in an historic moment. All over the world, and here in the United States, people are rejecting their government’s support for Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. Millions in the Arab world, in the Global South, and in the West have taken to the streets to say No More War/End the Israeli Occupation/Free Palestine. But the leaders are not listening to the majority voices. When 60% of Americans are calling for a ceasefire and only a dismal few representatives have come forward to actually introduce and support legislation calling for a ceasefire, the system is beyond broken. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is even accusing people who support Palestinians of being agents for Russia, and President Genocide Joe Biden has proudly declared himself a Zionist while sending billions of dollars to Israel to kill more Palestinians. It is time for us, the people, to refuse once and for all, to be the silenced majority.
Building an open revolutionary movement and party is non-negotiable under the unsustainable
global capitalist and imperialist system that keeps billions of people around the world in poverty,
oppression, exploitation, violence, and environmental catastrophes.
On August 19-22, thousands of working people are traveling to Chicago to protest Biden and the Democratic Party that has been arming and enabling the Zionist occupation of Palestine and the genocide of the Palestinian people in Gaza.
People across the world have taken action to oppose the Palestinian genocide, as well as the ongoing and imperialist-driven genocides in Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and in Yemen. The Biden Administration, the Democratic Party, and the aligned Republican Party have responded to protest movements by unleashing state repression and police violence. “Cop Cities” are being built all over the country with the intent to strengthen and build up the state’s armed forces in preparation for the rebellion of the people as they continue to strip away all our rights. The hard right turns being taken by the ruling class is also emboldening far right and fascist forces to take action.
