Release from the Workers World Party:
Dear sisters and brothers,
We would like to extend a special invitation to you to attend this year’s Workers World Party National Conference on Nov. 15 and 16.
Why is it important to come? We are in the midst of a deepening capitalist global crisis, which has unleashed imperialist war on Iraq, Syria, Gaza, Africa and the world, and militarized racist police terror here at home. It has brought about the widespread impoverishment of the working class and oppressed peoples, many of them migrants and women, on a worldwide basis.
At the same time, we have witnessed the heroic resistance of the people, especially the youth of Ferguson, Mo., Palestine, and Ukraine — and the rising movement of low-wage workers at home and abroad.
What better time for revolutionary socialists to get together and discuss our perspectives and strategies for building a struggle for revolutionary socialism.
In the words of Che Guevara: “The revolution is not an apple that falls when it is ripe. You have to make it fall.”
This gathering will strengthen you politically. There, you will get a chance to talk to and meet with revolutionary socialists of all ages and nationalities from around the country.
Be prepared to not only listen, learn and discuss, but afterwards to go back to your city, town or region ready to fight for an anti-capitalist, pro-socialist future.
It is important to make plans as soon as possible as conference organizers need to arrange for adequate housing, food, day care and more. The conference will be held in the Auditorium at 45-35 Van Dam St. and Thomson Avenue in Long Island City, Queens, N.Y.
If you cannot attend, please help to sponsor through your donations those who do not have the financial means to travel, especially younger and low-income participants.
We hope to see you on Nov.15 and 16.
In solidarity,
Larry Holmes
WWP First Secretary
Sharon Black
National Committee member
