Black Liberation and Revolutionary Strategy: A Meeting for Black Socialists

On Saturday, February 19, at 4:00 pm EST, Left Voice is hosting a special meeting for Black socialists, hosted by Left Voice members Julia Wallace, Carmin Maffea, and Tristan Taylor.

It is crucial to uncover the revolutionary socialist tradition that is a major part of the struggle for Black liberation in the United States, especially during a time period where even the right to teach Black history is being attacked, and it is equally crucial for us to develop our own revolutionary tradition. We must create a space where we can discuss revolutionary theory and strategy collectively that allows us to chart a pathway to liberation, a pathway that requires a socialist revolution against capitalism.

We invite Black socialists and Black people interested in revolutionary socialism to this meeting where we can share stories of the struggles we are participating in, exchange our assessments of the Black Lives Matter movement, and discuss the type of organizations we think we will need to help us fight for the revolutionary aspirations of Black people free from co-optation and reformism.

All Eyes on Columbia: We Must Build a National Campaign to Defend the Right to Protest for Palestine

After suspending and evicting students and ordering the repression of a student occupation, Columbia University has become the ground zero for attacks against the pro-Palestine movement. What happens at Columbia in the coming days has implications for our basic democratic rights, such as the right to protest.

Against the Criminalization of Opinion and in Defense of Our Right to Support Palestine: We Must Stand Up!

In France, the repression of Palestine supporters is escalating. A conference by La France Insoumise (LFI) has been banned; a union leader has been arrested and charged for speaking out for Palestine; court cases have increased against those who “condone terrorism”; and the state has stepped up its “anti-terrorism” efforts. In the face of all this, we must stand together.
