Today, workers and unions across the country turned out for a national day of action in support of abortion. Representing UFT, HCT, Starbucks Workers United, RWDSU, NYSNA, and others, workers marched in protests across the country carrying signs of reproductive rights and cross-industry solidarity.
We need a large, mass movement of the working class to rise up for the right to free, safe abortion on the demand. These groups of organized workers are just the beginning.

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.

The rise of labor in the US has put the working class at the center of national politics. It deserves class-independent politics free of the capitalist constraints of the Democratic Party.

The fight against Zionist oppression is at the center of international and domestic politics. The path forward is to fight for a free, socialist, workers’ Palestine, from the river to the sea, where Arabs and Jews can live in peace.
