This space is dedicated to the proposition that we need to know the history of the struggles on the left and of earlier progressive movements here and world-wide. If we can learn from the mistakes made in the past (as well as what went right) we can move forward in the future to create a more just and equitable society. We will be reviewing books, CDs, and movies we believe everyone needs to read, hear and look at as well as making commentary from time to time. Greg Green, site manager

The Cold Civil War In America Has Started-Join The Resistance-From Socialist Alternative
Tomorrow we inaugurate the resistance to Trump’s billionaire’s agenda with Movement for the 99% and Socialist Students organizing mass student walkouts and citywide demonstrations in over 16 cities.
Right now activists, students, and volunteers are busily preparing the final stages of the walkout - and we need your help too!
We need to ask that everyone dig deep and make a contribution of $15, $25, or $100 today. We still need to raise $1000 to print thousands of pickets signs. If you contributed recently - thank you! If you haven’t contributed - there’s still time! Can we count on you?
There’s more!
In addition to organizing in 16 cities - we’re organizing the global resistance to Trump in over 20 countries! From Spain to Malaysia to Brazil we are building a worldwide wall of resistance to the right wing attacks being prepared by Trump and the Republican Party.
**In Spain the main Madrid embassy protest is now formally supported by Podemos and Izquierda Unida, as well as different branches of the largest union federation in Spain and the Coca Cola workers!!**
The election of Donald Trump to the office of President of the United States represents an unprecedented danger to workers, young people, and the oppressed, not only the U.S. but around the world. A ruthless billionaire businessman himself, Trump promises to carry out racist and sexist social policies aimed at women, people of color, immigrants, and Muslims. Trump is preparing to escalate attacks on the environment, unions, and workers’ rights, as well as vital social services like public education.
His erratic and nationalist “America First” foreign policy will further destabilize global politics, and it risks provoking more bloody catastrophes and encourages far-right forces around the world. International solidarity and coordinated global action by workers and youth will be a vital ingredient to combat Trump’s divisive racism and nationalism. We must demonstrate mass global resistance from day one, starting on Trump’s Inauguration Day.
Check out a full list here at the website of our international partners.
And here's the list of of local actions. See you in the streets!
