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

We're occupying US Senator Ted Cruz's office now! Please share!
Donald Trump and the Republicans' "health care" bill is a vicious attack on women, the elderly, the poor, the sick, the disabled, and children. If passed, it will rip Medicaid health insurance away from 22 million Americans to provide a massive tax cut for corporations and the wealthiest 400 households. It would represent one of the largest transfers of wealth from the working class to the 1% in decades.
There is mass opposition across the country and we need all opponents of Trumpcare to unite behind a strategy of mobilizing the full breadth of that opposition, similar to the mass protests against Trump’s inauguration when millions marched in the streets. The Republicans are struggling to overcome internal divisions, but we need to keep the pressure up to ensure defeat of Trumpcare. With a well-organized mobilization and an escalating series of mass actions we can help ensure Trumpcare fails. A victory on this issue will give confidence to the fight for Medicare for all to ensure guaranteed, quality healthcare for everyone at the state level and nationally.
The first step in winning our demands, defeating the Republican agenda and bringing down Trump, is to defeat this savage legislation once and for all.
We need all hands on deck! Please share this video on social media!
This is part of a week of action against Trumpcare sponsored by Socialist Alternative and Movement for the 99%. Please click here to donate to support our efforts. We do not accept corporate cash and rely on grassroots supporters instead.
