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

From Socialist Alternative-Defeat Trumpcare Action Near You! 💪
Defeat Trumpcare! Find an Action Near YOU! (see below)
Trumpcare isn’t dead, and we need to do everything we can to stop it. The Republicans in Congress are determined to try to get this reactionary legislation passed.
Trumpcare is a savage attack on working people and the poor. If passed, it will deny tens of millions access to healthcare and represent one of the greatest transfers of wealth from the working class to the 1% in U.S. history through massive tax cuts for the super-rich and corporations.
We need a full mobilization of the opposition to Trumpcare through rallies, protests, and occupations of Republican Senators’ offices. The Republicans are struggling to overcome internal divisions, but we need to keep the pressure up to ensure defeat of Trumpcare.
Please chip in $15, $27, or $100 to print thousands of picket signs and to make sure we have a legal fund for any arrests for occupations planned across the country.
Movement for the 99% and our partners in Socialist Alternative have initiated a week of action from July 8th to July 15th to #OccupyTrumpcare, culminating in a National Day of Action on Saturday, July 15th. Please join us at the protests, occupations and speak-outs that we’ll be initiating.
There is mass opposition across the country, we need all opponents of Trumpcare to unite behind a strategy of mobilizing the full breadth of that opposition. With a well-organized mobilization and an escalating series of mass actions we can help ensure the Republican bill fails. A victory on this issue could help give confidence to the fight for Healthcare for all. To achieve this goals, we have to rely on our own strength, not the corporate-controlled leadership of the Democratic Party.
The first step is defeating the Republican agenda and bringing down Trump is to defeat this reactionary legislation once and for all. We need all hands on deck to Defeat Trumpcare!
