The white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, and now the white supremacists coming to Boston this Saturday, have thousands of people asking: "How do we defeat the far right?" How do we put an end to racism, sexism, nationalism, and other forms of bigotry?
While the right is certainly rising in the United States, their forces are vastly outnumbered. Thousands of people have organized counter-protests all throughout the country, and the world, in the last few days condemning the neo-Nazi’s malicious and hateful ideas. We must build on this momentum to drive out the far right for good.
At the "Fight Supremacy" march this Saturday, August 19th, Socialist Alternative and the International Socialist Organization will be marching as a Socialist contingent and are inviting you to march with us! We'll be meeting at 10 AM at the Reggie Lewis Track and Athletic Center (1350 Tremont Street). As a contingent, we can demonstrate our power and point toward socialist ideas in the fight against the far right.
On Tuesday, August 22nd at 6:30 PM we’ll be hosting a community discussion around "Socialism and the Struggle against Racism and the Far Right” at Encuentro 5 (9A Hamilton Pl. - near Park Street). We hope that you can join us at either or both events to further discuss what it will take to defeat the right and fight for a better world!
