The working-class youth of this country are offered a future of dead-end, low-paying jobs, and temp labor. Adequate medical or dental care, and being able to retire at age 62 or 65, are only things that existed “way back then.” Working-class youth live in a growing police state where national minority and immigrant […]

On May 1 workers the world over will be marching in the streets on their holiday—May Day, the first day of the 1886 U.S. general strike for the 8-hour work day. Shoulder to shoulder they’ll be protesting today’s exploitation and tyranny. They’ll be standing up for the unity of their class: hence in […]

The following leaflet, originally published on July 15, 2007, has been edited for political and grammatical clarity: The U.S. ruling class maintains and expands its domination of foreign labor, markets and strategic resources through the massive application of organized violence by the armed forces and intelligence agencies under their command. To the rich, such violence is […]

Five years of war in Iraq. One million people dead. Four million internal and external refugees. Four million people suffering from hunger. Ten million without safe water. U.S. war casualties approaching 4000. Dry statistics like these can’t begin to tell the horror that individuals, families, cities, and an entire country are going through. Meanwhile, after […]

Martin Luther King Jr. was a prominent leader in the struggles for civil rights waged in the 1950’s and 60’s. January 15 is his birthday and there has been a national holiday around this date every year since 1986. However, the movements against racial discrimination, police brutality, militarism and war have yet to […]

Four and a half years ago, millions around the world took to the streets in opposition to a U.S. attack on Iraq. To Bush, these millions were merely a “focus group” (Feb. 19, 2003) and the U.S. went to war anyway. Since then, the anti-war movement has gone through many twists and turns and many […]

More than four years after Bush declared “victory” in Iraq, he now talks of continuing the brutal U.S. aggression for years to come. This is a cowards’ war, in which U.S. snipers bait impoverished Iraqis by placing things like detonation cord on the ground, and then murder them from hiding when they reach to […]

Although not widely advertised (i.e., on Indymedia), at the impetus of ANSWER and UFPJ an October 27 Coalition was set up here in late August in order to organize a regional anti-war demonstration in Seattle on October 27. So far, through a process of struggle it has decided to call a march that will go […]

ANSWER, UFPJ, THNC and a number of others have formed an October 27 Coalition in order to build a regional anti-war demonstration in Seattle on O-27. Although not widely advertised, this coalition has now had two meetings, and it has agreed that decisions will be made on the basis of one person one vote with […]

Defend and build the movement for immigrant rights—
The ruling politicians are on a rampage against the 12-13 million undocumented immigrants peacefully living and working in this country. This is part of a class offensive of the rich to beat down all workers and other oppressed people. The August 18 Minutemen march in Seattle is a […]

With hundreds of thousands of Iraqi citizens and more than 3,500 U.S. troops already dead as the result of the U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq, Bush’s five-month old escalation of the war (funded by the Democratic Party-controlled Congress), is only resulting in more death and human tragedy. According to the Pentagon’s quarterly report, an average […]

On May Day 2007 we hail the struggles that workers around the world have waged during the past year, particularly the powerful struggle that developed in the Mexican state of Oaxaca. Fighting these battles is essential if workers are to once again be in a position to come out as a class fighting in […]

Hundreds of thousands of people will demonstrate in the streets March 17-19, and for good reason. This is the fourth anniversary of the imperialist invasion of Iraq. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and thousands of U.S. soldiers are now dead as a result. Millions of Iraqis are now refugees. But more will die; more will […]

February marks the 31st year that Native American activist Leonard Peltier has lived in a prison cell as a political prisoner. He was the target of an F.B.I. frame-up in response to the shooting of two agents during the governments’ occupation/war against progressive Native Americans on the Pine Ridge Reservation in the early 1970s. He […]

The U.S. military has been launching attacks in the Persian Gulf for 16 ½ years straight: In 1990 Bush I initiated the first Gulf War slaughter of Iraqis, partitioned the country into zones, and instituted sanctions. Following him, for eight years Clinton maintained a genocidal sanctions policy and punctuated it with bombings. […]

For about a month and a half, the Seattle Anti-Imperialist Committee (SAIC) and its supporters have been organizing for an anti-imperialist feeder march and contingent for the October 28 anti-war rally led by Act Now to Stop War and End Racism (ANSWER). SAIC posted approximately 2500 English-language posters and several hundred Spanish-language posters. We also […]

Today, at least 50,000 Iraqis have been killed directly by the U.S. government since 2003, and it could be a lot more—no one really knows. Babies and old folks, mostly from the poorer classes, our friends: victims of mass murder. The other side of the picture is that the masses of people resist […]
