LA: students & teachers unite to fight racist evictions
Friday, December 18, 2020 at 5:54PM LOS ANGELES, December 16—Housing is a necessity, but under capitalism, workers’ needs are never guaranteed. As communists, we must organize to demand the needs of our class to be met! Through that process, workers will see the limitations of these struggles and have the potential to understand the change they want can only come through communism.
This time our fight is for the home of a working class family. Los Angeles has one of the greatest unhoused populations in the entire world! These numbers are only going to explode with the looming ban on evictions set to expire at the end of January. Gentrification is making it impossible for families to stay in neighborhoods where they have lived for decades. We have positioned ourselves for this fight through work at a local high school and commitment to working in a tenant’s rights mass organization.
The overlap of the work in these two crucial places demonstrates our potential for growth. Now we must actualize it! The mass organization is planning, with the evicted family, a multi-pronged approach to fighting back. The high school(where two of the siblings who were evicted attend) along with friends has worked with staff and students to spread this campaign. We are in the very early stages, but stay tuned in the upcoming issues of CHALLENGE to hear about an eviction blockade, organized protests at the sleazy investment company, spreading the word throughout the community where the eviction occurred, and relying on the working class to collect the things this family needs.
While many different groups are involved in fighting for workers’ needs and rights, Progressive Labor Party is the only organization that offers a long-term solution. Our members will fight tooth and nail to reclaim the home stolen from this working class family, but that will not stop the next family from being evicted. Capitalism is a system that will always put profits over people. It does not deserve to exist! Let’s tear it down together! Our fight against evictions today are the necessary seeds planted for future revolution. Join us
