MARCH ON MAY DAY—FIGHT FOR COMMUNISM

Progressive Labor Party will once again march for communism and celebrate May Day, the historic international workers’ holiday. The capitalist bosses say communism is dead. The masses of workers about to demonstrate around the world—taking leadership from PLP—say otherwise. The lessons of history are clear. Only communism can smash the racist and sexist inequalities of the rotten profit system. Only communism can foster an egalitarian world run by and for workers, or develop a society based on workers’ needs.
Never has our task been more urgent.

Communists Trump Racism

NEW YORK CITY, April 14 — “Democrat, Republican, all the same, racist terror is the name of the game!” “The only solution is communist revolution!” Our multiracial contingent of workers and students, young and not so young, PL’ers and friends, led by women, brought the message to the New York State Republican Gala that any of the candidates, Democrat or Republican, are a dead-end for the working class. While each candidate has some differences in their particular agendas, all will maintain imperialist war and all the ills of capitalism. PLP brought the only real solution for the working class— only communism can meet the needs of our class sisters and brothers around the world.

Hospital Workers Fight Sickening Conditions

BROOKLYN, April 18—Rank-and-file hospital workers are demanding their department boss stop the harassment and intimidation immediately! They’ve circulated a petition inside the hospital, demanding fired workers be reinstated. Although many signed, so far the hospital bosses have refused to act.

Douse the Bern

NEW YORK CITY, April 17—Twice in the last three days, Progressive Labor Party has rallied under the banner “elections can’t fix capitalism, fight for communism,” once in Manhattan where the Republican candidates like Ted Cruz and Donald Trump were speaking (see page 3) and again in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park opposing Bernie Sanders.
Today, a small but integrated group of female and male PL’ers followed up a May Day planning meeting by heading out to the Sanders rally and test our Party’s line that liberal bosses are the main danger to the working class. We demonstrated around our banner on the entry route into the staging area for Sanders’s speech. Many lingered around us and

Bosses Put Antiracist Educator on Trial

NEW YORK CITY, April 20—Dozens of former students, parents, colleagues and friends have been filling the hearing office every day at the “trial” of a New York City educator under attack on false charges, ones of which he’s already acquitted in criminal court!

Even parents from the school he was removed from almost two years ago have come to support him and report back to others.

The 36,000 Verizon workers currently on strike are fighting for the entire international working class.   With mass racist unemployment the rule in the U.S., the Progressive Labor Party salutes such courage to strike! The working class will need a lot more of it to turn the coming period of crisis at home and widening imperialist wars overseas into their opposites- and make a revolution for workers’ power. 

Racist, Sexist Verizon Bosses Aren’t Broke!

The racist and sexist Verizon bosses make around $1.5 billion per MONTH right off the backs of the workers
