Solidarity with Tom Barker and UNISON members at Ash Field Academy! Tom Barker, a UNISON steward and socialist activist in England, has been suspended for months on vague and unsubstantiated allegations after helping lead a struggle for better pay, staffing, and working conditions at his school. This is a clear attempt at union-busting and intimidation. Attacking an elected union representative is an attack on every worker’s right to organize and fight back. But Ash Field workers are refusing to back down. UNISON members have voted overwhelmingly for strike action demanding Tom’s reinstatement and defending their union rights. We stand in solidarity with Tom Barker and the workers at Ash Field Academy. An injury to one is an injury to all! Reinstate Tom Barker. Stop union-busting now.

Pride didn’t begin as a corporate celebration. It began as a rebellion.
The first Pride was led by working class q***r people, trans people, s*x workers, and people of color fighting back against police repression and discrimination at Stonewall.
That history matters today because attacks on LGBTQ people are escalating across the country.
Join us for a Pride Teach-In focused on the radical history of Pride and what it will take to fight back against the right wing offensive.
June 20 at 1 PM at the Palm Beach Quaker House in Lake Worth.

We stand in solidarity with Martin Soto and all the hunger strikers resisting brutal conditions inside New Jersey’s immigrant detention centers. Their courageous action shines a light on the inhumane treatment, overcrowding, neglect, and abuse faced by detained immigrant workers every day under a system built on fear, repression, and profit.
We call for an immediate end to retaliation against the hunger strikers, full access to medical care, and the meeting of their demands. We also demand an end to the detention and deportation machine. An injury to one is an injury to all!
Only under socialism can we put an end to the forces that drive people to flee their country, only to subject them to repression and xenophobia in their new homes. While imperialism “develops” the neo-colonial world as a source of exploitation, a socialist world can develop the whole world on the basis of human need. This requires class struggle and internationalism.
We want to create a world where people aren’t forced to flee their home countries. And we want to create a world where people who choose to move are welcome wherever they choose to go. Join us in the fight for a socialist world!

These protests should broaden into an international anti-war movement demanding that the billionaire class pay for the cost-of-living crisis, democratic public ownership of key industries like oil and renewables, and complete opposition to all war and imperialism. It’s only by raising our sights to the system of capitalism that all war, exploitation, and oppression can be ended once and for all.

The devastation caused by US imperialism’s war on Iran has been widely documented. The independent Iranian Human Rights Activists News Agency estimates that as many as 3,636 have been killed there, and in Lebanon, the death toll from the Israeli regime’s ongoing assault has also exceeded 3,000.
Besides the immediate loss of life, the war is having an enormous impact on the living standards of millions of poor and working-class people across the world.
Another consequence of Trump’s war, one which has gotten far less media attention, has been its devastating environmental impact, at a time of already-deepening climate crisis. This is a war not only against the Iranian and Lebanese people, but also against the planet. While workers face instability and the planet burns, major fossil fuel companies have actually benefited from the crisis - raking in record profits.

Only when the working class overcomes its current debilitating state of disorganization and atomization, and succeeds in building a strong class struggle organization will there be a way out of the crisis. This requires the working class to seize political and economic power and on the basis of a democratic planned economy, to ensure that production truly serves the needs of the people’s lives and protects the environment, workers’ health, and their right to rest

2026 marks the opening year of China’s 15th Five-Year Plan (2026–2030). During the "Two Sessions" (parallel NPC and CCPPC rubber-stamp meetings) in March, the 15th Five-Year Plan was formally "passed." The CCP (so-called "communist") dictatorship proposed boosting domestic demand, a promise it h...

Young people need to fight back. Unemployment has long spurred on youth rebellions, from the Arab Spring in the early 2010s to the more recent youth revolts in Nepal, Bangladesh, and across the African continent. This system is unable to provide us with any meaningful future, so young people everywhere need to fight against capitalism and for a socialist society.

After graduating college today, many young people are left asking “why can’t I find a job?” After being sold the “American dream” of going to college to get a better life, we’re instead going into tens of thousands in student loan debt for a job that is unlikely to pay it off. That is, i...

Even if the Strait of Hormuz is fully opened soon—no guarantees!-many economists say these higher prices driven by the rising price of oil will likely last months or even years.
But crazy high prices for food, gas, and rent would hurt a lot less if we were taking home higher wages at the same time. If the economic system we lived under made any sense for workers, that’s what would happen.
And yet, our average wages actually *declined* last month, which is just part of a long history of workers getting the short end of the stick. The incomes of the top 1% have increased by almost 200% since 1979, while our wages have only increased 33%.
