Socialist Alternative at UW Open Meeting
September 30 @ 6:15 pm–8:15 pm
Socialist Alternative led the movements behind the $15/hour minimum wage and tax on Amazon in Seattle, but there’s still a lot of work to be done.
The Minnesota strike in January was the strongest pushback on Trump so far, forcing him to reduce the presence of ICE. Months later, deportations have ramped up and federal prosecutors have charged 15 Minnesota activists for their participation in the struggle against ICE’s violent occupation of the Twin Cities. The fight to defend the Minnesota 15, half of whom are union members, is a crucial step in the fight against ICE. We call for a mass public defense campaign to be launched by labor unions, rapid response networks, immigrant rights groups, student groups, and socialist organizations.
Come to our open meeting to discuss the strategies it will take to win affordable housing, an end to the genocide in Gaza, and rights for trans people, immigrants, and all workers.
We say:
- No deportations! Build school, community, and union deportation defense committees!
- No money for war and genocide! Fund schools and social services!
- Fight climate change! Take the fossil fuel industry into democratic public ownership for a total transition to renewable energy!
- End attacks on trans youth! Free healthcare for all including gender-affirming care and abortion access!
- The Democrats are a dead end! Build a new, anti-war mass party of students and working people to fight Trump and the far right!
- We need a new system: join the fight for socialism!
Come learn how to use fighting strategies to win real victories.
