Anger at Bush's war in Iraq and his right-wing, corporate agenda are at an all-time high, and the anti-war movement is growing fast. Around the world, workers and oppressed people have launched a new wave of mass struggle for a better life. But what will it take for the anti-war movement to stop U.S. imperialism? Is there an alternative to the corporate domination of our world? is a democratic socialist society realistic? Come to a discussion on these questions and consider joining the struggle for a new, socialist world.

Speaker: Ty Moore. Organizer of 4,000-strong Twin Cities' student walkout against the start of the Iraq War. A national organizer for Socialist Alternative. Students for Nader Twin Cities Coordinator. Justice newspaper editorial board member.

Fighting for Women's Rights!

Socialist Alternative is a national organization fighting in our workplaces, communities, and campuses against the exploitation and injustices people face every day. We are union activists fighting for workers' rights and militant, democratic labor unions; we are people of color speaking out against racism, students organizing against sweatshops and war, immigrants demanding papers for all undocumented workers, women and men fighting sexism and homophobia.

We campaign for the building of a mass workers' party to represent the interests of workers, youth and the environment against the two parties of big business.

We see the global capitalist system as the root cause of terrorism, war, poverty, discrimination, and environmental destruction. As capitalism moves deeper into crisis and recession, a new generation of workers and youth must join together to take the top 500 corporations into public ownership. We believe the dictatorships that existed in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe were perversions of what socialism is really about. We are for democratic socialism where people will have control over their daily lives.

Socialist Alternative is in political solidarity with the Committee for a Workers' International, a worldwide socialist organization in 35 countries on every continent.
 Join us!
