Women's Day - Plan ahead and Organize
As a socialist feminist organization, the
Socialist Party USA regards International Women's Day as a holiday of
great importance to the building of the worldwide democratic socialist
movement. Throughout the world, the discrimination and exploitation
encountered by women -- especially women of color, women with disabilities,
elderly women, unemployed and low-income women -- have their roots in
capitalism, US imperialism, and patriarchy. The personal, political,
social, and economic consequences of these global scourges effect women
in dire ways on a daily basis. Only grassroots organizing and solidarity
actions at the national and international levels will solve the problems
that women, and men, face today(SP-USA Women's Commission Statement).

Honor the memory
of
Rosie Jimenez...
Start Organizing andTake
action on October 3, to repeal the Hyde Amendment!
On October 3, 1977 -- shortly
after the Hyde Amendment went into effect, banning the use
of Federal Medicaid funds for abortions-- Rosie Jimenez died
from a botched back-alley abortion because she couldn't afford
a safe, legal one. The injustice of the Hyde Amendment continues
to this day.
HELP BUILD A MOVEMENT TO
REPEAL THE HYDE AMENDMENT. ONLY OUR GRASSROOTS EFFORTS WILL
PUT THIS CRITICAL ISSUE ON THE NATIONAL AGENDA.
For more information, please
contact the Socialist Party Women's Commission

SP
Women's Commission: FEMINIST PROCESS GUIDE
Robert's Rule of
Order Tip Sheet
|
"I
am convinced that if we are to get on the right side of the
world revolution, we as a nation must under go a radical revolution
of values. We must rapidly begin the shift from a "thing-oriented"
society to a "person-oriented" society. When machines
and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered
more important than people, the giant triplets of racism,
materialism and militarism are incapable of being conquered."
--Martin Luther King , Jr.
Imagine coming together with others to create
a society in which we could live Martin Luther King’s dream.
Where a radical Democracy afforded us true liberty and freedom.
Where inequality, exploitation, and alienation were obscure.
Where people could work to obtain their full potential and work
for the common good of all human kind. Where people find value
in each other and not material wealth. Where people are
supported by social programs and are given equal opportunity.
Imagine a country without classes. Without a power structure
that holds most of the wealth. Without Capitalism: no
greed, no racism, no sexism, no heterosexism, no classism, no
poverty, no war. Imagine life as it should be. Join
us to fight for what we all truly deserve: DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM
.
