Freedom & Justice Organizing School
What is required to build a powerful and united working class movement?
Undisguised class war is waged without restraint against working families and our children, enforced by anti-labor legislation and decrees, and by courts serving our exploiters. The time has come to mobilize working people for our own agenda. Let us end subservience to the power of the privileged few and their monopoly of the political process in America.
Working people must organize for our own agenda. Let us end subservience to the power of the privileged few and their monopoly of the political process in America. Let us learn from the history, experiences and victories of our class.
