Memphis Socialist Party: June 2011

NO to Privatization! Jobs and Justice NOW!

TOMORROW AT 9:00AM! Stand with the workers of AFSCME 1733 as they face the threat of privatization--this is about jobs, dignity, human rights and the local that Dr. King came to Memphis and died for in 1968. There will be a picket beginning at 9:00am at City Hall, 125 N. Main.

TOMORROW AT 3:00PM! Rally to stop our city council from privatizing sanitation, slashing jobs and hours, and repealing the living wage ordinance.

TOMORROW AT 3:30PM! Tell the city council what your priorities are, and that it is inexcusable to make workers and the poor pay for the crises of capitalism!

About

The Memphis Socialist Party, a local chapter of the Socialist Party-USA, was established in October 2008. The SP-USA is a multi-tendency revolutionary socialist organization committed to radical democracy, which rejects the current system where all workers are exploited in the name of profit; production is ever-increasing along with manufactured consumer demand despite finite resources; distribution of goods and services is irrationally unequal; and where our system of economic oppression reinforces racism, sexism, heterosexism, and all forms of bigotry, creating false divisions among the people.

Memphis suffers deeply from the effects of capitalism; the struggle against inequality has left scars in the fabric of our city. Please join the Memphis SP so we can work together to create a network and build a foundation for socialist analysis, education, agitation and action here in Memphis, Tennessee.

In solidarity with the leftist community in Memphis and Tennessee, we publish materials on this blog that may not strictly conform with the SP-USA platform and principles, but reflect the ideas of our comrades in the broader struggle against capitalism and imperialism.
