The 371,000 people who pledged to Spirit 2.0 were not wrong about what aviation should be. They were handed too small a target. The task isn’t rescuing one airline. It is building the organized power capable of taking the whole system into public hands. reformandrevolution.org/2026/06/28/d...

R&R is sharing this on behalf of the Organizing Committee of the NYC-DSA Anti-War Working Group. We stand for chapter democracy and condemn the unilateral unseating and replacing of the AAWG OC by the NYC-DSA Steering. Full statement: bit.ly/awwgocstatement Sign the open letter: bit.ly/defendawwg
A Statement from the Organizing Committee

Defend Anti-War Organizing in NYC-DSA Against Wrecking on the Eve of Global WarWe are frustrated and disappointed with NYC-DSA Steering Committee's decision to seize control of the Anti-War Working Group's Organizing Committee (AWWG OC) elections from the working group itself and announce chapterwide elections instead. We are also deeply disappointed by the Steering Committee's cynical invocation of the US-Israel war on Iran as a justification for actively disorganizing the work that existing AWWG leaders and bodies are doing to end the war.

This is a coup attempt. Steering is attempting to replace existing leaders, who have sustained organizing in the working group over the past year, with candidates more politically sympathetic to them. But their factions have had virtually no involvement with AWWG and wouldn't be able to win in an election among working group members, so Steering has no choice but to disregard AWWG bylaws and democratic precedent so they can ignore the will of working group membership.On top of being profoundly disorganizing to the essential anti-imperialist work that
AWWG leaders and members are carrying out, this decision is disrespectful to the democratic institutions of the chapter and runs counter to how we should be conducting ourselves as comrades and wielding power as socialists. Steering is abusing their power and weaponizing procedure to disempower organizers with whom they disagree politically. If allowed to stand uncontested, this decision has grave implications not only for anti-war and anti-imperialist organizing within NYC-DSA, but for the very possibility of carrying out democratic, member-led work in DSA.

We urge NYC-DSA Steering Committee to reverse their decision and allow the Anti-War Working Group to carry out its own elections, in accordance with AWWG bylaws.Read the full statement:

On the anniversary of his execution, we remember John Brown. He knew abolition wasn’t charity, it was class war. He saw that the enslaved were the revolutionary force of his era, and he acted. Feared by his enemies. Loved by the oppressed. Honored by those who seek justice.
