Marxist Unity Group deliberated & voted on the following statement to demonstrate our commitment to abolition as a central tenet of DSA's program. The working class cannot rule while a large part of it remains policed & caged. While there is a soul in prison, we are not free.

"Social conservatives don’t have to queerbash a queer who stays in the closet of their own volition. Bosses don’t have to fire workers who never even try to stand up for themselves in the first place... The cure for this shame is Pride." Happy pride month! We're happy to republish Red pride!

The reason why it was appropriate for the Workers Party to be born on Christmas day, 1921, is that on that day, once in every seven years, the workers get two days of liberty in succession. They get that much opportunity to think - Max Eastman Happy holidays, comrades!
