From Resistance to Revolution: Stoking the Underground Fire

6:00 PM
Migrant Justice Office
179 S. Winooski Ave

“We are in an existential fight. Trump’s authoritarian rule threatens all workers and oppressed groups in the US and throughout the world. Thankfully, a new resistance has emerged with mass protests and direct actions against the regime and the oligarchs that back it. To win, we must build this resistance, particularly among workers who have the unique power to shut the system down with strikes, and a revolutionary struggle against global capitalism that spawned far right authoritarianism. Our goal–international socialism, the democratic rule of workers and the oppressed. Join us this Monday for a presentation by Tristin Adie followed by a discussion on strategies of resistance to authoritarianism.”
