*****PLEASE CIRCULATE WIDELY*****
You are invited to attend a
NATIONAL FIGHTBACK CONFERENCE
Sponsored by Workers World Party
November 13-14, New York City
This year we have seen huge mobilizations for immigrant rights,
women's rights, against war and occupation, and most recently the
splendid Million Worker March that addressed many of these issues as
well as workers' rights.
After the elections--no matter who wins--there needs to be a serious
discussion about how to move the struggle forward. And that is exactly
what hundreds of activists will be doing in New York City over the
weekend of November 13-14 at a National Fightback Conference sponsored
by Workers World Party.
You are invited to participate in this timely and urgently needed
discussion. The Fightback Conference is open to all who really want to
end war, bring the troops home, fight for workers' rights, and build a
movement against capitalism and racism.
The conference will be held at a public school located in Manhattan at
281 9th Ave. & West 27 St. The conference schedule is Sat., Nov. 13,
10 am-7 pm, Sun., Nov. 14, 10 am-3:30 pm. Registration starts at 9 am
on both days.
Many people coming from around the country are new to the socialist
movement, while others are activists representing a wide variety of
struggles. The speakers and workshop facilitators will represent
struggles involving labor, immigrants, youth, disabled people,
prisoners, communities of color, women, lesbian/gay/bi/trans, and
national liberation movements, as well as struggles for socialism and
against imperialism, repression and war.
Conference participants will discuss the meaning of the election
results and map out strategies for the struggles ahead against
capitalism's war on workers and oppressed people here and around the
world. A brochure that lists many of the topics that will be taken up
at the conference can be downloaded at
