ONLY THE PEOPLE'S MOVEMENT CAN STOP BUSH & THE WAR! Join activists from around the country at a NATIONAL FIGHTBACK CONFERENCE Nov. 13-14 â New York
Register on line for the conference Conference flyer Conference Program Conference workshops FIST National Youth Organizing Meeting http://www.workers.org/conf/ Dear friend, With the re-election of Bush and the U.S. military assault on Falluja, progressive people need to put their heads together and figure out how to move the struggle forward. There's a way to do that: at the National Fightback Conference in New York on Nov. 13-14, sponsored by Workers World Party. The conference will be held at a public school in Manhattan at 281 9th Ave. & West 27 St. The conference is scheduled for Sat., Nov. 13, 10 am-7 pm and for Sun., Nov. 14, 11 am - 3:30 pm. Registration starts at 9 am on Saturday and 10 am on Sunday. A lot of concerned people invested time and effort in the Kerry campaign, including many who weren't that inspired by the Massachusetts millionaire but desperately wanted to stop Bush. They're feeling very let down right now. Others saw this election as just another effort to divert the independent struggle movements that have been taking on war, racism and poverty. No matter who you are, come to the conference and participate in a serious discussion of where to go from here. Millions of people in the U.S. are facing the same issues, from the war against workers' pensions and health care, a war on youth, a war on Section 8 tenants, a war on gay and lesbian couples, a war to suppress civil rights and liberties, and a stunningly vicious war on ordinary people who happen to live in Iraq, where the oil is. So let's talk about strategies. There is stirring in the working class now, organized and unorganized. This is the class that has the social weight to seriously challenge the rotting capitalist system. What's needed is a clear program and the will to carry it out. National Youth Organizing Meeting. A special feature of the conference will be the first national youth organizing meeting of FIST--Fight Imperialism, Stand Together. It will take up: fighting military recruiting and the draft, youth in the struggle against racism and repression, and much more.

F.I.S.T. is an organization for young activists who are fighting to defeat capitalism and the war, racism, and misery that it causes. F.I.S.T. activists are engaged in struggles throughout the country to stop the war in Iraq, kick military recruiters off campuses, fight racist attacks on students, and stand up for lesbian, gay, bi, and transgender youth. We united with youth from all around the country to stand up to the cops during the Republican National Convention and to demand our right to take to the streets. We united with workers for the Million Worker March to say that youth have a right to jobs, education, and healthcare, too. Many youth are fearful right now of what four more years of the right-wing Bush administration will bring. At the very least, we know that more youth will be forced to kill and die in an unjust war and more youth at home will get jail instead of jobs and education. But F.I.S.T. activists also see this as an opportunity to unite all of the young forces that have been fighting against the Bush regime in an effort to move the struggle forward. We call on all progressive youth to join our meeting to discuss what we can do to build a strong youth movement to defeat this brutal system once and for all. Among the topics we will discuss are: - How youth can fight military recruiters and the draft. - Fighting back against racism, sexism, and lgbt oppression. - Building revolutionary consciousness amongst youth. We will also be discussing some of our upcoming actions,including: - Dec. 3-11 National Stop the War Week - including student walkouts on Dec. 3rd and a youth Resistance to the Draft Conference on Dec. 4th. - Jan 20th Counter-Inaugural Demonstration, Washington, D.C. - Join the F.I.S.T. contingent to confront Bush! The meeting will coincide with the National Fightback Conference sponsored by Workers World Party which is taking place Sat., Nov. 13th through Sun., Nov. 14th. The F.I.S.T. meeting and the Fightback Conference will take place at the Chelsea Auditorium, 281 9th Ave. and W. 27th St. For more information about the conference, including housing, go to www.workers.org or call 212-627-2994.
