Radical Women & Freedom Socialist Party joint meeting
Thursday 11 December, 2003, 7 pm
Socialists in the Seattle City Elections: Lessons for Australia
Linda Averill, Freedom Socialist candidate in the recent Seattle
elections, came in fourth in a field of six candidates, scoring more
than 10% of the vote! Averill, who is a bus driver and delegate to the
King County Labor Council for the Amalgamated Transit Union, is a former
organiser for Seattle Radical Women. Averill and her supporters ran a
serious socialist feminist campaign which provided a refreshing
alternative for voters pissed off with a field of candidates who
routinely do the bidding of big business. Hear a report on the lessons
from Averill's campaign, and discuss what we in Australia can learn from
their success as Socialist Alliance plans its first Federal election
challenge since winning registration.
The meeting will also discuss a report on the exciting upsurge in
Bolivia where peasants and workers said "no" to the exploitation of the
country's gas supplies and kicked out the President in the process!
Why not end 2003 with a good dose of revolutionary optimism? Everyone is
welcome.
Dinner at 6.30 pm for a $6.50 donation. Meeting starts at 7 pm.
Solidarity Salon: 580 Sydney Road, Brunswick.
