BUFFALO, N.Y.: "SOLIDARITY KEY TO BATTLING CAPITALISM"
Workers World Managing Editor Leslie Feinberg spoke to a full house at Unity Church here on April 3 about how solidarity against all forms of oppression is critical in order to wage a successful struggle against capitalism.
The multinational and multi-generational audience at the Workers World Party-sponsored forum included gay and straight folks from Buffalo neighborhoods, including Lackawanna where the working-class Yemeni community has been targeted by the Bush administration's "war on terror."
Feinberg urged all those gathered--many of whom are active in anti-war, anti-globalization and anti-police abuse and racism struggles, and the lesbian/ gay/ bi/trans and student movements--to open up discussions on the successes and problems of revolutions that have attempted to end capitalism. This will help to both defend the existing workers' states and to strengthen the overall revolutionary movement to build a communist future.
The audience responded to the even ing's message with a prolonged standing ovation.
After a report on upcoming May 17 solidarity actions for same-sex marriage rights and against all forms of discrimination, bigotry and racism, more than a quarter of those in attendance signed up to work on a plan for a local action that day.
