 In June 2008, the first legal marriages between same sex couples were performed in accordance with a California Supreme Court ruling a month earlier. These ceremonies were held in jubilant triumph and celebration, marking a forward advance in civil rights...
This victory, however, is quite fragile and under attack. In November 2008, Proposition 8, which aims to repeal same sex marriage, will be on the ballot in California. The success of Prop. 8 would be a set back for everyone who fights for equal rights for all. |

 On July 28, in a solid display of union solidarity across AFL-CIO and Change to Win lines, members of the ATU, ILWU, painters, carpenters, postal workers and more came out in support of the workers at Emanuel Legacy Hospital, organized by SEIU Local 49. Emanuel Legacy’s workers are currently bargaining without a contract. The Legacy administration has not missed an opportunity to display their contempt for SEIU Local 49 and their disdain for the workers it represents. |

 Are the Democrats making a radical turn to the left? This is the conclusion many have come to after learning about the TRADE Act (Trade Reform, Accountability, Development and Employment Act). A broad array of organizations – including trade unions, fair trade, and environmental groups – are uniting around the Democratic bill that aspires to “renegotiate NAFTA” and possibly revisit and revise many free-trade agreements the U.S. has signed with various countries.

 In every major industrial country and even in many less industrialized countries, the working class has built trade unions to fight the capitalists at the workplace through collective action and political parties to combat the capitalists in the political arena with one exception: up to the present, the working class in the United States has not yet built its own political party. |

 Millions have hoped against hope that Barack Obama represents real change. But these sincere hopes were dealt another blow with the selection of Senator Joseph Biden from Delaware as Obama’s vice presidential running mate. Biden has had a long career in politics, and is often portrayed as a “liberal.” However, a brief look at his policies only goes to show the sorry state that bourgeois liberalism finds itself in! |

 A majority of Americans now oppose the Iraq war and occupation, and growing numbers want the troops in Iraq brought home now. However, as the war drags into its sixth year, those in power in Washington present no perspective for an immediate or even timely end. Instead, they speak of “time horizons” for withdrawal while both corporate parties continue to debate “how best” to secure their grip on the Middle East in the interests of U.S. imperialism. |

 Elections can reveal a lot about a country, and the fast-approaching U.S. presidential election is proving to be no exception. Above all, the current election shows just how much working Americans need their own political representation. This fact is expressed and cynically taken advantage of by Barack Obama’s campaign slogan: “Change We Can Believe In.” Even the “old guard” represented by John McCain has had to raise the idea of change in his campaign rhetoric. |

 A new leaflet based on the recent declaration of the International Marxist Tendency. "The International Marxist Tendency considers that these comrades are in the front ranks, at the vanguard of those who fight for world socialism. They were fighting against the reactionary attacks of the extreme right against the Cuban Revolution, which stands as a beacon of hope for the workers and oppressed of the world. Therefore, the struggle to bring about their release them is the duty not only of the Cuban people, but of all those who believe in the socialist future of humanity." Click here to download. |

New from Wellred USA Reformism or Revolution: Marxism and Socialism of the 21st Century. A Reply to Heinz Dieterich. By Alan Woods. (463 pages) The declarations of Hugo Chavez in favor of socialism have sparked an important debate in Venezuela and internationally. However, some have concluded that the "old" ideas of Marxism are no longer valid and that it is necessary to invent a completely new and original theory of "Socialism of the 21st Century." This book is a reply to that view - expressed by Heinz Dieterich among others - and a defense of the fundamental ideas of Marxism and scientific socialism against these revisionist arguments. $20 Special Introductory Price (Cover price is $24.99) Order now! |
