New Orleans Eyewitness Report Back: LGBTQ Rights in Cuba

Thursday, June 22 - 6:00 p.m.

Parish Hall, 2533 Columbus St., New Orleans, LA

In May, a solidarity delegation organized by Women in Struggle traveled to Havana to bear witness to the achievements of the LGBTQ community there.

We saw the fruits of the new Families Code, a groundbreaking law advancing equality for all families, women, LGBTQ people, disabled people, and elders. Come learn about the country with us!

1 April 2024

During a recent central committee meeting, held via zoom, leaders of Freedom Road Socialist Organization (FRSO) discussed how to build off of the great success of their letter-writing campaign thanking pro-Israel Chicago mayor, Brandon Johnson, for his belated support for a nonbinding city council ceasefire resolution passed after more than 25,000 Palestinians had been killed by Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza. While very proud of themselves for the letter-writing campaign, along with their advocacy for a toothless civilian police review board and other paltry reforms in Chicago, FRSO leadership was not content to run cover for the bourgeoisie at the local level, and wanted to do so on the national political stage. They saw an opportunity in the widespread frustration with the Democratic Party’s choice of Joe Biden as its 2024 candidate and fear that the far more energetic and popular Republican candidate, Donald Trump, would trounce Biden at the polls in November. In accordance with the mass line—or at least FRSO’s interpretation of it—FRSO leadership decided that the best course of action would be to unite with the broad criticism of Biden as being too old to run for a second term and propose a different candidate, one a year older than Biden and even more decrepit than him, but who would do a much better job steering rebellious Black proletarians and protesters for Palestine back into the fold of bourgeois-democracy: Jesse Jackson.

Putting Jesse Jackson on the ballot was a logical choice for FRSO, as they and their predecessor, the Revolutionary [sic] Workers Headquarters, had been ardent supporters of his 1984 and 1988 presidential runs, with the Jackson campaigns serving as a sort of 1980s after-party to their celebration of the 1976 counterrevolutionary coup that ended socialism in China. With Jackson, FRSO saw in the 1980s and sees today the ideal presidential candidate around whom to build a strategic alliance—of union bureaucrats, nonprofit organization activists, and local Democratic Party politicians—aimed at diverting protest and rebellion into electoral politics. FRSO considers replacing Biden on the ballot with Jackson an urgent task, given that so many people in the US right now have lost faith in bourgeois politics when police brutality remains rampant despite all the calls for and enactment of reforms and with even the most supposedly progressive Democrats in office failing to do anything to stop Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza. In a quite good statement issued by its central committee, FRSO proclaimed that “given the present, growing crisis of legitimacy for the bourgeoisie, Jesse Jackson is the right stuff for US imperialism.”

part of the reason american labor sucks so much is that most people are incapable of identifying and separating the revolutionary proletariat from the labor aristocracy.

this failure of analysis and investigation results in both the economism of the DSA and various ML orgs failing to actually lead workers and instill communist politics among them (bc they default to platforming yellow union leadership instead of acting as a political vanguard) on one hand, and the patent stupidity of third worldists abdicating the responsibility of trying to organize towards revolution in the imperial core at all (because they believe it impossible on the grounds that there is no revolutionary proletariat) on the other.

its patently obvious in the way people will take statements from union leadership as indicative of the voices and desires of the rank and file, whether its professing support for contracts that actually fuck over huge swathes of workers (as with the recent teamsters contract throwing part timers under the bus) or condemning reactionary positions as indicative of the positions if the rank and file (ie. people criticizing SEIU/workers united for both-sidesing palestinian resistance and israeli genocide but ignoring that statements from rank and file and small locals are overwhelmingly supportive of palestine).

it is fully impossible to build red unions and properly organize people towards a politically motivated general strike without acknowledging and understanding the composition of the unions and the contradictions between racist, anticommunist, antiworker union bureaucrats and the overwhelmingly dispossessed and disaffected rank and file workers who in many places are independently seeking out communist political education themselves that any large org fancying itself a “vanguard” would be providing already were they not incompetent and ineffectual.

#fuck you cpusa fuck you psl fuck you dsa fuck you revcoms fuck you frso #and fuck you every stupid trotskyist org that hems and haws and weites about what workers should be doing from the sidelines #if youre not gonna take the most basic lessons from lenin on labor organizing at least fuck off snd stop wasting everyones time n resources

joining the FRSO may be the best thing I've done for myself since going back to school. I'm making so many new friends and they're neurodivergent too! and we all care about the same things! and my heart is just full. The world is terrible but we can fight back.

the general boycott requests from bisan have inspired me to organize but i'm a new afrikan trying to find a black led us group to join. i'm wary of joining the current ml groups frso/psl or the democrat-lite groups like dsa/cpusa because i've experienced racism in them in the past. do you or your followers know of a good org i can support? thanks

I'm unsure... I only know of Cooperation Jackson in Mississippi and the African Peoples Socialist Party which is more national but very much focused in Florida if I'm correct. If any of my followers know anything else let anon know please.

Do you have any insight or opinions on the Freedom Road Socialist Organization? Are they a good organization or are there any weird internal politics like the ones in the PSL you've talked about before?

I have zero knowledge about FRSO or its internal organization

"Despite a surface-level change in rhetoric, President Biden continues and has even expanded many of the most inhumane Trump-era border policies. FRSO San José sees it as imperative to continue to advocate for changes at the border and in our community, even if we have a Democratic administration in the White House.

Money raised will go directly to organizing the delegation and travel expenses. Any money we raise beyond our expenses will be donated to organizations we meet with who are doing brave and crucial work fighting border militarization and supporting migrants."

I personally know someone raising money for this, so if it's your thing, this fundraiser is safe.

January 06, 2024. 4pm Cascades Park Tallahassee, FL

[Photo ID: Full color Palestine flag over a color photo of pro-Palestine protestors. Text reads 'A new year without Israeli genocide in Gaza. Free Palestine rally and protest. Saturday, January 6th @ 4pm. Cascades Park. Meet @ Prime Meridian Plaza. Stand with Palestine! End US Aid to Israel! TCAC. TALLYCAC. Text 'TCAC' to 850-367-6292 for text alerts! Co-sponsored by FSU SDS, FRSO Tallahassee, Florida Palestine Network, Food Not Bombs.' /End ID]

As the world enters the New Year, Palestinians in #Gaza are being bombed to death and buried under rubble from the ongoing Israeli aggression. In 2024, we dream of a world with a fully liberated Palestine. The US gives $4 billion a year in addition to military and political support to Apartheid Israel. When politicians continue to support Israel as it bombs homes, schools, hospitals, and places of worship, they show disregard for the people who overwhelmingly oppose the genocide. Join TCAC, FSU SDS, Florida Palestine Network, FRSO, and Food Not Bombs in joining @uspcn ‘s call for a week of action. We demand NO genocide in the new year! WHEN: Saturday, Jan 6th @ 4pm WHERE: Cascades Park (meet @ Prime Meridian Plaza, behind the ampitheater) Stand with Palestine! End U.S. aid to israel! Source

If you are interested in the movement for Black liberation and police abolition in the US, I highly recommend watching this video and researching the National Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression.
