The ongoing assault against female and queer people in the U.S. is deeply connected to growing attacks on women, LGBT communities, and gender non-conforming people across the globe. The rise of this reactionary offensive is part of the world-wide crisis of the capitalist system, whose rulers are determined to increase exploitation, reduce the social wage, and boost the birth rate. And everywhere that far-right politicians seem to be leading the charge, those political parties that we associate with reform are subordinating our needs to narrow electoral aims.  A successful fightback requires a new strategy anchored by the larger goal of overthrowing the profit system and building a society based on human need.

Join us to discuss, with an online panel of international socialist leaders, lessons from history and current battles.
