Just hours after President Joe Biden took the oath of office, activists took to the streets of Boston demanding a âmass movementâ on the political left to hold the new administration accountable.
âWe have to build our own power, an independent workerâs party that must rally all those interested in the fight against racism, against homophobia and against all forms of oppression,â Jai Chavis of the Worcester Independent Socialist Group told the crowd surrounding the Boston Common bandstand Wednesday. âThis will give us something to actually vote for, not just to vote against.â
