Socialist Workers Party candidates in the 2021 elections are discussing the party’s action program with working people coast to coast. As they do so they are visiting many of the 3,000 plus people who have subscribed to the
Militant over the last year to discuss what they think of the paper, urge them to renew their subscriptions and encourage them to campaign to get the party’s candidates on the ballot.
Many subscribers will want to get books by leaders of the Socialist Workers Party and other revolutionaries offered at reduced prices. They provide a deeper understanding of what workers face and the road toward organizing to replace the rule of the capitalist class with a government of workers and farmers.
Statement by Willie Cotton, Socialist Workers Party candidate for New York City public advocate, released Jan 27.
Socialist Workers Party candidates here in New York and across the country offer the only campaigns that are part of and champion struggles by workers for jobs, better wages, for increasing workers control of production and safety, and by farmers defending their livelihoods. Joining strike picket lines, protests against cop brutality, actions to defend a woman’s right to choose abortion, and other battles by working people, SWP candidates set an example of what workers can do together to defend ourselves and present a program that offers a way forward.
