Socialist Alternative NC Triangle

Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill branch of @SocialistAlt, fighting in our workplaces & communities against oppression and capitalism for a socialist future.

We joined hundreds of community members on Tuesday to demand that Raleigh city council pass a ceasefire resolution. Both Democrats and Republicans will continue to use our tax dollars to fund this atrocity - we must build a political alternative! #ceasefirenow #freepalestine

As Socialist Alternative we continue to organize around direct democracy and organized action of the working class to combat capitalism, imperialism, and racism. (3/3)

As we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day there is a key fact of his life and activism that no major celebration or speech will commemorate: that King was a staunch anti-capitalist. Dr King's main concern was for the material needs of poor people to be addressed, (1/3)

for everyone to have equal opportunities, and for workers to have a democratic say in the work place. In light of his views and intent we share some quotes from speeches he gave and letters he wrote. (2/3)

Today, members of NC Triangle Socialist Alternative attended the statewide Call for Ceasefire for North Carolina. Socialist Alternative stands in solidarity with the working class all over the world demanding a ceasefire in Palestine.

[Socialist Alternative NC Triangle @nctriangle_salt]

We demand a Palestine that is free from capitalism and imperialism. We also demand for an end to military aid to Israel, and for trade unions to mobilize mass protests of workers, young people, anti-war, and anti-racist campaigns across the US.

Workers have been fighting for demands like more PTO, $30/hour and translation services for safety and communication with management.

. . . What they fail to admit is that the two parties have colluded to reset the terms of budget debate to exclude things we urgently need, like a #GreenNewDeal, taxing billionaires, making the rich pay their fair share into Social Security, and rebuilding public education. 7/12

[Jonathan Rosenblum @jonathan4212]

. . .Unlike the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, which has capitulated to the political establishment, the right-wing House Republicans understand how to wield power, and they are offering a textbook example. 5/12

[Jonathan Rosenblum @jonathan4212]

. . .Back in June, Biden+Dems cut a debt ceiling deal with Republicans in which they pledged to keep spending flat (IE real spending cuts, given inflation) except for military and veterans. 2/12

[Jonathan Rosenblum @jonathan4212]

Thread: Biden and Democratic Party leaders eagerly point to House Republicans for the budget fight that may shut down vital social services and furlough up to 2 million federal workers. Their blame is misdirected. 1/12

[Socialist Alternative NC Triangle @nctriangle_salt]

Yesterday SA members were tabling at the Durham Tech Campus to talk to students about building a new party to fight for things like rent control and a socialist green new deal. We will be back next week for fall fest!

What demands for the use of that money could unite working class people against cop city and fight Atlanta homelessness and gentrification?  Read more here: https://t.co/2laL861NQl

[Socialist Alternative NC Triangle @nctriangle_salt]

To force through "Cop City", Atlanta's Dem-controlled political establishment has stifled referendum initiatives and made an example of protesters through domestic terrorism charges.

[Socialist Alternative NC Triangle @nctriangle_salt]

The facility would train police in Atlanta and across the southeast in urban warfare tactics to put down protests with brutal efficiency, with a bill of $67M of public money and nearly as much from corporate contributions.
