Against the Davos of the Rich: For a Davos of the Peoples!

Solidarity — 2019-01-21T08:17:36Z

The World Economic Forum at Davos of capitalists, managers of capital, and rulers of the richest countries of the global north takes place at a time of accelerated attacks against mass standards of living, our unions, women's rights, LGBT rights, and especially attacks against immigrants.

Millions Are “Feeling the Bern,” but What's Next?

Solidarity — 2015-10-10T16:32:28Z

Why are so many people attracted to Bernie Sanders' campaign? The self-described socialist has won the support of millions. More than 100,000 people were excited enough to attend 3,500 meetings throughout 50 states on July 29. In August and September Sanders drew huge crowds in Minneapolis, Denver, Madison, Phoenix, Council Bluffs, Phoenix, Seattle (12,000), Portland, Maine, Portland, Oregon (20,000), Los Angeles (27,000) and Boston (somewhere between 25-30,000). By the end of September he'd received donations from 650,000 peopleâ€”including $25.5 million mostly in small donations in just three months. On the labor front, he held a conference call of 26,000 union members in September, with 1,350 of them volunteering to work on his campaign.

We present here a sampling of observations from some members of Solidarity who were present at the event.
