On this Juneteenth we acknowledge the sacrifices, contributions, and victories of all the colonized nations in America that made it possible for us to even speak of socialism today.

Happy Juneteenth! ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽

It is with great sadness, but also great admiration, that we share that our comrade and founding member of this chapter, Brad Lorton, passed away yesterday afternoon. We will share information about services and arrangements as soon as we have them.

Brad valiantly battled heart failure for some time. Ever the leader and elder statesman, Brad even ran for chapter co-chair recently, and reminded us of the importance of staying focused and staying in solidarity with one another.

There is not enough we can say to properly honor Brad in this moment, so instead we are sharing the words of his hero as we remember Brad’s persistent dedication to the socialist movement and ready ourselves to carry on his legacy:

“Wherever death may surprise us, let it be welcome, provided that this, our battle cry, may have reached some receptive ear and another hand may be extended to wield our weapons and other men be ready to intone the funeral dirge with the staccato singing of the machine-guns and new battle cries of war and victory.”

-Che Guevara, Message to the Tricontinental (Vietnam and the World Struggle for Freedom)
