STATEMENT: END THE WAR ON OUR YOUTH!

In yet another attack on our city’s schools, youth, and black communities the Pittsburgh Public Schools Board of Directors voted last Wednesday to close 9 schools. This vote comes after years of pressure from the community to keep schools open.

This is far from the only attack on Pittsburgh’s youth, much of which results from a system which puts the interests of businesses and nonprofits over the interests of the working class.

Read through our statement and get involved to help make a difference!

🇵🇸 Support artists in Palestine! On Wednesday, June 3rd, Khalil’s Restaurant will be hosting an evening of solidarity, storytelling, and support for Palestinian artisans.

Pittsburgh is honored to welcome Morgan Cooper Totah, founder of Handmade Palestine, a fair-trade project based in Ramallah that works directly with Palestinian artisans to sustain traditional crafts, preserve rich heritage, and provide a means for artisans to support their families under occupation. Some may know Morgan through her social media work documenting daily life and resistance in Palestine, and she has changed her travel plans to be with us in Pittsburgh for this special fundraiser. Read more about Handmade Palestine and the talented artisans at handmadepalestine.eu!

Come shop beautiful handmade Palestinian crafts and hear directly from Morgan about the realities facing artisans in Palestine. Bring your friends, share widely, and come through for Palestine. Proceeds from food at this event will go towards planting trees in Palestine through Mashjar Juthour.

We will be reading and discussing Socialist Government: The Form and Function of a New Democracy.

What would it look like to build a socialist society in the United States? To end the US’s imperialist exploits, eliminate poverty, racism and bigotry, and utilize the wealth and development of modern society for the good of the people? Socialist Reconstruction: A Better Future for the United States envisions this future. It picks up in “the first decade of socialism in the United States,” and describes what socialism could mean for housing, healthcare, education, public safety and many othe aspects of US society.
