These local bases of politically-activated organized workers along with their DSA chapters can launch runs for Congress in 2028 to build the power we need at the federal level to end U.S. support for Israel’s apartheid and genocide and to fight climate change.

The day before that victory, the shipping logistics company Maersk announced that it was cutting ties to illegal Israeli settlements. We can organize to express the power of the pro-peace and pro-Palestine majority.

On the 51st anniversary of the Carnation Revolution, we remember a revolution that ended Portuguese imperialism and defeated authoritarianism at home. The US continues facilitating genocide in Gaza, eroding our civil liberties as union members are abducted for political speech.
