Thank you Common Ground Fair! It’s always fun to talk with Mainers who have questions and believe in the work we do!
We learned that many people hold socialist positions and beliefs who don’t even know it, and the support our volunteers received was overwhelming. 🌹🚩

On Sept 2, 1945, the Vietnamese declared their independence. Hồ Chí Minh referenced the US Declaration.
“All men are created equal; they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights..”
The US then went on to wage a senseless war.
Let us acknowledge the right of self determination.

Happy Juneteenth! Why do we celebrate this important holiday, and why do some conservatives hate that we do?
On June 19, 1865, the Union Army finally took control of Texas, the last bastion of Confederate holdouts. They enforced the liberation of all slaves, over 250,000 left in the state.

🇻🇳 Happy Liberation Day 🇻🇳
50 years ago today, Vietnamese forces triumphantly marched into Saigon (now Ho Chi Minh City), reunifying the nation after TWO independence wars against foreign imperialist forces, France and the US.
Vietnam is a success story for anti-imperialists everywhere.

From its roots in 1908 when women in NYC struck for better working conditions and the right to vote, to socialist women making it a global holiday, and this holiday’s role in sparking the Russian Revolution, we forever stand together demanding liberation for all!

For the second time this year, Portland voters have turned out in overwhelming support of tenant rights and voted against a referendum designed to increase landlords’ profits and decrease tenant protections. We are so proud of this city of ours, but the fight doesn’t end here.
