Just like with Iraq, the majority of Democratic elected officials are likely to fall in line. The Dems overwhelmingly supported the invasion of Iraq under George W. Bush. Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, leading Dems in Congress, are just as loyal to Netanyahu’s warmongering campaign as Trump is.

The trillions of dollars spent on war should be spent on healthcare, education, and a green union jobs program to build public, affordable housing and transportation. We need to escalate the anti-war movement. This should include mass protests, civil disobedience and workers’ action such as strikes.

✊ Deportation defense committees in every workplace!
✊ The Democrats and the courts won’t save us; we need a new party for working people!
✊ Unions need to lead the way to a one-day national strike – shut down ICE, shut down businesses, shut down Trump!

✊ End the raids! Free all detainees. Immediate, legalization and equal rights for all undocumented immigrants.
✊ ICE, National Guard, and Marines off our streets!
✊ Escalate the protests to occupations and sit-ins at immigration courts and government offices. Shut the deportation system down!

We talked to hundreds of people about the need to get organized in our schools, workplaces, and communities to fight back against the far-right’s attacks. Join us at our organizing meeting this Thursday at 7pm at the Montrose Center to find out how you can get involved.

This is the kind of action we need today, and we need genuine movement leaders who will fight to organize it.

We need to build this movement on a national scale. Join a protest near you and read the full article with our analysis at socialistalternative.org!

These protests should be used to build for national strike action. We've done it before. In 2006 on what became known as “Day Without An Immigrant,” millions of workers—both immigrant and native-born—took to the streets instead of going to work and successfully stopped a bill from passing.

50501 has also called a national day of action on June 14, which if explicitly turned into anti-deportation protests with clear demands and a fighting strategy, could be a mass event of millions connecting with the labor movement to escalate to strikes and walkouts.

SEIU should go out again, this time in all workplaces in LA county, to demand shutting down Operation At Large, ending deportations, freeing Huerta and all arrested protesters, and to kick out the Guard.
June 10, 2025 at 3:57 PM
We need to build these actions into a mass working-class movement that uses protests and strike action to stop Trump's mass deportations and to go on the offensive to fight for more. In April, 50,000 city workers in David Huerta’s SEIU went on a one-day strike as part of a contract fight.

This is the only basis upon which national rights can be respected, and wars ended. Learn more at socialistalternative.org.

a revolutionary alternative of socialist change, where the key sectors of the economy and key resources are held under public, democratic ownership and control.

Above all, we need to fight for a socialist alternative to the bloody imperialism of the capitalist system

These developments underline the urgency of maintaining, rebuilding and escalating the international movement against the oppression of the Palestinians and imperialist warmongering.

the US would “take over” and “own” the Gaza strip, ethnically cleanse it of Palestinian people, and transform it into a “beautiful Riviera.”

—Build a movement against the destructive policies of US imperialism around the world that drive working class people to flee their home countries. We need an international struggle for socialism to fight for a world that works for us, not the ruling elite.

—No deportations! Immediate citizenship and equal rights for all undocumented immigrants.
—Build a movement that unites immigrants and US-born workers against the billionaire class!
February 3, 2025 at 1:25 AM
—ICE out of hospitals, schools, churches, and workplaces!
—No deportations! Immediate citizenship and equal rights for all undocumented immigrants.
—Unions should begin now to organize emergency deportation defense networks to shut down workplace raids by ICE.
