Solidarity Calls for a Left Turn

The first issue of Solidarity's student magazine "Left Turn" and just been published and is available in Ann Arbor. It features interviews with Ray Davis, executive director of the D.C. Student Coalition Against Racism, and with a Korean student on the current state of student politics in Korea; a debate on feminist politics; four perspectives on the shape of the U.S. student movement following the Rutgers Conference; and pieces on student struggles in El Salvador, the Western Civilization debate, and union organizing on east coast campuses. A one year sub--four issues--runs a ridiculously cheap $2. If you would like to purchase a copy of the first issue or take out a subscription, call 665-2709.

Or pick up a copy at the Solidarity Discussion series meeting. On October 11, Susan Andrade of the U-M Comp. Lit. Dept. will speak on "The Oppression of Women of Color." On Oct. 25, Justin Schwartz, Philosophy and Political Science professor from Kalamazoo College, will do some Duke bashing as he speaks on "The Paradox of Social Democracy in the U.S." Both events get under way at the Guild House (802 Monroe) at 7:30pm and are free. All are welcome.

Solidarity is an organization committed to building a non-Sectarian socialist movement in the U.S. We are socialist activists who participate in the struggles against racism and sexism, as well as the struggles for lesbian and gay rights. We firmly believe that any socialist movement worthy of the name must join in these struggles now rather than perpetuate the illusion that they can either be separated from or take a back seat to the class struggle.

We oppose the growing U.S. drive toward war, whether that be in the Middle East or Central America. We support the PLO in its struggle against Israeli oppression. We see the need for international solidarity among working people and the oppressed in a period of concessions, deindustrialization, unemployment and the growing debt crisis. We believe in a creative rethinking of socialism for the 90's in which an open environment and a variety of views is more important than presenting a monolithic face to the world or engaging in pretenses of being "the vanguard."
