Solidarity Labors On

SOLIDARITY LABORS ON

Solidarity will kick off the new year by co-sponsoríng a talk with the Guild House by Kim Moody, Labor Notes staffer and author of the just-published "An Injury to All" (Verso). Kim will be speaking about topics related to his book, an analysis of what has happened to the U.S. labor movement, and how dissident union movements might redress the current employer offensive against unions. The free talk at the Guild House, on Tues., Jan. 24, will start at 7:30 pm. Kim's talk will be the first of several sponsored by Solidarity in the first half of 1989. Check future AGENDAs for details.

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 such struggles now, rather than perpetuate the illusion that they can either be separated from - or take a back seat to - the class struggle. In Ann Arbor, our members participate in FSACC, LASC, POWOR, UCAR and Concerned Faculty.

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 90s 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."
