Comrades, One of the many ways capitalism has warped our world is by erecting barriers, physical and mental and emotional, between people. Reconnecting with each other on a human level is not just desirable – it is essential to the project of dismantling capitalism. What we’re saying is, come hang…

Comrades,  The need for struggle is both clear and daunting – it is difficult to imagine a better future when that future seems more distant by the day. All the more important, then, is that we rise in rage and hope, making clear to those in power that the people…

Comrades,  After months of hard work (and some barbecues!), we’ve finally hit our signature goal to get the Empty Homes Tax on the ballot! Big thanks to everyone who helped get us here and push this campaign forward, from our Signature Captains on down. We’re that much closer to making…
