History was made on Tuesday when, for the first time ever, a sitting U.S. President joined workers on the picket line. What forces at work have led to this moment?
The GOP is once again holding the federal government hostage — this time, over border issues and the war in Ukraine. Is there a crisis of capitalist governance? How will a government shutdown affect working people?
Writers Guild of America members won a tentative agreement with the AMPTP on Wednesday after nearly 150 days on the picket line. How might this struggle put a working-class stamp on U.S. cultural production?
The Communist Party USA is a revolutionary working-class political party founded in 1919 in Chicago, IL.
The Communist Party stands for the interests of the American working class and the American people. It stands for our interests in both the present and the future. Solidarity with workers of other countries is also part of our work. We work in coalition with the labor movement, the peace movement, the student movement, organizations fighting for equality and social justice, the environmental movement, immigrants rights groups and the health care for all campaign.
But to win a better life for working families, we believe that we must go further. We believe that the American people can replace capitalism with a system that puts people before profit — socialism.
We are rooted in our country's revolutionary history and its struggles for democracy. We call for "Bill of Rights" socialism, guaranteeing full individual freedoms.
We are a political party of the working class, for the working class, with no corporate sponsors or billionaire backers. Join the generations of workers whose generosity and solidarity sustains the fight for justice.
