Engaging millions in mass protest, not violence, is the path to social change

 

The apparent assassination attempt on Donald Trump that resulted in the death of one person and the injury of others is sure to deepen the country’s political crisis.

We know only too well the consequence of the assassinations of political figures. As we said many times the CPUSA rejects violence and terror: they only serve the interests of the forces of hate and division.

In these difficult times we call on our members and friends to remain vigilant and resist provocation from any source as the country recovers from the aftermath of the shooting. We remain committed to non-violent forms of struggle as we continue to work address the main issues before the U.S. public: the Gaza genocide, climate change, abortion, voting and immigrant rights, health care, police violence and equality for all.

Awakening Martin Luther King Jr’s dream and tradition of engaging millions in mass protest is the road to real change, peace and progress.

    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.
