"Our candidates and our party are trying to be blood and bone with the different examples of resistance that are going on, whether it's fighting back against the resistance in Keokuk, the fight against police brutality, the fight to defend a woman's right to choose abortion, or the fight to defend the rights of immigrant workers. It's these fights that are the school of the working class, where we begin to come together and to learn what it means to exercise solidarity. And we learn to discover our own worth and our capacity to fight back." (www.youtube.com)

We demand that the troops be brought home." (youtu.be)
