🏗️ We can't continue to settle for less than we deserve, working people of all backgrounds must come together and build something better.
If you believe:
🛠️ That the people that do the work should get their fair share.
⚖️ That racism, sexism, queerphobia, and all other types of oppression should be fought and eradicated from society.
🕊️ That we must do everything possible to stop American imperialism and genocide and achieve world peace.
🗳️ That what little democracy we have now should be defended from fascists like Trump.
🚩 That the only way forward is a new system, not just reforming what we know is designed to exploit us.
🤝 Then the CPUSA is a political home for you. You don't need to be well-read or experienced with organizing; you just need to care. If you have questions or concerns, reach out here and we'll help. Use the link in our bio to join today, we'll see you in the struggle.
Are you ready to fight back today?
