Our red flags were flying high and the working class prevailed. We need money for bail and legal expenses. Workers are fed up with Democrats, Republicans and voting. They are ready and eager to hear that PLP is organizing for communist revolution to smash this racist system. The Democratic Convention will take place this week just a few miles away from Madison-Pulaski, the heart of an area that burned during the rebellions of the 1960s.
Workers have even more reason to rebel now than they did then.
Clinton and the Democrats have cut welfare, attacked immigrants, put more killer cops on the streets and launched vicious invasions of Haiti and Somalia. Expect much worse after the November elections. Both Democrats and Republicans represent a desperate capitalist ruling class and fascism is the order of the day. The rulers fear what will happen when angry workers grasp communist ideas. That's why they had their cops attack our march.
