Statement on May Day 2010
This May Day, 2010, the Women's Commission of the Socialist Party USA
joins our socialist feminist comrades worldwide to honor the work women
do both to maintain our families, workplaces, and communities and to
fundamentally change the system that so persistently and callously
disregards and undermines these efforts.
This year, we celebrate, in particular, the actions of public sector
workers, domestic workers, and other sections of the working
class who are fed-up with layoffs, cutbacks, and bad pay and working
conditions and are fighting back by demanding economic justice and the
right of all to high-quality education, jobs, health care, housing,
mass transit, and social services in a safe, healthy, and sustainable
environment.
As socialist feminists, we look forward to increased cooperation and
coordination among public and private sector workers, within and across
national borders. We know that only solidarity and organization
at the international as well as at the local level will enable us to
create a broad-based global democratic socialist movement for women's
and workers' rights.
Happy May Day!
Together we will make capitalism and patriarchy history!

History
Socialist
Women
is the national publication of the Women's Commission
of the Socialist Party USA. It has been in circulation
since the Fall
of 2000, starting as a 2-page newsletter, but rapidly expanding to an
8-page magazine distributed around the country 3 times a year.
Currently, Socialist Women is a 16-page magazine, published twice a
year (March and September) in conjunction with the Socialist Party's
other national publication, The Socialist. It is produced by a
four-person collective consisting of three editors and a
designer. It
is printed by Saltus Press, a unionized print-shop in Worcester,
Massachusetts.
Mission
Socialist
Women is a socialist feminist publication dedicated to the realization
that women's personal and political lives are inextricably
connected.
During the Second Wave of feminism in the 1970's and 1980's, millions
of us came to understand the nature of our
oppression and the
horrendous impact of patriarchy on our existence
as individuals. The

discrimination
we experience today is an outgrowth of the twin evils of patriarchy and
capitalism. This situation can only be overcome through the
awareness,
actions, and solidarity of women and men combined with the
consciousness, ideology, and programs necessary to build an
international mass movement for fundamental social change.
