Stop the attacks on immigrant workers, on the
unemployed, on students, on working people swindled by the banks, on
women facing all the consequences of human service budget cuts, on
veterans of U.S. wars and occupations. Enough!
We demand an end to the policies and practices
of the U.S. government that ignore our right, and deny us our ability,
to survive.
We stand in solidarity with the people of
Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Palestine, and Mexico who are casualties
of U.S. and U.S. –funded wars of conquest and occupation (including the
so-called “war on drugs”).
We, the Women’s Commission of the Socialist
Party USA, call for…
U.S. troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan
now! No war on Iran; no military aid to Israel
Immediate redirection of at least 50% of the
military budget to national healthcare, social services, mass transit,
and low-cost housing
Uncompromising defense of minority rights,
women’s rights, workers’ rights, and immigrant rights
Full-funding for high-quality public education
from Pre-Kindergarten on up
Steeply graduated state and federal income
taxes and an array of luxury taxes; tax the rich!
Independent political action: Dump the
Democrats!
Capitalism’s
time is up. It is our right and our duty to create a
different economic system—one that is of, by, and for the working
people of all nations. Join the movement for a global democratic
socialist society.

Socialist Women

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
low-status anddiscrimination
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.
