Branch Meeting on 2/5

Come talk politics and organizing with the DC International Socialist Organization!

2 million people came to Washington on January 20 in DC to celebrate the call for change. There is no question that the election of an African American President in a land built by slaves is profound and historic. But for those of us who want change, challenges are everywhere: wars in Afghanistan, Palestine, and Iraq rage on, bankers are being given billions in taxpayer money, and jobs, healthcare, and education are suffering. Ordinary people are feeling the brunt of these attacks across the country.

The people of DC are no exception. The President of the University of the District of Columbia recently announced his proposal for tuition hikes and an end to open enrollment at the city's only public university. Students at UDC are rightly fighting back. Come join local activists with the DC ISO as we talk about standing with the students of UDC against the attacks on education, building against the war on local campuses, and fighting for real grassroots change in the form of jobs, education, and healthcare.

When: Thursday, February 5 @ 7 pm

Where: La Casa Community Center (3166 Mt. Pleasant Street – Columbia Heights metro)
