Don’t miss ‘China at 75’
China at 75 – Changes Unseen in a Century is an event you do not want to miss!
Taking place in-person in New York City on Sunday, Sept. 29, this event is also being live streamed.
International Assemblies for Peace and Solidarity with China at 75, initiated by Friends of Socialist China, are also planned for London on Sept. 28 and Dublin on Oct. 4.
Oct. 1 will mark the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, when Mao Zedong declared that “the Chinese people have stood up.”
These unified events are monumental because of the enormous role China plays in the world today. The People’s Republic of China, over the last 75 years, went from being a colonial holding looted by the world powers to now becoming the economic powerhouse of the world, providing hope for other developing countries fighting for sovereignty against the forces of imperialism.
U.S. threats, military encirclement and hostile propaganda are escalating daily. In this consequential moment, it is paramount that socialist, anti-imperialist and progressive forces join together to explain and defend the role of China today.
The New York City event is jointly organized by Friends of Socialist China and Workers World Party in coordination with Black Agenda Report, Freedom Road Socialist Organization, Qiao Collective and the International Manifesto Group. Many other organizations and individuals known for their political contributions in analyzing the Chinese Revolution will participate.
The New York City Assembly is on Sunday, September 29 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. [Eastern Time], at the Malcolm X and Dr. Betty Shabazz Memorial and Educational Center, at 165th Street and Broadway in Harlem, New York.
The New York City program will include five panels in a Mass Assembly for Peace and Solidarity.
