Women are the fastest growing demographic of incarcerated workers. Women and all people of oppressed genders face unique and intensifying cruelties within prisons, which are concentration camps for the poor and oppressed. Meanwhile, the racist and misogynist US justice system considers it a crime for women and gender oppressed workers to defend themselves from sexist, homophobic, and transphobic violence.
Black, Brown and Indigenous women face the brunt of the carceral state. Black women were imprisoned in 2017 at twice the rate for white women. Over half of all transgender prisoners report being sexually assaulted in prisons and face greater threat of forced prostitutions. Almost all transgender prisons are held in facilities that do not correspond with their true gender.

Free Palestine! No Normalization with Colonization or Occupation!
Part of the globally coordinated actions from September 18-26 defending Palestinian refugees’ right to return to their homes and lands throughout Palestine, reclaim their properties and ensure restitution and reparations.
These days of action will mark the commemoration of the Sabra and Shatila massacres, the September 1970 massacres in Jordan, the signing of the Oslo agreements and the continuing attacks, including the current farce touted as a “peace initiative”, against the rights and struggle of Palestinian refugees for return and liberation. All of these U.S. supported efforts promote militarism and delay the potential for true peace in the region–peace based on justice and human dignity.
Featuring (In order of first appearance):
From professional athletes in every sport, to unions demanding cops out of our unions, to labor calls for shut downs in defense of the most oppressed workers, a combative fightback is growing across the country. Anti-racist, working class power, expressed through our ability to shut down the capitalist’s profits by withholding our labor, is on the rise. This growing revolt, led by oppressed youth, is rapidly gaining new allies. This resistance deserves our unconditional support.
As extreme racist and fascist thugs operate with open police and presidential backing, new defense tactics are an urgent need. We will be discussing strategies for defending our class from vigilante attacks and mounting austerity.
It is time for the organized working class to defend the most oppressed of our class and put into action the famous slogan of the working class movement, “An injury to one is an injury to all!” In this Workers World Party webinar, we will hear from efforts across the U.S. to build this working class solidarity against racism.
After the DNC and RNC: We Can’t Breathe. Keep it in the streets against racism, evictions and war
Webinar organized by United National Antiwar Coalition
Speakers include:
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to rage uncontrollably in the U.S., we must understand that it doesn’t have to be this way. Many countries around the world, and above all countries building socialism, have been able to effectively combat the pandemic, using the tools of a planned economy and robust national healthcare system to prioritize the health of their populations.
The U.S. has the highest rate of infections and highest death count in the world because the health and survival of working and oppressed people is secondary to profits for the ruling class. More than 160,000 have died, millions have lost their jobs and many renters face eviction. But the wealth of U.S. billionaires has grown at least $637 billion during the pandemic!
Speakers include:
As the ruling class prepares to send children back to school in the coming weeks despite the worsening COVID-19 pandemic, education workers around the country are fighting back! Join Workers World Party and our allies as we learn from one another and take inspiration from the many struggles of workers here and abroad.
Speakers:
The COVID-19 pandemic is teaching able-bodied people what it’s like to be disabled: endless unemployment, quarantined at home, finding ways to get food delivered, isolation from friends and family. Of those who survive infection, many become disabled to some extent and remain disabled for the rest of their lives. We ALL have just gotten a taste of disability in the last few months.
Join members of the WWP Disability Rights Caucus this Thursday to discuss the struggle against ableism and it’s connections with racism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, capitalism and imperialism. Contact the WWP Disability Rights Caucus at drcwwp@workers.org

Join Workers World Party and our allies as we discuss the following questions:
Panel includes:
In order for a revolution to succeed, the working class must be organized. Whether it is community organization, or workplace struggle, uniting the working class is essential. And this requires ‘deep organizing’, creating connections with a majority of workers and community members and building power from the bottom up. As we enter into a revolutionary period, the need for deep organizing is more pressing than ever.
Speakers include:
A new, historic phase in the struggle against white supremacy and capitalism has begun. Millions have taken to the streets, the largest uprising against racist police terror and exploitation in decades. And yet there are still revolutionaries from the last major Black, Brown and Indigenous national liberation struggles of the 1960s and 1970s who are still behind bars like Leonard Peltier, Jalil Muntaqim, Dr. Mutulu Shakur, Ruchell Magee, Imam Jamil Abdullah al-Amin and many more.
Mumia Abu-Jamal is one of those revolutionaries. Held in a Pennsylvania dungeon for nearly 40 years, Mumia is an internationally renowned political prisoner. Within his story are all the elements of the current struggle. This webinar was put on by the newly re-formed Prisoners Solidarity Committee of Workers World Party. Speakers and moderators were as follows:
This meeting is dedicated to the militant history of the LGBTQ2S+ struggle which arose from the fight against police terror, murder and oppression in the 1960’s. The movement was founded by our trans bothers, sisters, and others who fought in the streets against police raids and terror. This history is tied to the current rebellions of the Black Lives Matter Movement.
