About this Event
See our socialist program at: www.thechicagosocialistprogram.org
There will be food, live music and most importantly working class politics at this event!
December 4th is the day in 1969 when the Chicago Police and FBI assassinated Chairman of the Illinois Black Panther Party, Fred Hampton, who was only 21 at the time. The state feared Fred Hampton because he was uniting workers around a common vision, a vision for the future, for socialism. Join us as we honor his legacy and continue the struggle for socialism.
Working people produce all the wealth, but a tiny group of billionaires hoard the vast majority of it for themselves. We are socialists, and we believe workers should run the world.
Socialism is a society where political and economic power belongs to the working class and the oppressed, and where the basic needs of the population and the planet are planned for and guaranteed. Getting there means working people organizing to take power into our own hands and defeating the billionaires. This is our socialist program for Chicago, five demands that meet the needs of working class Chicagoans and move us toward our socialist horizon.
Join us in taking the Chicago Socialist Program to every door, workplace, and neighborhood! A diginified life requires workers taking reign over our future, so that we have political power, not the billionaires!
