We believe that working people should run both the economy and society democratically to meet human needs, not to make profits for a few. We're organizing our communities and fighting to win a democratic socialist society.
Healthcare, education and good jobs are human rights. Under capitalism, the bosses, landlords, and politicians hoard wealth, leaving the rest of us with barely enough to survive. Democratic Socialism means working people — not the rich — should be in charge of society! We are fighting to win a world organized and governed by and for the many, not the few.

The Left Strategy Reading Group is dedicated to promoting a deeper understanding of modern and contemporary Marxist theory about the state, political strategy, and party organization. This group will discuss Marxist political theory through analyzing important texts from socialist thinkers, writers, organizers, and leaders, centered on works from the 1960s to the present day. We'll start with a series of political essays and Ralph Miliband's book Marxism & Politics.

Curious about how capitalism shapes gender, labor, and everyday life? Want to dig into the roots of gender oppression and how people have organized against it?
Our Marxist Feminist Reading Group is a space to unpack big ideas together, without pressure. We’ll take our time working through texts, paragraph by paragraph, written by key figures such as Clara Zetkin, Angela Davis, Alexandra Kollontai, bell hooks and Silvia Federici.
No prior reading required, just a willingness to engage and think critically alongside others.
This takes place in the same location as and immediately after the Intro to Marxism reading group; feel free to stay for both if you want!
