DESCRIPTION:Fascism is authoritarianism and class war combined with destruction of 
 social relations within the working class. In order to gain power, fascist 
 movements amplify already-existing prejudices among working-class people, 
 positioning themselves as the defenders of “normal” people against the 
 “others.”\n\nTrans people are currently under attack with both 
 street-level violence and legislation. These attacks, and the propaganda 
 aimed at getting working-class people to support them, are part of the war 
 against the entire working class. The purpose, as ever, is to prevent the 
 growth of workers’ solidarity by driving a wedge between us based on our 
 differences.\nWe need to be united to fight for our everyday needs and for 
 a better future for all.\n\nThis forum will help us put what is happening 
 to trans people into the context of the general conditions in this country 
 and explore ways to fight the growth of fascism in the USA.\n\n Speakers 
 include:\nCassandra Devereaux – transwoman, writes for Fighting Words, 
 the journal of the Communist Workers League\nRosa Astra – organizer in 
 Oakland with the Party for Socialism and Liberation, writes for the 
 socialist feminist magazine Breaking the Chains and Liberation 
 News\n*Organizations listed for identification purposes only.\n\nPlease 
 help us celebrate our return to the Starry Plough by ordering food and/or 
 drinks. Please arrive early to place your order so that you do not miss any 
 of the presentations. An open discussion will follow the 
 presentations.\n\nWe will be accepting donations which will be divided 
 among the sponsoring organizations.\nThis event is sponsored by the Alameda 
 County Peace and Freedom Party and Bay Area System Change Not Climate 
 Change.\nFor more information email \n    \n\n
