Historic November 4 Election: People's Demands for Change Must Now Be Heeded!
This was an historic election, not because electing the nation’s first Black president signifies the end of racist oppression in this country, but because millions of Blacks, Latinos, youth, and working people of all backgrounds seized on this election to say: enough is enough, racism and oppression must end now. In the context of the deepening economic crisis, the election also was a cry from working people of all backgrounds: We cannot accept the destruction of our jobs, our homes, our public services and our communities — this crisis is not of our making and we should not be made to pay for it.
