HUGE WORKERS' PARTY VICTORY IN BRAZIL

by L. Shaw (lshaw [at] solddowntheriver.org)
Come hear director of Brazil's confederation of unions!
Brazil has achieved an extraordinary Workers Party victory with Lula da Silva's ascension to the presidency. Meanwhile, the US is mired in apathy and cynicism caused by the corruption and cronyism of big-money politics. How can we learn from and build upon Brazil's workers' uprising???

Julio Turra, the national executive director of the nine-million-member Unified Trade Union Confederation of Brazil, will speak on these points Sunday, December 8th, from 10 am to 12:30 pm at 522 Valencia St., San Francisco. Come hear the inside story of the Brazilian Workers Party's remarkable success!

($5 donation requested to defray travel expenses.)


Turra will also be speaking at the December 7th, National Labor Conference Against Taft-Hartley and Union-Busting at Mission High School. See http://www.portsolidarity2002.org/
We are 100% volunteer and depend on your participation to sustain our efforts!
