More Pix from Saturday's March

Someone asked if the Workers World Party has any relation to the IWW (Industrial Workers of the World), and as a Wobbly (IWW member) I would say that there is no relationship.

The WWP - Workers World Party http://www.workersworld.net is a socialist splinter group that split from the main Socialist party in 1958 after the Socialist Workers Party refused to support the 1956 Soviet invasion and repression of the Hungarian popular uprising against their Stalinist satellite government. The Workers World Party formed from those who supported the Soviet invasion and repression of the workers and community councils that Hungarians had formed to meet their own needs without government support. Thousands of Hungarians were killed and disappeared for their organizing.

The IWW is the Industrial Workers of the World http://www.iww.org which is a radical labor union founded in Chicago in 1905 by revolutionary socialists and anarchists of various stripes to carry out class struggle via direct action at the point of production in as democratic a fashion as possible. The IWW does not endorse political parties and does not seek to sieze state power through electoral politics. Instead it seeks to organize workers to use direct action to enact improvements in the workplace, rather than using the legal system which stymies organizing and solidarity. That is our hope and we are looking to build a labor movement that extends outside the boundaries of bargaining units, business unions, and the NLRB which have served to limit solidarity and cooperation among workers for almost a century.

thanks again for the info
