Juneteenth & Fight Today Against Resegregation & A Fascist Government-Time For Mass Action

by LVP
The rise of fascism and the attack on Black representation in the South are connected since the supporters of fascism want to disenfranchise the entire Black population yet there has been no national action against this direct fascist racist attack to bring back segregation. Retired ILWU Local 10 secretary-treasurer talks about the need to build a national working class mobilization against the attack on Black representation and to prepare for a fascist attempt to impose martial law to prevent any transfer of power.
