Environmental destruction? Islamophobia? Corporate greed? 

All of the above?

Come to Wednesdays' meeting on

Why You Should Be a Socialist:

What is Socialism and How do we get there?

Wed 10/6 at 7pm

UW Savery Hall Room 139 

We live in a world of poverty, war and environmental devastation. A world where living standards for working people plummet while an elite few enjoy lives of unbelievable wealth and power. An alternative to capitalism is desperately needed. The word "socialism" has returned to the mainstream of American political debate. But there are widespread misconceptions about what socialism is—and what it isn't. Socialism is really about the struggle to oppose discrimination in all its forms and to put the needs of working people before corporate profits. Come discuss the idea of socialism—and socialist strategies for changing the world.

Next week:
10/13 - Intro to the ISO Organizing Meeting

Come find out more about the ISO--the politics of the national organization, as well as what we're up to at UW. Meet members of our group and hear about our campaigns on campus and how you can get involved. There will be a short presentation and lots of time for questions -- so if you want to know more about us, what we think about political issues, how we organize, why we organize the way we do, and how to get involved come check this meeting out!
