We are Southwest Pennsylvania residents who believe in the need for radical change of our economic and political system. That system does not provide for the needs of the overwhelming majority of people in our cities and counties. Our governments should not be run by and for the interests of the small elite who built and expanded their enormous wealth and power by means of endless wars and a for-profit system that uses racism to divide us. We believe that through local activism, in combination with independent participation in elections and neighborhood organizing, local communities can begin the long process of radical change. We seek liberty and justice for all, no matter our race, ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, or disability.
Cut the War Budget, Fund Local Needs.
