Dear Sisters and Brothers,

This is a reminder that you are invited to participate in the “Rally against Republicans, Who are Hurting Us!” on Saturday, February 28, at 2 pm, on the sidewalks at the intersection of Harrisburg and Macario Garcia (Hwy 90) in Houston.

As our previous email noted, the purpose of the Rally is to expose the Republicans and the Far Right for their increasingly dangerous attacks on workers, people of color, women, immigrants, LGBTQ communities, and the masses as a whole—and to help develop the kind of independent working class political action which will be required to stop these dangerous attacks. Of course, we will also have something to say about reformist politicians whose real loyalty is to the wealthy few, not the people.

So if you’re opposed to further militarization and racist militias on the border; repealing in-state tuition, DACA, and executive relief for undocumented people; openly racist attacks on people of color, Muslims, and other minorities; the attacks on women’s rights; the refusal to expand Medicaid and attempts to cut Social Security and Medicare; the refusal to adequately fund public schools, services for the disabled, and veterans care; widespread unemployment and poverty wages; the constantly growing legal and economic privileges and rights of the very rich; calls for new wars in Iraq, Syria, and Iran; giving Latin American governments taxpayer money to repress their people under the guise of fighting the drug trade; and more…You should join us on February 28!

This event is being organized by the Houston Socialist Movement. We are a new organization of long-time activists who are resolutely opposed to the Republicans and the Far Right–and their reformist counterparts–harming the working class and the masses of people. We are committed to helping workers and democratic-minded people of all nationalities understand that these problems are rooted in the capitalist system and that socialism here in the United States and around the world is the answer to these problems.

The February 28 Rally will feature short speeches, chants, music, the distribution of flyers, and an open microphone. We hope to see you there. If you would like more information, please contact us at movimientosocialistahouston@gmail.com or (832) 692-2306.

In Solidarity,

Houston Socialist Movement
