The League for the Revolutionary Party (LRP) is a socialist organization. In New York our supporters include transit, hospital and postal union members as well as workers elsewhere. Our goal is to build an international revolutionary party to lead working class struggles with the aim of building a struggle against the whole capitalist system.
We need to build a revolutionary party leadership to carry out struggles in every arena -- the struggle of the unions, the fight against police brutality and other racist attacks, the struggle against cutbacks in health care and education and the like. Revolutionaries unite in struggle with our fellow workers at every opportunity to show how the working class not only can win immediate victories, but has the power to overthrow capitalism for good.
We encourage all interested workers to send in for a free issue of our magazine, Proletarian Revolution, in order to learn more about the revolutionary analysis that is so essential to bringing about working class unity and challenging this rotten capitalist system.
