Is the war on abortion a matter of religious fanaticism? An attack on sexual pleasure? National Women’s Liberation believes these popular arguments don’t go deep enough. Using Jenny Brown’s book Birth Strike, we'll discuss the material, economic and racialized reasons that the capitalist class desperately needs to control reproductive labor.
Editors note: At 8:30 the speakers incorrectly refer to the 1965 Supreme Court Case Griswold v. CT as granting abortion to married couples and it should be birth control.

Considered to be one of the greatest crimes of American imperialism, this year marks two decades since the invasion of Iraq.

This session will look at the catastrophic legacy of the Iraq war.

January 17, 2024 What and Who is the Ruling Class?
Josh On speaks in this session recorded at Socialism 2023.
As much as they would like to deny it, there is a ruling class. This talk will examine the questions of why some people have more power to make important decisions that affect us all, who they are and how they rule today. It will provide an analysis of the structural relations that cement their rule - the market and the state.

https://lux-magazine.com
The attacks on abortion access and trans existence are coming from the same Christian nationalist far-right playbook. The legal challenges and intimidation campaigns against those seeking reproductive and trans healthcare are coordinated incursions on our right to control our bodies and our lives. How can we connect our two movements more concretely to effectively fight our common enemy and advance bodily autonomy for all?
