A New South is Possible: The Working Class Must Lead
We need to organize and stand together as working families to take back our lives, our communities, our schools, and our workplaces.
Want to organize your workplace but don’t know where to start?
It’s time we broke our state’s addiction to cheap labor. The same families that exploited workers for generations are still addicted to keeping that cheap labor system alive today. They own jets, multiple as in more than one million-dollar homes, and country club memberships.
If you, like us, are tired of being exploited and want to form a union where you work, let’s talk.
Post here or shoot us a DM, and let’s stand together to unionize the South.
It’s time to take back our God-given, as-American-as-apple-pie rights and power as the working class.
>!Our labor produces their wealth.!<

Lucy Parsons Archive releases Brazilian edition of The General Strike, by Ralph Chaplin
The Lucy Parsons Archive presents the Brazilian edition of The General Strike, by Ralph Chaplin, a classic of revolutionary unionism originally published in 1933.
Connected to the tradition of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), the work discusses the general strike as a strategic tool for working-class organization at the point of production, addressing themes such as industrial unionism, direct action, class solidarity, and industrial democracy.
Translated and published in Fortaleza, this booklet edition seeks to contribute to the circulation of historical materials related to experiences of autonomous worker organization.
In-person launches
Fortaleza — Ceará
On May 8, the booklet was launched during the Literary and Artistic Fair organized by Revista Pindaíba, held at Praça Rosa da Fonseca / João Gentil, in the Benfica neighborhood of Fortaleza.
The Lucy Parsons Archive table was supported by militants from the Organização Popular Terra Liberta and the Sindicato Geral Autônomo da Educação do Ceará (SIGAE-CE), strengthening the local circulation of the work and dialogue between initiatives focused on memory, political education, and popular organization.
Rio de Janeiro — RJ
On May 9, the booklet was featured at the Feira Autônoma do Rio Popular Ameríndia (FARPA), organized at the Gilberto Domingos Occupation by the Movimento Unificado dos Camelôs (MUCA).
The table of the Associação dos Trabalhadores de Base do Rio de Janeiro (ATB-RJ) displayed and distributed the work alongside publications from publishers and groups such as Intermezzo, Ácrata, and the Instituto de Estudos Libertários (IEL), expanding the circulation of the edition within spaces of popular organization and grassroots unionism.
New chats!
The Lucy Parsons Archive also invites research groups, study spaces, struggle organizations, unions, collectives, and other interested initiatives to organize dialogues, debates, reading groups, and educational activities — in person or online — around the work, revolutionary unionism, and the memory of working-class struggles.
Photos from the launch can be found here. We encourage the republication of this email and the photos from our website by other outlets and initiatives sympathetic to the subject.

What to do with people who are unable to do shop work?
The title sounds a little crazy I know, but recently we’ve had several people show up to our local meetings who work at places where organizing isn’t really an option. One is a legal aid, one works for a small business owned by his brother and is the only employee, and the other works at a small non-profit.
All of these people are pretty passionate about joining and participating in the organization. Though our local work right now is heavily dedicated to workplace organizing, and everyone else is organizing at their workplace.
I want to make their time in the organization fulfilling and interesting so they stick around, because often right now we’ll be having conversations about what we did the past two weeks to organize our individual workplaces and they’ll end up left out of the conversation.

See, for example, the unity around the government in Spain 1936-39. The government crushed the revolution and fascism won.
Left unity is good for social democratic politicians that want support for administering capitalism. Also good for leninist parties that want to introduce state-capitalism.
A united left binds together some workers with the ruling classes, but divides the working class. A united class divides the left; the class challenge the rulers including red politicians.
