<hr size="2" width="100%"><font face="Arial">Dear Friends,<br>
<br>
This is a time when revolutionary forces that have been in the
forefront of the struggle against the capitalist crisis urgently need
to find time to analyze, review and strategize on how to approach this
period of growing hardship and great potential.<br>
<br>
<b>Workers World Party urges you to join us on Nov. 14-15 at our
national conference in New York City.<br>
<br>
We have real contributions to make to this much-needed discussion,
based on our 50 years of consistent revolutionary theory and practice.
We are proud to be celebrating Workers World Party’s 50th anniversary
at this year’s conference.</b><br>
<br>
We are witnessing the biggest worldwide economic crisis of the
capitalist system since the Great Depression of the 1930s. The
tumultuous turn of events over the past year is unlike any that most of
us have experienced in our lifetime.<br>
<br>
<b>In this global crisis, critical questions have been catapulted to
the fore:</b><br>
<br>
</font>
<ul>
<li><font face="Arial">What is the next stage of the crisis? What is
the meaning of a ‘Jobless Recovery’?</font></li>
<li><font face="Arial">Will the working class and oppressed peoples,
in the U.S. and around the world, be able to mount a real struggle in
their own defense?</font></li>
<li><font face="Arial">With Barack Obama, as the first
African-American president of the U.S. imperialist government, what are
the unique challenges for Black workers, immigrant workers, the whole
working class and the anti-imperialist movements?</font></li>
</ul>
<font face="Arial"><br>
This two-day conference will help us evaluate our experiences in
organizing in many cities against foreclosures, evictions, layoffs and
plant closings, and the united efforts to mobilize against the
multi-billion dollar bank bailout. It is an opportunity to assess our
organizing in Pittsburgh, before and during the G-20 Summit and to
consider the experiences of the workers’ struggles at Republic Windows
and Doors in Chicago and Stella D’Oro in New York.<br>
<br>
Considering the enormous opposition within Honduras to a U.S.-backed
coup, we will take up what Marxists in the United States can do to aid
the popular resistance. We will discuss international mass movements in
solidarity with Palestine. We will talk about how the anti-imperialist
movement can intervene in the increasingly contentious debate within
the ruling class, and raise independent demands to end the occupation
of the Middle East and Central Asia?<br>
<br>
We want to thoughtfully consider how the deepening capitalist economic
crisis, the endless wars and occupations, and the development of the
class struggle, can contribute to forging greater unity against
national oppression, women’s oppression and LGBT oppression in the
United States.<br>
<br>
The conference will feature plenaries, discussion groups, and strategy
sessions with activists from across the country representing many
different struggles. There will be music and spoken-word performances,
too. We are excited by the large number of youth and student activists
who plan to attend the conference. We are encouraged by the serious
union and community activists--who have been with us in the
streets--who are taking the time to join us in our deliberations.<br>
<br>
<b>Plan now to join us on the weekend of November 14-15 in New York City</b>;
we need your participation in this important political and strategic
discussion.<br>
<br>
We are confident that a revolutionary, multinational working-class
party tested by decades of experience, will help the struggle for
socialism to re-emerge stronger, with advanced prospects, in the new
political world environment.<br>
<br>
<i><b>Hope to see you on Nov. 14-15. On to a great conference!</b></i><br>
<br>
In Solidarity and Struggle,<br>
