Peace & Freedom Party’s co-sponsored Suds, Snacks & Socialism monthly forum series continues in online form via Zoom meeting on Saturday, September 11, to discuss Socialism in the 21st Century: What will it look like and how can we get there?

The existing profit-driven system is destroying lives, livelihoods, and the planet we live on at an accelerating rate, making abolishing capitalism and achieving socialism an imperative. At this forum we will try to define the kind of society we want and urgently need and discuss how to unite the mass of people we need to win it.

Join a discussion with

• Howie Hawkins, Green Party* 2020 presidential candidate;
• Marsha Feinland of Peace and Freedom Party of California; and
• Hillary Chen of Democratic Socialists of America.

The program will start promptly at 2:30pm PT and is expected to wrap up by 4:30pm. To join the forum, click here or write This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for login instructions.

A few hundred marchers gathered on Saturday April 24, 2021, near Al Rojas’s home in Sacramento and marched to Southside Park for a rally and celebration of Al Rojas. Emcee for the event was Alan Benjamin, a member of the San Francisco Labor Council Executive Committee and, as was Al, a Peace and Freedom Party registrant.

It was an international event as several of the speakers were in Mexico and addressed the crowd via Zoom. Among the speakers were Johnny Itliong, the son of Filipino Farm Workers organizer Larry Itliong; members of the Trachenberg Family, who put Al up when he was sent to Pennsylvania to organize the grape boycott; family members; and speakers from a number of organizers from various movements.
