Racism, sexism and transphobia: capitalism & oppression
Saturday 2:10 PM
Capitalism breeds oppression. In fact, it can’t exist without it. Racism, sexism, and transphobia are essential to a system that oppresses billions of workers around the world.

This session will examine the many different approaches to oppression today and argue that a strategy based on solidarity and class struggle is key to winning liberation today.
