Subject: [blind-democracy] Vote Socialist Action in 2016! Jeff Mackler for U.S.
President!
As far as I know this is the first time that Socialist Action has fielded a
presidential candidate. You will recall that I have expressed some doubts about
voting for Alyson Kennedy this time. If I don't vote for her then this just
might be the way I will vote.

Vote Socialist Action in 2016! Jeff Mackler for U.S. President!
/ 17 hours ago
May 2016 Jeff
Socialist Action is launching a national election campaign, with National
Secretary Jeff Mackler as the party’s candidate for U.S.
president, and Karen Schraufnagel as its candidate for vice president.
Jeff Mackler has spent a lifetime fighting for the working class and social
justice. He is a veteran opponent of U.S. imperialist wars and interventions,
and a leading environmental and social justice activist.
From the Vietnam era until today, he has organized and chaired many huge
rallies against U.S. wars. He is a founder of the Northern California Climate
Mobilization, and has played a major role in organizing Bay Area climate change
protests.
A former teachers union leader, Mackler was the organizer and longtime elected
officer of the AFT and CTA locals in Hayward, Calif. He is the director of the
Mobilization to Free Mumia Abu-Jamal, and the author and editor of close to 25
books and pamphlets on labor and social history, politics, civil liberties, and
economics. Mackler was Socialist Action’s candidate in California for the U.S.
Senate in 2006.
Karen Schraufnagel is a member of Socialist Action’s National Committee and
organizer of its Twin Cities branch. She is a founder of Minnesotans Against
Islamophobia, and is active in the anti-Zionist Boycott, Divestment, and
Sanctions movement and the animal rights, antiwar, and environmental movements.
Socialist Action’s forthcoming 10-point socialist platform encompasses a
broad-ranging critique of Wall Street’s politics-for-profit policies.
Key issues that Mackler and Schraufnagel are campaigning for include:
•Rapid conversion to 100% renewable energy to stop fossil-fuel-induced climate
change •For a just transition: Guaranteed jobs at top union wages for all
workers displaced in the conversion to renewable energy •Quality, universal
government-paid health care and education •Abolition of all racist, sexist, and
homophobic laws and practices.
•Affordable housing and jobs for all at top union wages •For $15 and a union
now, as a short first step toward a minimum wage high enough to sustain quality
living standards •Abolition of the U.S. war machine •Amnesty, legalization, and
equal rights for all immigrants •For a Labor Party based on a revitalized,
democratic, and expanded labor movement that is allied with the oppressed and
exploited •For a workers’ government! Abolish capitalism! For socialism!
Join us in supporting Jeff Mackler and Karen Schraufnagel in fighting for the
working class and against the twin parties of U.S. capitalism.
