Repression and Resistance at Home and Abroad
April 9, 2026 @ 8:00-9:30pm ET / 5:00-6:30pm PT
UNITED LEFT PLATFORM, an alliance of revolutionary socialist organizations, invites you to a webinar with an activist panel on confronting anti-immigrant terror and attacks on democratic rights at home, and U.S. imperial crimes around the world.
The roundtable represents some of the important experiences of the rising movements resisting the domestic and global rampages of U.S. imperialism under the Trump administration, with perspectives on how these struggles can become powerful, unified and politically independent. From beating back ICE terror in Minneapolis to opposing the U.S.- Israeli wars on Palestine, Iran and Lebanon, and the U.S. threats to Cuba and Latin America, we see the critical necessity of bringing them together for a common purpose of collective liberation. The panelists will discuss how concrete experiences of May Day organizing can connect domestic resistance to MAGA authoritarianism to opposition to U.S. wars and imperialism as a whole.
PANELISTS:
Kip Hedges – School bus driver and longtime union activist in Minneapolis
Avery Wear – Tempest/San Diego Socialists/ LSAN
Omid Rezaian – Internationalist Marxist- Humanist Organization, United Iranian Left, former member of Printers Union of Tehran
Dan Piper – Workers Voice, CT Civil Liberties Coalition
Meg C – Speak Out Socialists
