"These stem from unions’ fundamental contradiction: they are necessary but insufficient vehicles for workers to achieve their goals. This is further complicated by the tightrope that unions must walk between militancy and bureaucracy. If self-preservation led unions to prioritize maintaining their bureaucratic organizations in recent decades, the escalating state and employer offensive has made that response increasingly untenable. Renewed militancy is key to labor’s future"

"Our goals for this strike solidarity kit are two-fold:

Provide other DSA chapters and SV DSA’s Labor Working Group with a ‘playbook’ of tactics and strategies to employ in future strike solidarity efforts. We hope that you’ll be able to use the best practices in this document and adapt ideas found here to suit your chapters’ strengths, and the needs of the picket lines you’re supporting.

Provide a retrospective of what we at Silicon Valley DSA did in support of the workers on strike at the San José Marriott, to discuss what worked, and to be honest about what we could improve in the future."

"Africa has produced much greatness; let it never be said that the continent is lacking in greatness. If truth be told, Africa’s great people of character and principle have often been silenced by forces of greed, exploitation and selfishness. Africa must then learn to build strong and enduring systems for the protection of virtue, the promotion of character and the vilification of vice. Africa would have been better than what it is today, if Thomas Noel Isidore Sankara were alive as an elder statesman to celebrate his 70th birthday anniversary."
