The antiwar movement has gained renewed momentum, with dozens of university campuses across the nation seeing mass encampments and protests against the Israeli state’s genocidal war on Gaza.
Reports indicate that arrests of students had exceeded an estimated 1,800 as of May 2nd, with hundreds facing criminal charges as well as suspension and even expulsion. Some campuses have been subjected to particularly brutal police repression.
One of the people arrested at the campus protests was JILL STEIN, who along with Cornel West is one of the two left antiwar Presidential candidates running this election year.
This episode is a special conversation with Jill Stein about the antiwar movement and what it will take to end the war on Gaza. On Strike will also be bringing you a sit-down interview with Jill Stein, in which we will talk more about her campaign.
Jill Stein's support of the antiwar movement is obviously a SHARP contrast to President Biden, the warmonger-in-Chief.
Those of us who oppose the war on Gaza and who oppose Biden’s attacks on working people should absolutely NOT vote for Biden in November.
Supporting Democratic candidates as the supposed lesser evil with the idea that it will stop the rise of the right wing is both a failed, and completely counterproductive, strategy.
Working people and the antiwar movement also absolutely cannot have illusions in Trump or RFK Junior.
Working people and young people need to support and build for the largest possible vote for the antiwar campaigns of Jill Stein and Cornel West this November, as a step towards building a new antiwar party for the working class.
