An opportunity to build a vast revolutionary movement has arrived. People are writing to us from every kind of town, looking for an organization that can wrest power away from Trump and Wall Street. Trump is a professional liar, and one powerful lie is that he works for the people of rural America. But one look at the reality of rural towns, at the lives of low-wage workers and debt-ridden farmers, disproves this.
The African American Commission of the Freedom Road Socialist Organization condemns the occupation of Washington DC by Trump in his deployment of the National Guard and federal police to DC’s streets. Trump, at the press conference announcing his decision Monday, evoked Section 740 of the DC Home Rule Act, which allows for the federal government to take direct control of the DC Metro Police. Trump in his press conference talked about giving DC police the power to do “whatever the hell they want.”
La Organización Socialista Camino de la Libertad denuncia el más reciente ataque del presidente de EE. UU., Donald Trump, contra el presidente de Venezuela, Nicholas Maduro. Es otro intento escandaloso de EE. UU. por criminalizar a Venezuela y a sus líderes. La fiscal general de EE. UU., Pam Bondi, declaró que EE. UU. ofrecía 50 millones de dólares por información que llevara al arresto del presidente venezolano. ¡Nosotros decimos que el presidente Maduro vale mucho, mucho más!
The Freedom Road Socialist Organization denounces U.S. President Donald Trump’s most recent attack on Venezuela’s President Nicholas Maduro. It is yet another outrageous U.S. attempt to criminalize Venezuela and its leaders. U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi declared the U.S. was offering $50 million for information leading to the arrest of the Venezuelan president. We say President Maduro is worth much, much more!
El 29 de julio, el pueblo logró una gran victoria: ¡los dos cargos federales inventados en contra de Alejandro Orellana, activista de Los Ángeles por los derechos de los inmigrantes, fueron retirados!
La Organización Socialista Camino de la Libertad aclama a todos los que respondieron al llamado nacional para movilizarse en defensa de Alex y a cada persona que lo apoyó. No sólo nos solidarizamos con Los Ángeles en el levantamiento contra las redadas de ICE, sino que mantuvimos firmeza cuando vinieron por los organizadores. Defender a nuestros activistas y camaradas es un logro extraordinario, y cada participante debe sentirse orgulloso.
On July 29, the people achieved a great victory: the two bogus federal charges on Los Angeles immigrant rights activist Alejandro Orellana were dropped!
The Freedom Road Socialist Organization hails everyone who took up the national call to mobilize for Alex's defense and every one of his supporters. Not only did we stand with Los Angeles in the uprising against ICE raids, but we held our ground when they came for the organizers. Defending our activists and comrades is an outstanding achievement, and everyone who took part should be proud.
Fight Back New Service is circulating the following statement from the Legalization for All (L4A) Network.
The Legalization for All (L4A) Network is calling on all affiliated immigrant rights organizations and supporters to mobilize an action in support of Alejandro Orellana on June 27th, or participate in a national call-in day against U.S. Attorney Bilal “Bill” Essayli.
Fight Back News Service is circulating the following statement from National Students for a Democratic Society (SDS).
On June 12, 2025, the FBI raided the home of Alejandro “Alex” Orellana in Los Angeles and arrested him on bogus charges. Alex is a leading member of Centro CSO, a Chicano community organization that opposes deportations and defends immigrant rights. He is being charged with “conspiracy to commit civil disorder” because of his participation in protests against ICE in LA. These charges are politically motivated and could carry a sentence of up to 5 years in prison.
Hace 50 años, en el 30 de abril, las puertas del Palacio Presidencial en Saigón fueron destrozadas por un tanque—un tanque manejado por un luchador por un Vietnam unificado e independiente. La bandera del régimen títere respaldado por Estados Unidos cayó, y en su lugar se alzó la bandera del Frente de Liberación Nacional.
Chicanos, Mexicanos, Centroamericanos y los aliados en todo Los Ángeles están levantándose contra los agentes de los ataques a los inmigrantes de Trump. La gente de LA tiene el derecho a la rebeldía contra ICE y las deportaciones. Hemos sido activos en las calles de LA y nacionalmente en el movimiento para hacer retroceder la agenda de Trump.
Israel’s recent missile strikes on Iran have killed over 200 Iranians in one week. Iran has rightfully defended itself, as any sovereign nation would, and has struck back with precision, raining missiles through Israel’s ‘Iron Colander’.

The memory and contributions of Ka Louie Jalandoni will live forever!
Dear Comrades,
It is with great sadness that we learned of the passing of Ka Louie Jalandoni, an outstanding revolutionary who made great contributions to the struggle to end exploitation and oppression. We extend our condolences to his comrades, family and friends. Ka Louie was known throughout the world for his integrity, commitment and intelligence. He will be missed by many.
Chicanos, Mexicanos, Central Americans and supporters across Los Angeles are rising up against the agents of Trump’s attacks on immigrants. The people of LA have a right to rebel against ICE and deportations. We have been active on the streets of LA and nationally in the movement to beat back Trump’s agenda.
May 14 marks 77 years since Al-Nakba, or as it's known by Palestinians, the Catastrophe. Beginning on May 14, 1948, over 750,000 Palestinians were forced off their land by Israeli settlers in a matter of months, with the indispensable help of the British. No inch of land was ceded without massacres.
Fight Back News Service is circulating the following statement from the Friends of Socialist China U.S. Committee.
On March 14th, Republican U.S. Rep. Riley Moore, along with other Republican co-sponsors, introduced a draconian bill to the House Committee on the Judiciary titled the Stop CCP VISAs Act of 2025, which stands for “Stop Chinese Communist Prying by Vindicating Intellectual Safeguards in Academia Act of 2025.”
50 years ago, on April 30, the gates of the Presidential Palace in Saigon were broken by a tank—a tank driven by a fighter for a unified and independent Vietnam. The flag of the U.S.-backed puppet regime came down, and the flag of the National Liberation Front replaced it.
Saigon, the capital of French colonialism, and then American imperialism, was no more. Saigon became Ho Chi Minh City—named for the communist leader who stood at the forefront of Vietnam’s fight for national liberation.
En el Día Internacional de los Trabajadores 2025, nuestra misión es clara: Defender los derechos de los trabajadores y los inmigrantes. Desde la inauguración de Trump, el pueblo no se ha quedado quieto. Las batallas se han librado en muchos frentes. La gente ha marchado para defender los derechos democráticos, construir el movimiento por los derechos de los inmigrantes, luchar contra la discriminación, resistir los ataques contra la clase trabajadora y oponerse a la guerra genocida en Palestina.
On International Workers Day 2025, our mission is clear: Stand up for workers and immigrants’ rights. Since Trump’s inauguration, the people have not missed a beat. Battles have unfolded on many fronts. The people have marched to defend democratic rights, build the immigrant rights movement, fight discrimination, resist attacks on the working class, and to stand against the genocidal war in Palestine.
On the morning of April 23, the FBI and state and local police in Michigan raided the homes of pro-Palestinian activists in at least three cities: Ypsilanti, Ann Arbor and Canton. These activists, including at least four people in Ypsilanti and at least one graduate student, are reported to have attended or supported protests in support of Palestine and condemning the genocide in Gaza.
Las manifestaciones del 5 de abril en todo el país vieron a cientos de miles de personas salir a las calles. Muchos más se sintieron inspirados por la cantidad de gente dispuesta a alzar la voz ahora mismo contra el gobierno de Trump. En estas marchas había gente común de todos los ámbitos: trabajadores, estudiantes, activistas y familias estaban alzando la voz para exigir un cambio. Va a haber más acciones de este tipo en el futuro. Son una prueba para nosotros. ¿Daremos un paso adelante para unir a todos los que se puedan unir contra Trump y la clase multimillonaria a la que él sirve? Si nos quedamos al margen de esta, perdemos sin pelear.
