Over the past week, demonstrations by openly white supremacist, fascist forces have been held across the U.S. demanding an end to COVID-19 quarantine measures, and that workers be sent back to work immediately.

How can working and oppressed people respond to these reactionary demonstrations, advocate for policies that would result in mass death and suffering in the name of ruling class profits? Join Workers World members and allies this Thursday as we discuss a working class response to rising fascism, and the need for solidarity and organization in these challenging times.
