Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism

Description

ABOUT US

We are people of all races and national backgrounds who are committed to the struggle for democracy and socialism. Our name is taken from the history of the U.S. revolutionary war against British colonialism. In the 1770s, Committees of Correspondence were formed in all 13 colonies and became the catalyst for united action against British oppression. We, too, seek united action among all who feel the brunt of oppression in the U.S. And we believe that our Committees of Correspondence will, as before, be a catalyst for change. Our members are activists in all the social movements of our country - of labor, civil rights, immigrant rights, women, peace, international solidarity, gay and lesbian rights, environment, youth and students, seniors, and religion. We have come together to help shape a clear cut alternative to the destructive, mean-spirited corporate drive for profit above all else. We seek constructive solutions to the problems of poverty and unemployment, racism, sexism, health, education, and housing.

VISION STATEMENT

The Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism (CCDS) struggles toward a vision of unity and solidarity among all people. We struggle for a world of just, humane laws, based upon unqualified respect for the rights and dignity of every human being. Multiracial unity is at the center of our vision and our struggle, free of every form of discrimination. "Our vision is one in which everyone is entitled to work at a living wage, and has full access to education, health care, and housing. We believe that economic resources should be used for the benefit of the many rather than for the profit of the few. To achieve this vision the means of producing wealth -- the factories, the land, and the banks -- must be controlled by the people, through a broad democracy in political and cultural life.
