About the Event
The 2024 elections have exposed an unprecedented political and social crisis in the United States. Trump and the Republicans are waging a fascist campaign rooted in anti-immigrant xenophobia and threats of violence against all left-wing opposition, while plotting a coup should they lose the election. The Biden administration and the Democratic Party are diverting all social spending to their policy of global war, including the genocide in Gaza and the US-NATO war against Russia, which Harris pledges to continue should she win.
Regardless of what happens on Election Day, the crisis will only intensify. The American and international working class stand on the brink of a political earthquake, with global war and the class struggle poised to explode in the period ahead.
On November 3, Joseph Kishore and Jerry White—the Socialist Equality Party’s presidential and vice presidential candidates in the US elections—will discuss these issues with SEP National Chairman David North and an international panel of speakers. They will advance a socialist anti-war program to guide the working class in the struggles that lie ahead.
David North is the national chairman of the Socialist Equality Party and chairman of the World Socialist Web Site International Editorial Board. He has been active in the Trotskyist movement for over 50 years.
Joseph Kishore is the Socialist Equality Party (US) presidential candidate in the 2024 US elections. He has been national secretary of the SEP since 2008 and has played a central role in the development of its political program and the building of the SEP.
Jerry White is the Socialist Equality Party (US) vice presidential candidate in the 2024 US elections. He is the Labor Editor of the World Socialist Web Site and has been a member of the Trotskyist movement since 1979.
