now publish the PartyBuilder weekly. Our aim is to consolidate the communications you get from the national office into one weekly format, and to keep our focus on the activity and work of the clubs. The party-builder will not add to your “to do” list – rather, it aims to keep you up to date on our political focus -- the elections – and provide food for thought with articles on the experience, what works and what doesn’t, of the Party organization, especially the clubs.

meeting March 29-30 The National Committee will meet next week at the Unity Center in NYC (check out this video tour of the Communist Party USA's new national office) The first day will be devoted to a discussion of the election struggle. On Sunday, there will be a report and discussion on the environmental crisis. The report, prepared by Marc Brodine and other environmental activists, is a major step for the Party, towards engaging on this critical question. Over the next year, clubs will be encouraged to hold educational discussions on the issue – stay tuned. There will also be short reports on Party and press building, our internet work, and finances. We will be filming this NC meeting and posting clips from it on the Party's website.
