Once again, all eyes are on Delaney Hall detention center in Newark, where detainees and their allies are united in protest against squalid conditions, brutal mistreatment, and lack of democratic oversight. Like many of this administration’s policies, however, the dehumanization and torture of people in state custody is nothing new — nor is the use of violence against protesters. ICE terror tactics were developed in police departments and prisons — some state-run, others operated for profit by the same corporations now cashing in on the mass deportation agenda.
Can the broad resistance to ICE connect with ongoing struggles for prison abolition and community control of police? And can capitalism survive without its apparatus of racist state terror? Join us for a discussion of state violence, abolition-democracy, and working-class self-determination.

The Communist Party USA is a revolutionary working-class political party founded in 1919 in Chicago, IL.
The Communist Party stands for the interests of the American working class and the American people. It stands for our interests in both the present and the future. Solidarity with workers of other countries is also part of our work. We work in coalition with the labor movement, the peace movement, the student movement, organizations fighting for equality and social justice, the environmental movement, immigrants rights groups and the health care for all campaign.
But to win a better life for working families, we believe that we must go further. We believe that the American people can replace capitalism with a system that puts people before profit — socialism.
We are rooted in our country's revolutionary history and its struggles for democracy. We call for "Bill of Rights" socialism, guaranteeing full individual freedoms.
