Discussion on Strategy and Tactics
For now all of us should bear in mind the following: our party has always adjusted its concepts of struggle - strategic and tactical - to the shifting contours of political and economic developments. We in this room are not pioneers in this sense.
We mourn our dead - We stand for peace
The terrorist attack on Sept. 11 has shaken all of us. Few things will be the same. A sea change has occurred in our nation's life.
Child Poverty
As Communists, we are charged with building unity of the whole working class. In the aftermath of welfare reform and with continued corporate downsizing, poverty is deep in times of plenty. Wages are stagnant despite record economic expansion. This is a challenge to the labor and people's movements and to ourselves.
Northern California Elections Report
Joining with Los Angeles and other Southern California areas, the greater Bay Area counties, where the population is concentrated in Northern California and the labor movement is strongest, helped give Gore a big win in the state.

Many children in poverty live in single parent, female head-of-household families. In our state most of the 35,000 put off welfare now have an even more difficult economic and family situation.

The impact of the Bush administration policies plus new cuts in the safety net in Connecticut are leaving many families stranded.
