Springfield, OH, October 14 - "This was great! I'm ready to come back.” “I'm glad you invited me, and I'm ready to meet whenever you set it up. Just let me know and I will be there." That’s how two Black workers from Detroit responded after making the trip to Springfield with Progressive Labor Party (PLP) today. A carload of us went to Springfield to meet with workers and protest the racist attacks against workers from Haiti by Donald Trump and JD Vance. We met some friends from Columbus at a Haitian restaurant in a multiracial working-class area. White workers told us they were coming to the restaurant to support the community and enjoy a good Haitian meal. We distributed Challenge newspapers, and workers eagerly took our fliers home, even though some only read Creole. We had many good discussions with Black and white workers about racism and communism. Notably, many white workers denounced Trump and Vance for their racist garbage. The immigrants from Haiti are in Springfield legally and have integrated into the community and built their lives here. They contribute to the local economy after 35 years of the auto and steel bosses moving factories overseas. Workers from Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, and many industrial cities in the Midwest are suffering as the capitalists prioritize cheaper labor and maximum profits over workers’ lives. – https://www.plp.org/challenge/challenge-13-november-2024/download
