------------------------- Via Workers World News Service Reprinted from the May 17, 2001 issue of Workers World newspaper ------------------------- CONFERENCE ON SOCIALISM: IMPORTANT NOTICE FROM WWP By Deirdre Griswold Because of the national mobilization against racist police terror to take place in Cincinnati on June 2, Workers World Party is postponing the Conference on Socialism it had scheduled for that date in New York City. The conference will take place this fall at a time and place to be announced. The National Secretariat of WWP said in a statement that it applauded the anti-racist initiative and was calling on its members and friends to help build for the event. "This conflict of dates is a real test of our commitment," said the Secretariat statement. "Of course, our Party places a high priority on ideological training and development. There can be no revolution without revolutionary theory and a revolutionary party. "But theory and practice must march hand in hand. The developing movement of young people that is searching for a better world will be in the streets of Cincinnati with members of the African American community outraged at a brutal string of police killings. This is an important moment in the ongoing building of a broad, progressive movement against capitalist exploitation and injustice that unites the struggles against all forms of oppression. "We invite everyone to join us in the fall conference, when we can enrich the discussion of the basics of scientific socialism with the experiences gained in the streets over what may well be a long, hot summer." - END - (Copyright Workers World Service: Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this document, but changing it is not allowed.
