The Socialist Equality Party campaign of Jerry White for president and Niles Niemuth for vice president is beginning its final series of meetings on the theme of “War and the 2016 US elections.” Meeting information is below, and a full and updated list is available at sep2016.com/events .
White will be giving meetings in Canada this week, followed by a tour through the US West Coast, culminating in a meeting on October 29 in Berkeley, California. Niemuth will be speaking at a series of meetings in upstate New York, Michigan and Illinois. The SEP will also be holding local meetings in other areas of the country.
The election campaign will conclude with the one-day conference in Detroit Michigan on November 5, Socialism vs. Capitalism and War .
The contest between Clinton and Trump has brought the degraded state of US politics to new lows. As the two candidates trade insults and scandal-mongering, government and military officials are implementing a vast military escalation that threatens the lives of millions, if not billions of people.
Regardless of who is elected in November, the working class and youth in the US and around the world face immense dangers. The greatest danger is the gulf that exists between the advanced state of war plans and the general level of popular consciousness. Everything must be done to alert workers and young people to what is being planned and to build a political leadership to oppose war and the capitalist system that produces it.
We urge all our readers to make plans to attend an election meeting in your area. Sign up for our email newsletter to receive the latest updates at sep2016.com .
