Solidarity Statement With Those Opposing the American Renaissance Conference
The James Connolly Upstate New York General Membership Branch of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), in our monthly meeting on November 6, 2022, voted to endorse this expression of solidarity in the fight against fascism.
Fascism co-opts the language of class struggle to reinforce racial hierarchy and divide the working class. Thus, the ideologies promoted by “race scientists” is in direct conflict with the struggle of solidarity unionism and the working class as a whole. Dividing the working class reinforces capitalism and helps maintain the suppression of all working people.
We call on you to oppose the American Renaissance Conference and for Montgomery Bell State Park to stop providing a venue for this group. White supremacist and fascist groups are often enlisted to break strikes and suppress labor. They do the bidding of the bosses, not working people. Denounce this event openly.
