John Thompson Parker
John Parker is a long-time socialist, activist, anti-war and anti-racist organizer. He is the founder of the Harriet Tubman Center for Social Justice, and a leader in the Socialist Unity Party. He is running for U.S. Congress in the 37th District that incorporates much of South Los Angeles, and will be on the ballot as a Peace and Freedom Party candidate. Parker isn't asking for reforms.
He is clear and unequivocal: "What we need is a whole new system. Racism, war, poverty and the destruction of the planet are built in to capitalism. We need a powerful, united people's movement to overcome the tiny handful of billionaires that are exploiting us all, funding and enabling genocide in Gaza, and driving down the living standards of the global working-class."
Left Unity Slate
Something unique is happening in California. In an effort to forge a collaborative approach to genuine progressive electoral politics, a slate of seven candidates for Congress and Assembly has announced itself as the Left Unity Slate. Five are members of the Peace and Freedom Party, and two are members of the Green Party. This is the second election this cooperative orientation has been utilized.
