As the article Solidarity Convenes National Convention reported, Solidarity convened its National Convention online during the weekend of August 18-20, 2023. The convention formally adopted two resolutions:
The Policing System and Its Replacement
On Anti-imperialism and International Solidarity: From Ukraine to Palestine and Beyond.
Beyond the formal resolutions, the Convention and the pre-convention discussion took up three political questions with orientation pieces, comments, and reports: 1) U.S. politics, 2) Labor, and 3) Imperialism. This article lists and links the some of the main contributions.
