Republicans in Congress, with the support of President Trump, are working to “repeal and replace” the Affordable Care Act (ACA) with their American Health Care Act (AHCA). Their plan is devastating: 24 million Americans would lose their health insurance, allowing discrimination based on pre-existing conditions, and punishing people who can’t maintain continuous coverage.

Thursday, May 25, 7-8:30pm, St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, 30 W. Woodruff Ave.
The demonstrations against Milo Yiannopolis’s planned speech in Berkeley, and subsequent efforts to shut down the Right, have renewed debate on the role of free speech within the Left and society more broadly. In light of these debates, how should the Left understand free speech, and the relationship between speech and power? What has the role of socialists been in struggles for free speech?

Saturday, May 20, 9:30am-3:30pm, Columbus Mennonite Church, 35 Oakland Park Ave.
Why should workers organize? How can we build a diverse and inclusive economic justice movement? How does international trade policy hurt workers in Ohio? What is the Central Ohio Worker Center doing to address worker rights here in Columbus?
Workers of all industries and identities are under attack like never before — but we can build collective power through workplace organizing.
