Introduction to the Workers Defense Alliance

August 25, 2020
Body paragraph

The Workers Defense Alliance is a revolutionary network of working class people and autonomous councils. We organize on the job and in the streets to practice militant rank and file labor struggle and community self defense. Our roots are in the Twin Cities GDC and historical union defense guards, the labor movement, Anti-Racist Action, and various mutual aid and survival programs.

The Alliance is an abolitionist, anti-capitalist, anti-authoritarian, and anti-prison organization. We are committed to building and maintaining autonomous worker and tenant councils, defense bodies, and mutual aid projects. Our network fights against racism, sexism, queerphobia, and ableism in order to recognize that an injury to one is an injury to all. From this, we see that the liberation of each is bound up in the liberation of all.

We set out to unmake this nightmare world we’re inheriting, and make a new one in the ashes of the old.
