WE MEET WEEKLY AT 2:00 PM on Zoom Each Friday
Join us for our weekly general meeting on Zoom for a lively discussion of socialism and our Chapter's goals for this year. We're fighting to cancel student debt, make WOU's financial decisions more democratic and equitable to the Monmouth student body, and win universal higher education for everyone, everywhere.
If your life would be better without crippling student debt, if you'd like to see the WOU administration invest money into students in Monmouth—not buildings in Salem or bloated administrative salaries—and win College for All, you're on the right website.
Join us at our next meeting.
"There has not been a better time to be a socialist in the United States in the last century. There hasn't been a more urgent time to join the socialist movement, either. So join us."

change has never been won without a fight
change has never been won without a fight
Voting rights, civil rights, marriage equality, labor protections; none of it was won without mass movements fighting like hell for change. The civil rights movement wasn't passive. The Stonewall Riots weren't passive. Benevolent leaders don't hand down progress, we force it. Your future won't get better unless you fight for it, and we exist to get students engaged in that fight. Political organizing is hard work, but together we will build skills to better our lives, create lasting friendships build on mutual respect and solidarity, and ultimately build a better future. We will win.
"We can't just elect our way to a better world. We have to build a bottom-up movement that can change the conditions in which elected officials make decisions, and force policies that benefit the vast majority of people and the planet."
