Cincinnati Socialists and the people of Cincinnati stand in solidarity with the Black and immigrant populations in our city. We condemn Mayor Aftab Pureval for his unwillingness to stand up for immigrants of Cincinnati, despite the city’s status as a sanctuary city. We condemn his lack of seriousness in dealing with the local effects of the national upsurge in fascist bigotry, and we support the brave residents of Lincoln Heights.

Condemning Cincinnati Officials in the Face of Immigration Raids

The 2024 US presidential election highlights the limits of electoral politics under capitalism.

Voting alone won’t save us; the fight against authoritarianism and exploitation doesn’t stop if we beat Trump in November. We can’t rely solely on electoral politics every 2-4 years to bring about the change we need. Change comes through mass action, political education, and general organization. In order to know what your community needs, you have to go out and be part of your community.
