International Working Women’s Day (IWWD)
To commemorate International Working Women’s Day, revolutionary workers, community members, and youth in the United States organized actions and events to mobilize the masses around working women’s political and economic demands. Revolutionaries-in-formation marched in the streets and neighborhoods, held teach-ins and cultural events, and honored the heroes of the international revolutionary women’s movement. They tied these actions back to the particular demands of working and nationally oppressed women, as well as the LGBT masses, never separating their struggles from the class struggle of the multinational working-class as a whole against the US capitalist system.
Workers, youth, and allied community members, organized by revolutionary mass organizations like the People’s Defense Committee, New Labor Organizing Committee, and Revolutionary Student Union, mobilized under the banner of slogans like “Forge A Revolutionary Women’s Movement!” and “Unleash the Fury of Women as a Mighty Force for Revolution!” They distributed copies of the new revolutionary women’s magazine La Obrera and other literature, raised struggle against local abusers and misogynists in their area, and agitated around organized forms of struggle, like women’s grievance committees or departments in sectoral labor, student and neighborhood mass organizations.

Striking Workers Win Demands
Organizers with NLOC and RSU helped direct a strike at a local coffee shop in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Workers at Moka&Co coffee shop were systematically denied tip payments for months on end. Workers delivered a demand later early in March, but were met with continued lies from management regarding what was owed. On March 11, workers went on strike with the explicit demands of tip payouts, transparent tip payments going forward, and more. Management refused to meet the demands.
On March 15, workers and allies organized a sit-in of the cafe, packing every single seat while workers negotiated with management over renewed demands. These demands included payout of several months of unpaid tips totaling in the thousands, payout for each worker for damages, and more. Through the effort of workers and allies, management was forced to accept all demands except for one, which was the demand for payment for damages.
Anti-Imperialist Solidarity Actions for India and Iran
In the month of March, revolutionary workers and youth organized demonstrations, teach-ins, lightning rallies, and other actions as part of major anti-imperialist campaigns. Many of the actions were organized in response to the Forum Against Corporatization and Militarization’s (FACAM), an Indian coalition of progressive and democratic mass organization, call for a day of international solidarity with the Indian Revolution on March 28.
The day, a part of the anti-imperialist week that took place in the last week of March, serves as a powerful response against Indian Union home minister Amit Shah’s boastful claim to render the country “Naxal-free” by March 31, 2026. For the past year, the Old Indian State has worked toward this goal, utilizing genocidal tactics such as extrajudicial executions, fake surrenders, and relocation of peasant and indigenous masses. The Indian Communists have demonstrated that the revolution will continue until the semi-feudal, semi-colonial reality of the country is resolved through the only possible path of a new-democratic revolution for genuine freedom and democracy.

In addition to the March 28 actions, throughout the month of March comrades across the country conducted actions in solidarity with the Iranian people’s war of resistance against US imperialist aggression. Mobilizing the masses against the barbaric war with Iran, exposing international imperialism’s manipulations and schemes, and demonstrating our solidarity with the Iranian people is an important task for revolutionaries and progressives in the US, especially given the current uncertain and contradictory ceasefire.
