Workers World Party

And this was actually something I saw for the first time in 2003 when I was a young college, uh, reporter for my college newspaper and was doing some work on a couple of the movements behind the anti-war movement in Iraq.

Um, and there was this movement that was rising called International Answer, Act Now to Stop War and End Racism, and they were a front group for the Workers World Party, which was associated with North Korea.

But one of the things that I didn't take as much note of at the time, although in hindsight it looms large, was as they were holding their anti-war protests, they disinvited a rabbi named Michael Lerner, uh, who was disinvited from these early war protests because he was a Jewish rabbi and because he supported Israel's right to exist.

Um, and so this was not a new phenomenon.

When Feinberg died, the New York Times obituary described Stone Butch Blues as a landmark in the contemporary literature of gender complexity.

Feinberg was a long-standing member of the Workers World Party, a revolutionary Marxist-Leninist political party in the US, and wrote for its newspaper for many years.

As part of the party, ze/she helped organize multiple anti-racist rallies against the KKK and white supremacists, as well as taking part in community work against anti-abortion groups.

We need Leslie Feinberg right here, right now.
