U.S. to Palestine: The Unity of Class Struggle in the Fight for our Collective Humanity & Survival
U.S. to Palestine
The Unity of Class Struggle in the Fight for our Collective Humanity & Survival
Presented – February 11th.
The League presents U.S. to Palestine: The Unity of Class Struggle in the Fight for our Collective Humanity & Survival a zoom event on Sunday, February 11th at 1pm PST // 3pm CT // 4pm ET. This is a conversation with and for revolutionaries. Our framing questions for the event are:
- How is the attack of basic rights, and denial of humanity in Palestine connected to the denial of basic needs in favor of war in the U.S.? What is the role of revolutionaries in this process?
- What is the reality on the ground in Palestine? Why should workers in the U.S care? How do we build the movement among workers around the world?
The League of Revolutionaries for a New America joins other revolutionaries who challenge the ruling class on the immorality of its ruthless devastation of the earth + life. We are a multiracial + multigenerational + multigender working-class organization dedicated to revolutionary education + struggle. We trace injustice to the capitalist system and seek to show how society’s problems can be solved when it is reorganized along cooperative lines. Society must be reorganized so that the abundance made possible by science + technology benefits all — a society that puts humanity + nature above profits.

A native of Los Angeles, Rabbi Brant was ordained by the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College in 1992 and served congregations in Los Angeles and Denver before coming to the Chicago area in 1998 to serve as Rabbi of the Jewish Reconstructionist Congregation (JRC).
As a prominent Jewish presence in the Palestine solidarity movement, he co-founded the Jewish Voice for Peace Rabbinical Council and Ta’anit Tzedek – Jewish Fast for Gaza, and was a founder of the Tzedek Chicago congregation, of which he became full-time rabbi in 2019.
Rabbi Brant’s writings have appeared in many journals and publications, including Newsweek, the Chicago Tribune, the Jewish Forward, Tikkun and Truthout. He is also the author of the popular Jewish social justice blog, Shalom Rav; his curated collection of blog posts and reader comments, Wrestling in the Daylight: A Rabbi’s Path to Palestinian Solidarity was published by Just World Books in 2012 (updated in 2017).
