BuxMont Democratic Socialists of America's Statement on No War in Iran

BuxMont DSA strongly condemns the Israeli and U.S. strikes against Iran. This is yet another example of the U.S.-led imperialist actions designed to impose suffering on populations abroad instead of meeting the needs of its people.

The American people do not want another regime change military engagement. They want affordable healthcare, affordable housing, low grocery prices, and easy access to public transportation. BuxMont DSA calls for the immediate end of all military operations against Iran, immediate end of all support for the genocidal state of Israel, and the immediate impeachment of President Donald Trump. It is the right of the people of Iran to decide their own destiny, not for the U.S. to impose a puppet state upon them.

We say we're not going to fight capitalism with black capitalism, but we're going to fight it with socialism. - Fred Hampton

It was the local police. When we refer to the state, we are not referring to state level police, but to the entire state apparatus. All police, local or state level, serve to protect the current social order.

Statement: Quakertown Community High School Walkout

On Friday, February 20th, 35-60 students from Quakertown Community High School (QCHS) walked out in protest of ICE terror in our communities. This free expression of teenagers fighting injustice was met with violence from adult bystanders and the state. The students bravely defended their peers from assault by men on the scene, including Quakertown Chief of Police and Borough Manager Scott McElree, who, in plainclothes, put a teenage girl in a chokehold. Several students remain detained following the incident, a grossly punitive measure against minors defending themselves.

QCHS administrators identified a β€œpotential safety threat” and asked the students not to walk out. Indeed, the actual safety threat was the police. The very agency that purports to protect the rights and safety of our communities has shown itself once again as a force of violent repression against anyone, even children, who challenge the status quo. Our students deserve investments not in agencies of brutality, punishment, and surveillance, but in education, healthcare, housing–in short, their futures.

On the morning of February 4th, we watched in shock as a Norristown Police Officer accelerated their cruiser and struck a person experiencing a mental health crisis, sending them multiple feet into the air. Afterwards, police detained the person instead of administering first aid.

The video is clear; the officer used their vehicle as a weapon against an unarmed and vulnerable community member. We hope for the victim’s full recovery and expect full accountability from the Norristown Police Department. However, nothing will erase the damage to the individual and the damage to public trust.

Police failed to protect residents. Officers did not stop traffic, and they did not attempt to de-escalate the situation. Emergency medical services were not first on the scene when they should have been. When faced with a person in crisis, their only solution was violent force. When asked at a town hall on February 5th, Police Chief Trail did not know the medical status of the victim. The safety of residents is an afterthought.

This incident reflects not only on the entire police department, but on the Norristown Municipal Council as well. We ask Norristown to consider whether the police department should be receiving nearly 40% of the budget when they fail to meet the most basic standards and endanger others.

This violent act serves as a solemn reminder that we have no one to protect us but ourselves. Along with the frequent ICE raids on our neighbors, we see that state violence against vulnerable members of our community is the norm. The system of policing is designed to oppress and occupy our communities, not to protect them.   We stand with the community of Norristown and hope to build a future where our neighbors are not victimized by the people who are sworn to protect them.   Signed,  BuxMont Democratic Socialists of America

BuxMont DSA statement on kidnapping of Venezuelan President

BuxMont DSA statement on kidnapping of Venezuelan President

BuxMont DSA stands firmly against the United States’ latest aggression against the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. We echo calls to cease all military action in the area, release the kidnapped President Nicholas Maduro, and respect the sovereignty of Venezuela.Β 

We urge Senators Fetterman and McCormick to vote for S.J.Res. 100, S.J.Res. 98, and S.3344 to restrain the illegal and imperialist military force perpetrated by Donald Trump and the US military against the people of Venezuela.

We urge Representatives Dean and Fitzpatrick to oppose this flagrant violation of international law to the fullest of their ability, and contain the aggression of the US war machine.

And we urge all of you to stand in the utmost solidarity with the Bolivarian Revolution.

There is a direct link between militarism abroad & disinvestment at home. Did you know the $56 million of people's money our state treasury has in Israeli bonds is enough on average to build 240 units of public housing? (GAO-23-105370)
