We'll be at the Pittsburgh Flea this Sunday

ISO Pittsburgh will be at the Pittsburgh Flea this Sunday, October 10, from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The Flea is a Pittsburgh standby, with vendors from all over the region selling a variety of wares, and this will be our first time there. We will be selling used books donated by branch members. The proceeds of the day's sales will go toward hosting more events with guest speakers this fall.

This will be the first time ISO Pittsburgh sets up at the Flea, and since Sunday's forecast is looking sunny with a high of 75º, you have to come out and take a look!

The Flea takes place at 21st Street and Railroad Street, behind the Society for Contemporary Crafts building. Check out Pittsburgh Flea's website for more information and photos from past events.

Who We Are

We are the Pittsburgh branch of the International Socialist Organization. Our members are involved in helping to build a number of struggles: the movement to stop American wars abroad, fights against racism and anti-immigrant scapegoating, the struggle for women's rights like the right to choose abortion, opposing anti-gay bigotry, pushing for environmental justice, and standing up for workers' rights. We are committed to building a left alternative to a world of war, racism and poverty.

Read our "Where We Stand" pamphlet for more information.

Why Socialism?

The misery that millions of people around the world face is rooted in the society we live in--capitalism, where the few who rule profit from the labor of the vast majority of the population.

In the U.S., a tiny proportion of the population enjoys fantastic wealth, while millions of people live in desperate poverty, and many more live paycheck to paycheck. Yet we have the resources to feed, clothe and educate everyone on the planet.

A world free of exploitation--socialism--is not only possible but worth fighting for. The ISO stands in the tradition of revolutionary socialists Karl Marx, V.I. Lenin and Leon Trotsky in the belief that workers themselves--the vast majority of the population--are the only force that can lead the fight to win a socialist society. Socialism can't be brought about from above, but has to be won by workers themselves.
