Fighting for a living
wage at Camden Yards
showed me what an
organized working class
can achieve. I realized
that oppression can only
end at the hands of the
oppressed. 
I realized that, for
society to change,
we must take part in
planting the seeds.
It's one thing to gain
consciousness of
injustices, but the most
important step is to join
the movement for revolutionary change. 
As I got older, I began to see first hand the injustices and the lack of
equality that were taught to me as a child. I realized, long before I
became active in the movement, that it was important to unite the people
against the very system that oppresses them. 
I fight for people like my parents, who were forced to come here from El Salvador to escape a brutal civil war that the U.S. government had provoked. Once here, they soon realized that the "American Dream" that so many people had spoken about did not apply to them. 
I grew up in Calexico,
a small border town
in the desert Valley of
Imperial County. I was
told the society we lived
in provided liberty for
all, that it was the land
of the American Dream
that so many of my brothers and sisters would risk their whole existence for. But I saw the racism and injustice with my own eyes and had to fight it. 
For a long period of
time I knew I wanted
to be a part of something
that united the people,
an organization that
fights for civil rights
and fights against the
injustices of racism,
inequality, sexism, and war.
I was tired of being unemployed due to the economy, tired of seeing my mother struggle on a weekly basis because of her paycheck, and most of all tired of seeing my family live in fear of being deported. 
As one who arose from the national liberation struggles in southern Africa I know full well the significance of emancipatory social movements. PSL not only points out the contradictions that permeate society; it truly organizes, agitates and endeavors to take the stand for the revolutionary building and advancement of socialism. 
I walked five months on
crutches, on an artificial
hip that was out of the
socket, because a health
insurance company
wanted to maximize
prof its. I grew sick of
living in a system that's
fabulously wealthy but so contemptuous of
human life that most people are left to fend for
themselves if they get sick, lose their job, or try to
help a loved one in need. 
I learned about the PSL
through the important
role that it plays in the
ANSWER Coalition and
organizing mass anti-war
mobilizations.
After many years of
working in the antiwar
movement and for
Native American causes,
I realized the only way
to change things was
to change the capitalist
system under which we
live. Searching for the
right group to accomplish this led me to the PSL,
the most dedicated and disciplined people I have
ever met. 
As a teacher, I realized
that whatever
positive work I did as an
individual would never
be enough to create the
future that I want for my
students. I realized that
if I was serious about
change, then I had to be part an organization, and
if I was serious about my students' futures, then it
would have to be a revolutionary organization. 
I joined the PSL while I was still living in a shelter because I got tired of oppression, tired of the feeling that I could not change things, and I swore that I would never go back to that.
I joined the PSL because the things I fight for, the PSL fights for too. Every member of the PSL is commited to fight until the defeat of capitalism and the spring of a socialist society. 
As an organizer in the anti-war and LGBT liberation movements, I knew that all of our struggles were connected, and that the only way to truly win was to f ight for a more rational and just system, to fight for socialism. That's why I joined the PSL. To be part of a revolutionary party that has a working class analysis of the struggles ahead, and a program of united action for revolutionary change.
