Nick Cruse from Revolutionary Blackout Network: Ending the War on Gaza and Building a New Party

As the antiwar protest movement continues to organize on campuses, even with many students now going home for the summer, Biden continues to tank in the polls due to his backing of the genocidal war on Gaza and the cost-of-living crisis that has been burying working people in the US. The question for young people, working-class people, and the antiwar movement is: what should we do in this election given the terrible options on offer from the two capitalist parties, Joe Biden and Donald Trump? And how do we use this election to build the strongest possible movement to end the war on Gaza? On Strike’s Kshama Sawant and Emily McArthur speak with Nick Cruse, a citizen journalist, writer, activist, and the main co-founder of the Revolutionary Blackout Network (RBN), which has covered the war on Gaza since it began. We discuss the ongoing student protests, including the strikes by UAW academic workers at the University of California, the need to build for mass protests at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago this August, the independent anti-war presidential campaign of Jill Stein, and the urgent need for a new party for working people.
