Cannon was an extraordinary class struggle fighter and founder of the U.S. Trotskyist movement. This meeting will feature a tribute and include edited audio-visual highlights from a 2009 May Day speech by historian, Bryan Palmer. Palmer’s biography, James P. Cannon and the Origins of the American Revolutionary Left, 1890 – 1928, vividly depicts this inspiring, plain-spoken radical who devoted his life to creating a better world.

Dinner will be served at 6:30 pm for a $7 donation. The meeting will take place at Solidarity Salon, 580 Sydney Road, Brunswick. Easily accessible by public transport: take the Upfield train to Anstey Station or Tram 19 to Stewart Street. There’s also plenty of parking off Staley Street at the rear.

Everyone is welcome! For more information, phone 03-9388-0062 or email freedom.socialist.party@ozemail.com.au
