Ōriwa Tahupōtiki Haddon (Ngāti Ruanui), Reconstruction of the Signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, c. 1940. Dear friends, Greetings from the desk of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research.

On 6 February 1840, Te Tiriti o Waitangi (the Treaty of Waitangi) was signed by representatives of the British Crown and the Māori g...

Here's some projects we are working on: $2,000 with fund expenses for a Worker's Voice volunteer organizer to travel to cities across the country where we are currently developing new branches. $1,500 would help cover travel and honoraria expenses for building our East Coast "The Solution is Socialism" conference in the spring of 2025. $1,000 could help cover the cost of venues for our winter revolutionary day schools on the West and East Coast. $750 would allow us to publish a new bilingual pamphlet on black liberation. $500 will help send a comrade to cover labor struggles and new organizing efforts like that in the Auto Workers Union in the south.  A contribution of any size will be put to good use and deeply appreciated.
