Educating To Empower Working People
SOCIALISTS C.A.N. MISSION STATEMENT
Socialists Connection Action Network, Socialists C.A.N., is an organized group of networking individuals and radical groups committed to the transformation of capitalism to a democratic socialist society; a society where human needs are met, over the desires to protect corporate profits; we oppose a capitalist economy that thrives on war, aggression and global imperialism.
As socialists, we do not expect to exist on handouts; however, we believe we should exist in a society that is based upon compassion, respect and a society where individuals will benefit from the fruits of their labor.
By joining together, we are committed to build a socialist movement, to take responsibility of our neighborhoods and government, and to take control of our industries and national resources for the common good of all.
