FRSO Freedom School
25 student and anti-war activists from Milwaukee, Madison, Chicago and Minneapolis attended the Freedom School, a one-day study hosted by the Freedom Road Socialist Organization/FightBack!, July 2010.
The study was broken up into four sessions: U.S. Imperialism and Our Movement Against War and Occupation in Iraq and Afghanistan; Immigrant Rights and the Struggle for Chicano Liberation; Theory and Practice: the Mass Line; and The Need for Revolution: Why You Should Join the FRSO.
Tracy Molm, an organizer with University of Minnesota Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), said the study was good at deepening an analysis on imperialism.
"The study stressed that imperialism is not a foreign policy, but rather a period that exists when advanced capitalist economies driven by monopolies divide up the entire world in seeking more profit. We talked about how we’re working to replace imperialism with a system that fosters peace and justice,” she commented.
The study on immigrant rights and Chicano liberation was co-chaired by student organizer Chance Zombor. Zombor presented FRSO’s views on the immigrant rights movement, and noted “The study was particularly helpful to the student organizers of Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlán and Students for a Democratic Society who have been organizing against Arizona’s SB1070 and wanted greater understanding of how the fight for immigrant rights is part of the revolutionary struggle to liberate the Chicano nation from imperialism.”[1]

Speak Out Against Racism!
By Chance Zombor October 27, 2010, Waukesha, WI – Waukesha Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), along with other student groups, held a Speak Out Against Racism! demonstration in response to a recent rise of white supremacist graffiti on the University of Wisconsin-Waukesha campus. The graffiti included swastikas and the initials “KKK.” The graffiti had previously been addressed by the university administration only with a mass email warning of a possible “written reprimand, loss of a privilege, or community service” for the perpetrator.
With around 100 in attendance, Dr. Margaret Rozga spoke first, sharing her personal experience of having fought in the civil rights struggle of the 1960s. She encouraged students of this generation to continue the struggle against racism. Chance Zombor and Missy Gaido of SDS spoke out saying, “I would argue that the symbolism of writing KKK on anti-racism fliers is more than just racist. It is a threat of violence. When I think of the KKK, I think of death! The public murder of innocent people.”
Jessica Bemi, an organizer with the Pride Alliance said, “She likened those of us in the queer community to animals and inanimate objects by suggesting that if gay marriage were legalized, people might start marrying dogs or tables. Our campus community put out a strong response.” She added, “We in the LGBTQ community and our allies are devoted to equal rights for all people.”[3]
