Jerome White to Speak in Champaign, Illinois
Jerome White, the Socialist Equality Party candidate for US president in the 2012 elections, will hold a press conference near the main entrance of the Champaign public library at 6pm Tuesday, February 28. White will issue a statement supporting a socialist program and urging broader community mobilization.
White has written extensively on workers struggles, most recently on the Cooper Tire lock-out in Ohio, and has interviewed many workers as a reporter for the World Socialist Web Site. (See http://bit.ly/A7zKeI).
White announced his candidacy for president as a member of the SEP last Monday. His campaign calls for a political movement of the working class in opposition to both Democrats and Republicans. The SEP also advocates rank-and-file committees independent of the trade unions, including the AFL-CIO, Illinois Federation of Public Employees, the USW, UAW, SEIU and UNITE HERE.
After issuing a statement, White will take questions from the media. A map of the approximate location of the press conference can be found here: http://bit.ly/wKqDiD
