AMID rampant corporate greed, rising inequality, and the erosion of democratic rights, the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) continues to uphold its century-long mission of fighting for the working class.
With its recently launched rapid response project, the party is mobilising members and allies, as part of the broader resistance movement, to confront the Trump administration and its billionaire backers.
