I am a member of Office Professional Employees International union local 12 in Minneapolis, MN. I'm also an activist with Socialist Alternative(socialistalternative.org) and the Committee for a Workers' International(www.socialistworld.net). I've been active in the antiwar, labor solidarity and socialist movement for the last 4 or 5 years.

At the same time as I'm horrified by all the disasters in the world created by this profit driven system - whether its wars, economic crises and environmental catastrophy - I'm at the same time confident that working people and youth around the world will face up to the challenge to fight back against corporate and big business rule - for a world that belongs to working people and the poor, who are the vast majority on planet earth.

in solidarity,

Teddy Shibabaw
