Vol. 77/No. 28      July 22, 2013

BY LOUIS MARTIN
“I’m excited about going to the conference. I want to meet with other workers who are politically motivated and learn more about the world,” Glen Gales told the Militant July 10, explaining his decision to participate in the Active Workers Educational Conference organized by the Socialist Workers Party July 19-20 in Oberlin, Ohio. Gales has worked as a Red Cap at Amtrak for 33 years in Washington, D.C.

“A coworker introduced me to the Militant a while back and I’ve been reading it ever since. That’s where I really found out about the Cuban Five,” he said. Gales helped organize local support for the “5 days for the Cuban 5” held in Washington, D.C., May 30-June 5, and attended the June 1 rally for the freedom of the Five in front of the White House. “The Five didn’t get a fair trial. I’m against people being set up and I hate it when people are incarcerated for false reasons.”

The conference will feature talks by SWP leaders, classes and a closing panel on the political work participants will carry out together coming out of the gathering.
