Dear Colleagues and Friends,

On behalf of the International League of Peoples’ Struggle (ILPS), I wish to convey to you warmest greetings of solidarity as we enter a New Year of popular struggle for democracy against imperialism and all reaction.

We must renew and heighten our resolve to fight for national and social liberation amidst the worsening of the protracted crisis of the world capitalist system.  We must expose and attack the roots of  crisis and war.  We must struggle against the system of exploitation and oppression and seek to end the suffering of the people through their own mass movement.

This year the ILPS will celebrate the 10th anniversary of its founding. In this connection, we shall hold the Fourth International Assembly of the ILPS in Manila from July 7 to 9, 2011.  The theme of the assembly is: Build a Bright Future! Mobilize the People to Resist Exploitation and Oppression Amidst the Protracted Global Depression, State Terrorism and Wars of Aggression!

We urge you to participate in the assembly. You shall have ample opportunities to present your concerns and issues, to network with various organizations on a global scale and to make agreements of cooperation and common campaigns.  For further information, please contact us by email: [email protected] and/or [email protected]

Happy New Year and Best Wishes!!!

Yours in solidarity,

Prof. Jose Maria Sison
