Declaration of the #AmericanCommunistParty
This weekend the Texas chapter attended the Second National Congress of the American Communist Party. Through dialogue, debate, and discussion, ACP TX served as a leading voice in the drafting of a new Party Constitution and the revision of our Party Platform. ACP TX walked away from the congress with new connections, a bigger spotlight on our unique contributions to party work, and a renewed invigoration for building the Communist movement in the United States.
ACP TX condemns the recent act of senseless violence committed by ICE against Wilber Garces Perez amid the agency’s escalating and overtly-aggressive activities in Austin, Texas. This incident has exposed not only the cruelty of the Trump administration’s foot soldiers, but has also shed light on the corruption and opportunism of our institutions and on the harsh realities of American imperialism. We need to transcend the duopoly and work together to replace this broken system with a true and lasting alternative that actually serves the interests of the American working class.
The ACP believes in building stronger communities from the ground up, which is why we invest our time and energy into local projects that make a real difference. We're committed to initiatives that focus on food sovereignty because we know that true resilience starts when communities have the tools and resources to sustain themselves.
ACP Texas recently partnered with Casa de Paz Montessori and the Oak Cliff Veggie Project to create a community garden. More than just a place to grow food, it's a living classroom and a powerful example of what happens when people come together around a shared purpose. What we've built will help young students and their families gain life skills that last well beyond the garden.
ACP Texas now volunteers there regularly, and we're excited about the work ahead. We'll keep pushing for projects that strengthen our neighborhoods and move us toward a future beyond the duopoly.
People going hungry in America, a country with so much abundance, is a sign that our system is broken. ACP Texas is working to build a new system from the ground up that puts people above profits, starting with addressing the problem of food insecurity.
By partnering with a Baytown Church and providing free groceries to the local community, ACP Texas is honoring the legacy of the many Marxist-Leninists who came before us and showed that a different world is possible.
In the words of Fred Hampton, "we teach the people, through practice, through observation and participation, that people can be there, free."
The Red Army’s Long March campaign under the leadership of Mao Zedong is one of the most incredible and inspiring stories in all of world history, seeming almost too good to be true. A torturous 10,000km journey that saw over 100,000 soldiers reduced to just 8,000 over the course of one year. And yet despite all the loss and struggle and suffering, it paved the way for the eventual victory of the Communist Party over the Nationalist Kuomintang during the Chinese Civil War and the birth of a new China. In the ACP, we can’t help ourselves from thinking of and reflecting upon this almost mythical story any time we pack up and go out together into nature. Texas has been blessed with plenty of rain in the recent months, so our Austin area members were eager to enjoy the greenbelt before it inevitably turns into the brownbelt as we move deeper into summer and temperatures soar.
Before our hike, cadre read passages from Mao’s Little Red Book aloud, reminding us of the great sacrifices that were taken in order for a better, brighter future to unfold. We as communists must carry that responsibility, honoring that memory by being good stewards and unrelenting fighters for the working class. As Mao said, revolution is not a dinner party. In our experience, part of it is soaking through your shirt in 90% humidity, carefully crossing rushing floodwaters that cut off your path, and learning how to identify flora and fauna.
We’ll be hitting the trails again soon, so if you’d like to join us, please visit ACP.us/join today 💪
America’s veterans & soldiers deserve a country that wields their sacrifices for the working class, not for the wars & whims of bankers and their puppets in government.
The Southern Region of ACP Texas volunteered to support veterans services & made donations to a transitional housing non-profit organization, “Warriors Refuge”.
In total, we donated over $200 worth of groceries and hygiene supplies that are much needed for American Veterans who are struggling to make ends meet. We mopped & cleaned the floors of the facility, helped prepare meals for lunch and dinner in the kitchen, and moved bed boxes.
With many veterans struggling to find a home and economic stability in a chaotic decaying empire, organizations like Warriors Refuge are vital for the survival and health of veterans in small town communities like West Columbia in South Texas.
ACP stands firmly against U.S. imperialism, the U.S. military industrial & cybernetic system, & the Zionist ideology guiding Western foreign policy; we do not support foreign entanglements launched abroad by U.S. empire.
However, we understand the average soldier is not culpable for the systemic decisions of imperialism at its highest and most rotten stage. In many cases, joining military service is the only way out of poverty for struggling Americans.
Our political stance is firm. We believe America needs to bring back stable jobs, housing for all, and a sense of community which doesn't leave people behind, while focusing our resources at home instead of getting involved in forever foreign wars.
And we believe America’s heroes will be forged in the fight for America’s political sovereignty here at home, not as pawns for the Epstein regime in countries fighting for their own sovereignty. ACP, nationally and in Texas, will continue to fight for this sovereign future for the working class of America.
