If you’re new to PSMLS, the school provides free public collective education every week on Tuesdays and Thursdays on a variety of topics from a Marxist-Leninist perspective. You don’t have to be a member of anything or identify as any certain ideology to attend. The PSMLS is a Party of Communists USA initiated and sponsored school, but it is not a party school, which is great because it allows for a wide variety of different perspectives and opinions to be brought forth which don’t necessarily reflect the party line. If you are interested, you can join the PCUSA as an associate member at https://partyofcommunistsusa.net/join-the-pcusa/ or just check them out at partyofcommunistsusa.net.
Defend the Peoples School and Party of Communists USA! Last year we were attacked and sabotaged by ultra-left wreckers that tried to steal the PSMLS and destroy the PCUSA. They failed, but they will be held accountable and there are still things they took from us that we’ve not got back, like videos, imagery, audio etc. That is why we still need donations to the legal drive. If you support the school and want to see us continue to improve and keep delivering this education 51 weeks a year, please pitch in whatever you can and support the GoFundMe for the legal drive @ https://www.gofundme.com/f/legal-fund-to-defend-against-wreckers. Anything helps!
Help spread the word about the Peoples School by spreading our propaganda! You can find printable flyers, stickers, business cards and brochures at peoplesschool.us/media, and you can post them up, leave them somewhere or hand them out to other working class Americans. Feel free to take a picture of them being distributed show we can show our propaganda being spread across the nation! You can also promote the school AND support us by buying our Peoples School for Marxist-Leninist Studies merchandise from our CafePress store linked at peoplesschool.us/store. You can find PSMLS apparel, phone accessories, magnets, stickers, pins, office supplies, cups and more there and you can also find the storefront of our sponsor, the Party of Communists USA there as well.
As always, be sure to support our partner publishing house, New Outlook Publishers! They have many books on Marxism-Leninism and contributions from fellow travelers of the communist movement as well. They also have texts compiled and published from commissions and other bodies of the Party of Communists USA, and are putting out the new releases of recently continued works of old like The Communist and New Masses. You can find them at newoutlookpublishers.store and when you purchase from New Outlook Publishers, you support the PCUSA and the PSMLS!

While we’re promoting a USFSP event, let us also promote a USFSP project here. Support the Soviet Film Project!
On the Soviet Film Project:
At the end of 2008, various comrades regained possession of a cache of films that used to be the film library of the Berkeley, CA branch of the Soviet-American Friendship Society. The collection consists of about 300 films on a variety of topics. They are in Russian with English subtitles, and represent the Soviet Union speaking of itself, in its own voice.
The U. S. Friends of the Soviet People (USFSP) agreed to take possession of these films in 2009, and raise the funds and perform the work to digitize the collection, and to distribute its contents both via recorded media (like DVDs) and via the Internet.
Today, with the funds we have raised, we have finally been able to begin publishing these digitized films. If you would like to support us in continuing to digitize more films, please make a donation to USFSP at https://usfriendsofthesovietpeople.info/donations/ .
We do this not to profit from the work, but to preserve the memory of the USSR and its many achievements, and to pass that memory on to future generations.
