<DIV dir=ltr class="skiptranslate goog-te-gadget">Carl Gibson, co-founder of
U.S. Uncut, is joining with other Occupy Wall Street organizers to launch a new
populist political party. While more details (including the name of the party
and the identities of other key organizers) will be available when the group
launches on March 20, the party will be explicitly anti-capitalist.

<P>Says Gibson: “A new party that actively opposes capitalism and unites people
around the basic ideas of meeting human needs would be widely respected and
immediately acknowledged. This new party could stand apart from the two
corporate-owned parties by refusing to take campaign donations from
corporations, banks and developers, standing up for the rights of immigrants and
indigenous people, calling for sustainable energy and development, making
education for all a top priority, and believing in universal access to
healthcare as a human right. While it would take time, focusing on building
power first at the local and county level is the surest way to make lasting
change.”</P>
<P>In this interview with Resistance Report host Dennis Trainor, Jr., Gibson
acknowledged that the Green Party is already working along a parallel path, but
feels his (soon to be launched) party will do a better job of engaging young
people and focusing on local politics as a way to build power.
