In CPUSA, we work at the level of clubs, which are organized into districts that share common organizing conditions or laws. Each district has a District Organizer: a trusted comrade who is the main contact person between national CPUSA and the clubs within the district. In Virginia, our District Organizer is Emile Schepers, a veteran organizer who spent many years of his life organizing in Chicago before moving out to Virginia. Emile is also South African, and this perspective has helped us a great deal as we’re fighting alongside postal workers, scientists, and more who are fighting against the wishes of a pro-Apartheid South African currently involved in the White House, Elon Musk.
Emile wrote about these connections and the current alignment between Trump, Elon, and Afrikaners, and provided critical analysis of this relationship and how it intersects with colonialism, apartheid, and white supremacy.
