The Committees for Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism (CCDS) is, after Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and Communist Party USA (CPUSA), the third largest most influential marxist group in the USA. Formed in 1992 from a large split in the CPUSA, CCDS is influential in Chicago, New York, California and some other centres in the union movement and in black communities.
All three organisations are backing Barack Obama in the coming US election. The CPUSA is largely using its own resources in the unions and the social movements while DSA and CCDS (which have a large cross membership) are working closely together, particularly through Progressives for Obama.
Chicago CCDS has long supported Barack Obama.
CCDS National Committee member Carl Davidson worked with Obama in the New Party [See Obama-file 4 Obama Was Endorsed by Far Left "New Party"] in the mid/late ’90s and helped organise the famous 2002 peace rally [See Obama-file 5 Barack Obama Courted Chicago Marxists, Peace Activists] where Obama first came out strongly against the Iraq war.
CCDS Advisory Board member Timuel Black [Professor Emeritus, City College of Chicago] is a long term friend and supporter of the Senator from Illinois. Timuel Black’s wife Zenobia Johnson-Black [a Retired Chicago Housing Authority Official] is one several CCDS linked endorsers of the Progressives for Obama website.
Other long term Obama supporters such as Barbara Lee [See Obama-file 6 Bolshevik Barbara Bolsters Obama] and Danny K. Davis [See Obama file 22 Barack Obama, Danny K Davis and the Marxist New Party] also have CCDS connections. [Also see Obama-file 15 Socialist Octagenarians for Barack.]
CCDS revealed just how committed they are to an Obama presidency in this recent statement. (See next page, please.)
