Liberation Road
[Formerly known as Freedom Road Socialist Organization (FRSO/OSCL)]
Website: www.roadtoliberation.org
The Liberation Road organization was for two decades called the Freedom Road Socialist Organization (FRSO/OSCL), and changed to its present name in April 2019. Though its roots lie in the “New Communist” movement in the U.S. during the 1960s-1970s, this has in practice been a social democratic group which has recently further intensified its focus on electoral politics. (Further info to be added later.)
