We at the People’s Tribune are deeply saddened by the sudden death in early November of our long-time friend and colleague Bob Brown, passionate revolutionary thinker and organizer. Bob organized for social justice and social transformation for many years, in Philadelphia and Chicago, with his own special spirit, compassion, honesty, intelligence and sharp humor.
He was active in the UE, SEIU and a number of other unions, and was instrumental in founding the Labor Party in 1996. Ahead of its time, that party galvanized fighters and revolutionaries from inside and outside organized labor.
Bob was a former member of the People’s Tribune Editorial Board, an active distributor, and a learned visionary thinker and writer. He was a founding member of the League of Revolutionaries for a New America and on the Editorial Board of its newspaper, Rally, Comrades!
What Bob contributed to the work of imagining, expressing and sharing the vision of a transformed future will live on in the movement he dedicated his life to. He will be missed and remembered with love for all he was and for his many contributions. Bob Brown, present! He changed the world with his fine heart and mind. We mourn his passing and celebrate his life.
In memory of Robert “Bob” Brown
