Nat Weinstein Biographical Note
Nat Weinstein was born in 1924 in Brooklyn, New York and passed away in San Francisco, California in 2014. He learned about
Marxism from members of the Socialist Workers Party (SWP) while serving in the Merchant Marine from 1943 to 1945, and joined
the SWP in 1945. He led the New York City SWP's collaboration with Malcolm X in 1964 while serving as an organizer of the
New York City branch as well as the National Committee, and was also a member of the New York City Painter's Union. He helped
to restore the Seattle branch of the SWP after many members left it to form the Freedom Socialist Party, and later he and
his wife Sylvia Weinstein moved to San Francisco to assist an oppositional caucus within the San Francisco Painters Local
No. 4 union in their attempts to democratize their union after its leader, Dow Wilson, was assassinated. In the San Francisco
branch of the SWP, Nat served on the political committee, Northern California district committee, and led a solidarity coalition
with the Department Store Union Employees Local No. 1100 in a strike against the Sears Roebuck Company.
In the early 1980s, Jack Barnes, Mary Alice Waters, and other SWP leaders began to reject Trotsky's theory of the permanent
revolution in favor of connecting with the Cuban Communist Party and Sandinista National Liberation Front, which Nat Weinstein
and others considered Stalinist. This revisionist faction also favored the Democratic Dictatorship of the Proletariat and
Peasantry, which Lenin himself disagreed with, and also shifted from identifying as a "workers government" to considering
itself a "workers and farmers government." Nat Weinstein, alongside Jeff Mackler, Tom Kerry, Lynne Henderson, Frank Lovell,
George Breitman, and others, organized an oppositional faction that supported the party's foundational Trotskyist ideas, and
formed Socialist Action in 1983. Although many members of the oppositional faction were suspended or expelled from the SWP,
Nat Weinstein attempted to stay in the organization in an effort to recruit SWP members for his new group. Socialist Action,
of which Nat Weinstein was national co-secretary alongside Jeff Mackler, continued to advocate for the Fourth International
and the Trotskyist ideas of James P. Cannon, which the SWP had rejected. As Socialist Action's labor secretary, he supported
a national strike of Greyhound bus drivers, as well as a strike in Minnesota by Hormel meatpacking workers, and advocated
for Ron Carey in the Teamster's presidential campaign. He also involved Socialist Action in the founding of the Labor Party,
which was started by Tony Mazzochi of the Oil, Chemical, and Atomic Workers Union. In 2001, Nat left Socialist Action and
formed the Socialist Workers Organization and its magazine,
Socialist Viewpoint.

Sylvia Weinstein Biographical Note
Sylvia Weinstein was born in 1926 in Kentucky and passed away in 2001 in San Francisco, California. Her mother's family were
coal miners who participated in union activity. Sylvia met and married Nat Weinstein in New York City, and aligned with socialism
during World War Two, around the time Nat learned about Marxism while serving in the Merchant Marine. She became a member
of the Socialist Workers Party (SWP) and worked in its National Office in New York City. During this time, Sylvia and Nat
assisted in organizing a meeting between Malcolm X and Fidel Castro. In the 1960s, Sylvia ran for New York City Council and
for lieutenant governor, both unsuccessfully. She and Nat moved to San Francisco in 1966, where she ran for mayor, supervisor,
and for the Board of Education in the 1970s and 1980s, also unsuccessfully.
Sylvia advocated for the end of the Vietnam War, supported abortion rights, and was a proponent of free child care in San
Francisco. She was a member of the National Organization of Women (NOW), among other pro-choice organizations, and helped
organize an annual rally called "Day in the Park for Women's Rights." Sylvia was expelled from the SWP, was a founding member
of Socialist Action alongside Nat, and later belonged to the Socialist Workers Organization. Sylvia worked for
The Militant newspaper, in the national offices of Socialist Action and the Socialist Workers Organization, and also helped organize the
Greyhound workers union headquarters during a strike.
