The UMass Boston branch of the International Socialist Organization is committed to both political education and political activism. With these goals in mind, we have brought internationally renown speakers to campus, attended mass demonstrations, held public meetings on current events, and organized with other groups. Below you will find some videos and pictures highlighting some of what we in the UMB ISO have been involved in. (Click on the pictures to view albums or video)
