Vera Buch

Vera Wilhelmine Buch Weisbord (Forestville, Connecticut 19 August 1895 – Chicago 6 September 1987) was an American political activist and union organizer.

[1][4] In 1918, Buch moved to Caldwell, New Jersey, where she got involved with the Left Wing Section of the Socialist Party.

[1] In 1928, she went to Pennsylvania to help organizing women of the United Mine Workers in a coal miner's strike.

[1][2] The Loray Mill Strike was the last where Buch acted on behalf of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) or the National Textile Workers Union (NTWU).

[5][1] In 1931, Buch and Weisbord founded the Communist League of Struggle to provide a Trotskyist alternative to the CPUSA.
