Join Flatbush DSA Socialist Night School for a special visit with Micah Uetricht, author of Strike for America!

From PreK to higher ed, what would a socialist vision for education look like? Each session in this series will convene educators, students, parents of students, education activists, and other community members to explore topics including fighting privatization, democratic control, and socialist pedagogy, plus NYC-specific topics like CUNY On Strike and upcoming mayoral and UFT elections.

In this second session of three sessions, we will be joined by Micah Uetricht, editor of Jacobin magazine and author of Strike for America: Chicago Teachers Against Austerity. We will consider the historic 2012 Chicago Teacher's Union strike, and how teachers and school communities can fight against austerity and privatization with a progressive vision for public education. Micah Uetricht will speak about his experience reporting on the strike, and we will have a Q&A and discussion of the lessons we can learn from it, and how it connects to the education landscape in New York City today. As always, all are encouraged to attend, whether you have done all, some, or none of the reading.

Note for families: Volunteer childcare will be provided upon request - see RSVP form to request.
