Please join us for DSA's three-part Foundational Political Education series, featuring presentations by Sanjiv Gupta on capitalism, Meagan Day on socialism, and Eric Blanc on class. Combined, these three presentations create a solid foundation for understanding the contemporary world and a possible alternative.

This week, Eric Blanc will talk about class. Why do socialists see the working class as the central agent for social change? Who exactly belongs to the working class? Can workers still change the world today? And what is the relationship between workplace and electoral struggle?

A longtime labor activist, Eric Blanc is the author of Red State Revolt: The Teachers’ Strike Wave and Working-Class Politics and Revolutionary Social Democracy: Working-Class Politics Across the Russian Empire, 1882-1917, as well as an organizer trainer in the Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee.
