Join Omaha DSA's Political Education Working Group as they host the first session of Socialist Night School!

Socialist Night School is a space for us to learn more about the theory, history, and practice that has influenced socialist politics and movements all around the world.

For our first session, we are exploring the mechanics of capitalism and how its exploitation runs through all aspects of working class life. We will discuss and learn more about three readings. You can access the readings and reading questions here.
