On Sunday, December 15 @ 3:00, join us for Socialist Sunday School #68: Strike! We'll be reading Chapter 3 of Strike! by Jeremy Brecher. The author will be joining the session for a Q&A. NOTE: Remote only.

Here is a link to the reading: Brecher - Strike! - Ch 3

In Strike!, Brecher presents a history of labor uprisings in America through a working-class lens. Chapter 3, "The Ragged Edge of Anarchy," tells the story of militant strike waves in 1892 and '94, including Homestead and Pullman Strikes, each broken by military-corporate coordination. We will discuss the conditions for these strikes, and lessons from their defeat.

A facilitator will provide a summary of the reading. This is a great opportunity to meet your comrades and discuss important ideas, whether you're new to these conversations, or been involved in organizing for a long time.

Every effort will be made to create a safe, accessible, and comradely space for learning and discussion.
