I hope you're all well and ready to dive into our first Night School of 2021! We'll be meeting on Jan 25th at 6pm and our theme for this session is "Socialism and the Family".
We'll be discussing the ways in which capitalism shapes family life
(spoiler: it's not good, folks!) and what an alternative might look
like. We'll also be discussing the ways in which the pandemic has
further exposed the failures of capitalism to address the basic needs of
working class families.
