Join us on Wednesday, August 5th for a discussion about the history of policing in America, and their role in repressing labor and social justice movements.
Socialist Night School is an open course that provides a chance to develop our politics together, regardless of background knowledge or whether you’ve attended a class before. Non-members, New members, and lifelong socialists, all are welcome!
We will start with a brief lecture on the readings, then break out into discussion groups.
"We live in the aftermath of a history."
