New Online Study: Labor in the Fight Against Fascism
Three-part study begins Monday, June 15
The starting point for labor organizing in this period must be that labor becomes an antifascist movement or it has no future. —Bill Fletcher, Jr.
The Center for Political Education is holding a three-part study and discussion for labor leaders, organizers, and activists on how to transform the US labor movement into an antifascist fighting force.
The study will be a space to:
Assess labor’s response to the current threat.
Learn from and discuss the relevant history of labor in left-right dynamics in the US and globally.
Strategize about how to overcome existing obstacles to labor and the trade union movement becoming an antifascist movement.
Faculty include Bill Fletcher Jr., a long-time racial justice, labor, and international activist, scholar, and author (and frequent contributor to the New Liberator); Tej Nagaraja, Assistant Professor of History at Cornell University’s ILR School; Saba Waheed, director of the UCLA Labor Center; and Justin Gilmore, who is on the editorial board of Bay Area Current and teaches political theory at California State Stanislaus.
