This space is dedicated to the proposition that we need to know the history of the struggles on the left and of earlier progressive movements here and world-wide. If we can learn from the mistakes made in the past (as well as what went right) we can move forward in the future to create a more just and equitable society. We will be reviewing books, CDs, and movies we believe everyone needs to read, hear and look at as well as making commentary from time to time. Greg Green, site manager

In Boston Stand In Solidarity
Fast food workers across the country are going ON STRIKE Thursday,
September 4.
We know that we have momentum on our side. We
know that people like you have our backs. And we're committed to do WHATEVER IT
TAKES to get $15 an hour and the right to form a union without
retaliation.
Me, I'm willing to do whatever it takes because
I'm barely surviving on the poverty wages I make at Burger King. Even working
two jobs, it's a struggle for me just to afford the bus fare to get to and from
work.
I'm taking action because I know that if I
don’t stand up and fight for what I believe in, for what’s right, that nobody
else will and nothing will ever change.
This is our moment.
Fast food workers across the country are
starting to experience that – what it feels like to fight for better pay and
better treatment – and it’s amazing to see.
