AMERICAN LEFT HISTORY

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

Dear Friends,

The International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People is coming up on November 29th. We hope many of you will order our Solidarity Packs (or individual materials of your choosing) to distribute in honor of this day.

One of the most important and effective things we can do to bring justice and peace is to grow our movement by informing our communities of the facts.

Our "Solidarity Packs" include a variety of professional-quality printed materials with accessible, clear, factual information on the various aspects of the Palestine-Israel issue.

We offer a Solidarity Pack and a Solidarity Pack Lite. Both include the same list of materials, but in different quantities. Please see below for details and to order. (We're prepared to ship these packs immediately!)

We encourage you to distribute these materials at protests, gatherings, malls, or street corners; to friends, neighbors, colleagues or strangers; to use them as resources in discussions with others in your community and to share the facts in them widely!

*A note on the suggested donation: We offer our published materials free, as supplies allow, though we request donations whenever possible to cover the printing and shipping costs. The “suggested donations” listed are designed to cover only the cost of printing the materials. We incur many other costs in creating, updating, and packaging them, and gladly accept donations towards those expenses from those who can afford it.

**A note on shipping: We generally ship materials using U.S. Post Office Priority Mail envelopes and boxes. These offer a flat rate rather than charging for the weight of the materials included and we have found them to be generally more economical than other methods (remember, printed materials are very heavy, and the Post Office usually charges by weight). They have the added advantage of arriving in two to three days and being very quick and easy for us to send. Current rates (subject to change by the Post Office) are: $5.05 for a large envelope, $11.30 for a medium box and $15.30 for a large box.
