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

Here are some DETAILS for Wednesday's Boston Stands With Standing Rock:

We will meet at Boston Common/Park Street Station for a rally from 4 pm until about 5 pm or so.
We will make sure that updates are posted on this facebook event as locations change, so you should check here if you are arriving late.
A march will commence between 5 and 5:15 pm, so if you arrive then, you should be able to find the group in the Park Street/ Downtown Crossing general area. But you can check this event page (http://justicewithpeace.org/node/6525) for updates, too!
If you are arriving at 6 or later, you can check this event page but it will probably make the most sense for you to plan to meet us over at the Fiedler Footbridge by the Charles River.
If you are not on facebook, there will probably be some live tweeters, too. (Hashtag TBD.)
