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

Warrior Writers- Upcoming Workshops & Readings in Cambridge
We’re excited to share our upcoming workshops and readings scheduled over the next few months in Cambridge! Whether you're just beginning to explore writing, you're looking to develop your practice, or you want to connect with other writers and share your work – all are welcome!
Keep an eye out for more programming as we work to create opportunities for veterans to engage in creative communities in the area with the support of our incoming co-director Caleb Nelson. Caleb, a Navy veteran, writer, and longtime Warrior Writers facilitator, was recently selected to serve with Warrior Writers as part of a six-month community service fellowship with The Mission Continues. Welcome and congratulations, Caleb!
Last week we had a great night starting off our spring programming with dinner and a tour of the Longfellow House, and last night we celebrated the release of Marc Levy's book How Stevie Nearly the War and Other Post War Stories for our monthly Midnight Voices spoken word and poetry night. We look forward to seeing YOU at our upcoming events!

Since 2012, the Boston Warrior Writers Retreat has offered participants an amazing opportunity to work closely with the Joiner Institute's distinguished veteran faculty, including Brian Turner,Bruce Weigl, Fred Marchant, Sean Davis and Larry Heinneman for master classes and writing consultations. It's also been a great chance for our community to show their support for veterans with dozens of local businesses and community members chipping in on supplies, meals, and other vital support for participants!
