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

Sick of media's anti-Bernie, pro-Biden spin? RootsAction Team

Corporate media coverage has continued to hype Joe Biden -- and put Bernie Sanders in a negative light -- without revealing much about their actual records and policy positions. We can help fill the gaps! Please share some of the important articles listed below under “Background.” If you forward links to friends via email and share your favorite pieces on social media, our combined efforts can reach literally millions of people. RootsAction.org needs your support to be able to inform the public of key facts routinely missing in mainstream media. We depend on the generosity of people who value what RootsAction is doing. Unlike Joe Biden’s campaign, RootsAction’s political work doesn’t get subsidized by wealthy executives from Comcast -- or from any corporate interests. We depend on small donors, and actually right now we’re several weeks behind in paying our bills. If you believe we should continue with emails like this one to share such vital information, please click here and throw a few dollars (or more) in the hat. We’d sure appreciate a donation of whatever you can afford. Thank you! -- The RootsAction.org Team Background: >> Sanders, Ocasio-Cortez Propose 15% Cap on Credit Card Interest >> Bernie Sanders Takes on Monsanto, Big Ag Monopolies With Plan to “Revitalize Rural America” >> Why So Many Journalists Are Clueless About the Bernie 2020 Campaign >> Biden vs. Bernie: the 1994 Crime Bill (Video) >> Biden Says He’s the Workers’ Candidate, But He Has Worked to Cut Medicare and Social Security >> Joe Biden is Railing Against Hedge Fund Managers, But He Has a Long History of Courting Them >> Comcast-Owned MSNBC in the Tank for Joe Biden’s Presidential Run >> Joe Biden Wants Us to Forget His Past.
