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

Great T-shirt, Great Cause!
Donate
To Continue The Fight for $15/hr!
Victory Party &
Fundraiser!
June 14th
(TONIGHT)!
Come
out and celebrate Seattle's historic victory of winning a $15/hr minimum wage,
discuss how to build the movement in New England and raise funds to spread 15
Now across the country!
This
historic achievement was the result of a powerful grassroots movement built from
below. The message is clear: When we organize we can win!
After decades of the neo-liberal race-to-the-bottom, this is a
truly stunning win. It's estimated this will result in a $3 billion dollar
transfer of wealth into the pockets of low-wage workers an decrease poverty in
Seattle by 25%.
Already the struggle is spreading fast. In Chicago, New
York, San Francisco and beyond, serious campaigns to win $15 are developing.
This is the time to build 15 Now into a powerful nation-wide movement. 15 Now
aims to raise $150,000 this month to hire organizers across the country,
including here in New England, to expand the struggle.
Be part of bringing this movement to New England, and across the
nation!
Donate today at 15Now.org or join us for the victory party
and give what you can
there!
