While millions of workers in the U.S. remain unorganized\, union popularity is at its peak\, driven by a surge of interest from a new generation of young workers who are looking to the labor movement as a vehicle to fight for their future. What have the struggles of workers across the country to build a fighting labor movement looked like in this moment of heightened contradictions and crisis? What challenges has it faced? Why do we need an organized labor movement in the struggle against US-led imperialism? \nFacilitators: \nHusayn Karimi\, labor journalist and organizer\, host of ā€œLabor on the Lineā€ \nTaher Dahleh is an organizer with the Palestinian Youth Movement and a member of the Communication Workers of America.

McCarthyism\, part of the ā€œRed Scare\,ā€ forced millions to sign anti-communist loyalty oaths\, investigated millions of workers\, and deported hundreds for suspected communist ties\, effectively severing left-wing ideas from American society. COINTELPRO further disorganized and dismantled revolutionary groups like the Panthers\, exposing the U.S. governmentā€™s repressive nature. As we face heightened repression in the movement for Palestinian liberation today\, studying this history of repression is more crucial than ever. \nFacilitator: Eugene Puryear \nĀ ļ»æļ»æļ»æļ»æļ»æ URL:https://peoplesforum.org/events/spark-resisting-disorganization-cointelpro/ CATEGORIES:Classes,Education,Red Hot Summer ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://peoplesforum.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Module5_Class1_Banner-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240805T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240805T210000 DTSTAMP:20260915T214559 CREATED:20240723T235531Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240723T235835Z UID:27252-1722882600-1722891600@peoplesforum.org SUMMARY:Volunteer Meeting for Palestine DESCRIPTION:šŸ‡µšŸ‡ø Join us to prepare for another week in the struggle for Palestinian liberation!

Other than just five professional actors\, the film uses real miners and their families as actors in the film. Upon its release\, both the film and virtually everyone involved in its production were blacklisted for its progressive\, feminist and pro-labor politics\, and the director was called in front of the House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC) and imprisoned. After being blacklisted\, the film found an audience in the Soviet Union\, and the lead actress moved to East Germany and continued a career in film. \nUS | 1954 | Herbert J. Biberman | 94 min \nThis is a free educational program\, however\, in order to maintain a safe capacity level\, we ask that you get an $8 solidarity ticket to reserve your participation and to sustain our educational programming.
