SUMMARY:Who Profits When We Get Sick?
DESCRIPTION:Duration: One-day class\, Friday\, December 7\, 6:30-9:30pm  \nContent: We all need healthcare\, and less and less of us can afford it. Healthcare is at the center of debates about government spending\, of labor struggles\, and of conflicts within the major political parties. It’s constantly at the top of the list of issues people are concerned about. But at the same time\, the interests and forces that determine our health and control the healthcare industries are often hidden behind rhetoric\, jargon\, and misdirection. This class will introduce the economics and politics of health and healthcare\, take a critical look at the “solutions” to the healthcare crisis\, and put forward the visions and strategies of grassroots groups organizing for their human right to healthy lives and to the care we need\, when we need it.

SUMMARY:Lessons from the National Union of the Homeless
DESCRIPTION:Duration: Saturday October 21\, 10am-1pm & 2:30-5:30pm. Please note there is a break between sessions\, from 1pm -2:30pm. \nContent: It’s been 30 years since the Tompkins Square Park “riot\,” and the story of how homeless individuals and families organized and built a formidable political force in the 80’s and 90’s is still misunderstood and understudied. \nThis course is an introduction to the National Union of the Homeless (NUH) – an organization led by homeless individuals and families which was active from the mid-80’s to the early 90’s\, and came to include some of the key leaders of the Tompkins Square Park encampment. At its height\, the NUH had over 25\,000 members in over 20 cities\, and led coordinated campaigns to takeover empty HUD housing and demand it be turned over to homeless families to live in. The instructors were all active leaders in the NUH and its affiliated student organization\, Empty the Shelters. The course will cover the context for the rise of the NUH\, the history of the movement\, lessons from its successes and failures\, and the organizing approach it helped to define – “the poor organizing the poor.”
