Friday, August 28, 7:00pm: Why Confront Ultra-Right Bigots?

When anti-Jewish, white supremacist groups announce a rally or commit blatant racist acts, pundits often advise the public to “just ignore them” as a lunatic fringe. Meet two unionists who believe that mobilizing our communities to stand up and show unity in action is key to burying neo-fascists. Toni Mendicino demonstrated against the Klan when they rallied in support of the confederate flag July 18 in South Carolina. Daryle Washington protested a noose hanging in his San Francisco workplace at Recology. Nancy Reiko Kato, who was also in Columbia, S. Carolina, will present a slideshow of the demo against the KKK.

September 25— The Friedrichs Case: An Attack on Labor and California Teachers Unions

October 23— The Revolutionary Legacy of Leon Trotsky

Doors open at 6:30pm. Door donation $3, snack plates ($6). Sliding scale and work exchanges available.
