Join us for our upcoming study session as we formulate answers to these pressing questions. We will examine excerpts from Jonathan Smucker (Hegemony), Jane McAlevey (No Shortcuts), and others to prepare our chapter to take on a looming recession and an impending strike by UPS workers.
First up we have Hegemony How-To which looks back at the Occupy Movement and tries to propose a path forward in the aftermath of Trump's election in 2016.
