Rebel Reading Circle: The Fight Against Fascism in the U.S.A.

February 18 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm

The Fight Against Fascism in the U.S.A.
Lessons From the 1930’s – 40’s

8-week series, beginning January 28

Delve into gripping first-person accounts by anti-fascist organizers from the Great Depression era. The rise of fascism in Europe has been well-documented, but the home-grown Nazi movement it inspired is rarely discussed. This booklet is a compilation by participants who mounted successful campaigns to counter burgeoning fascist movements in New York, Minneapolis and Los Angeles, where they confronted organizations like the German-American Bund and the Silver Shirts, which emerged out of North Carolina, and demagogues like Father Coughlin, an ultra-right Catholic priest. Their stories contain valuable lessons for today’s anti-fascist activists in how we can unite unions, leftists and community organizations to effectively oppose racism, anti-Semitism, misogyny and red-baiting.

New Freeway Hall
5018 Rainer Ave. S. Seattle
On #7 bus line and near the Columbia City light rail station

The booklets are $12 and are available at New Freeway Hall.

Book Discussion Group: Socialist Feminism, The First Decade, 1966-76

February 18 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

This unique book records the forging of the first Marxist feminist party in history — the Freedom Socialist Party. Set in the tumultuous upsurges of the 1960s and ’70s, the book is charged with audacity, verve and optimism. Author Gloria Martin vividly describes the eruption of the women’s liberation movement amidst the antiwar, civil rights, and queer struggles. She scathingly critiques the role of most of the Left, and probes with a sharp scalpel the internal conflicts in the movements for social change.

This is a story of years of intense work by radical women and men. It is a chronicle, a reference, an analysis, a judgement, and a guidebook. Its central message is inescapable: socialist feminism as a theme and strategy has never been more urgently needed than it is today.

New Freeway Hall, 5018 Rainier Ave S, Seattle 98118
On #7 bus line and near the Columbia City light rail station.

This is a 10-week series, with a break Dec. 24 and 31. Books are only $8.95 and are available on site or can be ordered online. Everyone is welcome and now is a good time to join since we are just starting the book. Also, it is fine to attend individual sessions. Free. Light snacks available for a donation.
