Capitalism is Broken: Can We Workers Win Something Better.
@ First Christian Church
Oct 15 @ 1:30 am – 4:00 am
Discussion sponsored by the ISO. There are many specters haunting Oakland–from BART managers who care more about beating the union than running the trains to police harassment, from low wages and lost jobs to drug war violence. For young people looking for work, as for homeowners struggling to pay mortgages, capitalism offers only bad choices. Democratic politicians we elect, like Republicans, pay more attention to the rich who give them money than to our real needs, while most of us don’t even theoretically have a say in how real estate … Continued

Rally with Fast Food Workers as we hold Fast Food companies accountable! While the fast food industry makes billions in profits, hard-working fast food workers are struggling to afford their basic needs like food, clothing and rent, and often rely on public assistance. Fast food companies rely on the fact that taxpayers will pick up the slack for their low wages. This is outrageous. Let’s hold fast food companies accountable.52971

@ Nourse theater
Oct 18 @ 2:30 am – 4:30 am
California Institute for Integral Studies Presents a Lecture by Michelle Alexander. Michelle Alexander is breaking the silence about racial injustice in the American legal system. In her book, The New Jim Crow, she explores the cultural biases that still exist, and how segregation has been replaced by mass incarceration.
