What is your view of the role of labor unions? What would you say to governors who oppose unions? What if anything would you do to strengthen economic democracy? There was a near-total lack of questions or discussion about unions or organized workers at the most recent presidential debate.

JWJ executive director Erica Smiley will join the Institute for Policy Studies on Monday, July 22 at 6:30 p.m. ET to discuss building a multiracial democracy that can beat back fascism. RSVP to attend virtually or in person: https://lnkd.in/gHK-x2V4
The Institute for Policy Studies, the Wallace Global Fund, and?The Nation?Present: ? The First Annual Henry A. Wallace Symposium Countering American Fascism:? Lessons from Organizing in the U.S. Heartland? ? with John Nichols, Sulma Arias of People’s Action, and Tope Folarin? ? ?? Monday, July 22, 2024, 6:30-8 pm ?? Busboys and Poets, 14th and V St., NW ? Eighty years ago, the?New York Times?published an?article?by the sitting vice president, Henry A. Wallace, on “The Dangers of American Fascism.” Wallace defined a fascist as one whose “lust for money or power is combined with such an intensity of intolerance toward those of other races, parties, classes, religions, cultures, regions or nations as to make him ruthless in his use of deceit or violence to attain his ends.” For democracy to crush fascism, Wallace warned, “It must put human beings first and dollars second.”? ? Join us for a discussion on the challenges confronting American democracy in the face of rising fascism. How are social movements working to counter this dangerous force by building an alternative vision of a multi-racial democracy and an economy that works for us all? What lessons can we learn from organizing in rural communities and from union campaigns in southern states?? Rsvp here: https://lnkd.in/gHK-x2V4
