What We Are Reading (Patreon)

Stay strong everyone. It's difficult to know where to turn in this moment, here are some suggestions & inspirations. I highly suggest Paul Robeson's response to the House Of Un-American Activities Committee, it is the combination of precision and power that we need. If you aren't already familiar the conclusion of the Wretched Of The Earth may provide you with some guidance. The other pieces are meant to remind us of the great tradition American socialist tradition of fighting for justice. 

Stay committed,
