=================================================
"Economic Crisis" workshop series starts April 21
Please join us for "The Economic Crisis, The Global
Economy, and the Economy We Want" at Encuentro 5, 33
Harrison Ave, 5th floor, downtown Boston (near the
Downtown Crossing and Chinatown stops).
This lively three-evening workshop will look at the
ways wealth has been stripped from workers, the public
sector, and "real economy" corporations over the last
40 years; how that wealth created the Wall Street
bubble; the global dimensions of the US economy and
crisis; and how we can transform it.
This Will Not Be A Lecture. We will form human bar
graphs, stack chairs in outrageous piles, sing Wobbly
songs, and generally have a riotous time as we
rigorously examine our sick economy and how to make it
safe for working people.
The schedule is:
Tuesday April 21: How did they get us into this mess?
Tuesday April 28: International Dimensions of the
Crisis with Adrian Boutureira of United for a Fair
Economy and Tim Costello of Global Labor Strategies
Tuesday May 5: Where's our leverage? What's our
strategy? with Stephanie Luce of Solidarity
All sessions will run from 7 to 9 pm. Pizza will be
served at 6:30; pre-register to insure space and pizza
with the workshop's sponsor, the Boston Radical
Education Project, repboston[@]gmail.com or
617-491-2876. The suggested workshop fee is $5 and no
one will be turned away.
See you there! Please spread the word. Mike Prokosch
