As we approach the Day Without an Immigrant nationwide series of protests scheduled for International Workers' Day on May 1, taking the time to learn about the long and rich history of labor struggles in this country -- and the radical origins of May Day -- has become especially important. 
Join us for our next monthly study group as we read and discuss "Subterranean Fire: A History of Working Class Radicalism in the United States" by Sharon Smith. By situating the ongoing decline of the labor movement in this country's larger history of working class struggle, Smith argues for a perspective of rank-and-file unionism that remains vital today. 
Copies of the book are available through ISO Columbus.
