It Is Time to Fight Back

On May 9, in San Francisco, the first in what should become thousands of Teach-Ins on our economic crisis will take place at 1 PM at Plumbers Hall, 1621 Market St. @ Franklin St. "We must begin to build a massive movement that will have the power to impact government policy and give people genuine hope for a better future."

We All Need To Be In A Union

History has shown over and over again that a strong labor movement is the only force capable of fighting corporate oligarchies. Over the past 30 years, unions in the private sector have been decimated as a result of Ronald Reagan and subsequent deregulation. If we are to take back our country, it is imperative that we all join unions at our workplaces, wherever possible. Part of our film will focus on this very issue, and how we can restore organized labor's rightful place in a functioning democracy. Please demand that your senators and Congress person are going to vote for the Employee Free Choice Act.

On 4/11 will you be marching?

The advanced capitalist model of free, deregulated markets, which is actually the old model from the early 20th century, has now been fully exposed. We must now hunker down and rebuild true community across this country, while we resist the continuing of the American Empire and its corporate beneficiaries. Let us boycott the Walmarts of the world, and create worker owned cooperatives; let us barter for goods and services; and above all let's get out in the streets to say enough to greed and corporate fascism.

On 4/11 there will be demonstrations held by A NewWayForward.org in over 60 cities. This is how to jump start the populist movement of the 21st century.
