The mayor of Chicago, Brandon Johnson, welcomed this year's Labor Notes Conference, the mayor having been a union activist himself. Delegates watched returns from the union organizing vote in Chattanooga, Tennessee, where VW workers voted 73% to join UAW. That's in Tennessee, one of the southern states that tries to block unions.
And Shawn Fain came to the Notes conference with a militant message: organize as the working class, fight for a shorter work week, coordinate strike dates so that all contracts end on May Day, and American workers join in solidarity with rest of the world's workers
Shawn Fain is calling on other unions, in the US and internationally, to set their contract expiry dates for May Day 2028.

At a time when we are witnessing an Israeli-perpetrated genocide, and the International community fiddles while Gaza literally burns, we need to examine how this came to happen. What led to the horror we are witnessing in Palestine today? When you ask that question, the Israeli response is that the Hamas raid on Israel and the taking of hostages on October 7th is the cause for Israel's massive retaliation. But the facts go much deeper. Today we turn to the eminent Israeli historian, Ilan Pappé, to put this horror in perspective. The presentation you will hear was delivered at the University of California in Berkeley last Fall, shortly after the October 7th event, and is edited to meet time restrictions.

Omar Bargouhti reminds us of the larger meaning of the liberation struggle to be found in the Passover story and remembered in the celebration of Yom Kippor that Jewish Zionist have worked to erase.

Along with Palestinian land, history and culture it was necessary for Zionists to steal Jewish identity, to conflate it with the Judaisms anathema, to infuse their project with a legitimacy it id not deserve.
