Online tonight at 6:30 (eastern) join in for a engaging presentation and dialog about our current political moment and organizing for what, by a intermediate level organization One Struggle. Tune in tonight! Hit me up if you’ll join, I’d like to rub heads together after

“Mobilizations without organizations will either whimper away and fade out, or be taken over by the capitalist class.

Historically, the only progress made in the interests of masses has been through struggle of the masses. All the concessions ever gotten from the dominant classes have been the conclusion of an organized mass movement.

Spontaneity and mobilizations, as expressions of the popular rage of the masses, can be a good opportunity for the development of relationships used for the construction of autonomous organizations. “

Every alternative represents a class alternative. So, in building a resistance movement, we need to ask, "Organize for what? And for who?"

Save the Date! The 1st Wednesday in December, the 2nd, at Ramsdell Public Library in Housatonic, Massachusetts Lukolo and friends will host a screening of The Milagro Beanfield War, directed by Robert Redford, with a facilitated discussion after.

As we in Great Barrington face a local campaign to Save Searles School and a proposed hotel development through demolishing a loved historical building, this 1988 film is relevant. Is what's good for business good for all?

Quick About the Film:
Robert Redford’s “The Milagro Beanfield War” opens with Mondragon’s small act of rebellion and uses it to explore the dilemma of many regional cultures in the United States - pockets of language, custom and heritage that are threatened with extinction by developers who want to turn everything into one homogeneous mall/hotel/resort. His movie doesn’t paint the situation in simple black and white terms; it’s about how some of the locals support Mondragon’s rebellion, a few oppose it and still more are rather reluctant to get involved.

“A pamphlet, no matter how good, is never read more than once, but a song is learned by heart and repeated over and over; I maintain that if a person can put a few cold, common sense facts into a song, and dress them up in a cloak of humor to take the dryness off of them, he will succeed in reaching a great number of workers who are too unintelligent or too indifferent to read a pamphlet or an editorial on economic science.” — Joe Hill
