DESCRIPTION:Class Struggle Against the Economic Meltdown: Lessons from History for 
 Fighting Back Today\nEconomic meltdown? Recession? Depression? What are we 
 to do? How will the working class fare? Where will the catalyst for change 
 come from? What lessons can we learn from the past and what are people 
 already doing to fight back and create solidarity where they live and work? 
 \nFeaturing working class historian Gifford Hartman, who will revisit the 
 Great Depression and how the working class self-organized survival 
 strategies such as eviction resistance, relief office occupations, mass 
 strikes and other direct actions for providing for basic needs and 
 community self-defense -- that were taking off well before the New Deal 
 began. He will also survey the history of class struggle since then, as 
 well as exploring possibilities of applying these ideas for resistance 
 today. \nRobert Ovetz will guide a brainstorming session about how we can 
 respond to and survive the brewing storm and build and expand projects from 
 the bottom up that already envision the “future in the present.”\nSee
