DESCRIPTION:Economic 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? Featuring 
 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. 
 Community college professor Robert 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.”\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2009/06/30/18604724.php
