DESCRIPTION:Hillbillies, Hicks, Rednecks, Crackers, White Trash,\n The Achilles Heel of 
 a Unified Workers’ Movement and Culture in the US\nThis panel will 
 explore the question nobody is asking: can “white trash” be 
 revolutionary? Through personal stories and political projects, Roxanne 
 Dunbar-Ortiz and Hilary Moore will discuss popular representation, hidden 
 organizing legacies, combatting white supremacy, homophobia and sexism, and 
 the poor white potential within the workers’ movement. James Tracy, 
 author of “Hillbilly Nationalists, Urban Race Rebels, and Black Power: 
 Community Organizing in Radical Times,” will comment and chair.\nHilary 
 Moore was born and raised in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. Currently 
 living in Oakland, California, Hilary earns money as a nanny and works as a 
 non-violent direct action trainer with The Ruckus Society. She is a 
 founding member of the Mobilization for Climate Justice West. She also sits 
 on the board and teaches with the Institute for Social Ecology. She 
 recently co-authored “Organizing Cools the Planet: Tools and Reflections 
 to Navigate the Climate Crisis,” out now on PM Press.\nRoxanne 
 Dunbar-Ortiz grew up in rural Oklahoma, child of landless farmers. Veteran 
 of the Sixties revolution, she has been involved in movements against the 
 Vietnam War and imperialism, union organizing, and Women’s Liberation 
 Movement. Among her published books is the memoir, “Red Dirt: Growing Up 
 Okie.”\nSee
