DESCRIPTION:Six-Week Public Study Group:\n\nFighting Modern McCarthyism: Lessons from 
 Yesterday\nMcCarthyism never died — it evolved. Today a familiar playbook 
 comes roaring back. A new wave of suppression by the Trump regime adds 
 terrorist-baiting and demands loyalty to every tenet of white supremacy, 
 patriarchy, xenophobia, and transphobia. In this discussion group, we will 
 study the history of resistance to McCarthyism to arm ourselves with 
 strategies for today. Together we will answer: How do we go on the offense 
 against government attacks to our rights and our lives?\n\nWednesdays, 
 February 11- March 18, 6:30pm\nIn-person: New Valencia Hall, 747 Polk St. 
 San Francisco, 94109\nFor online participation, register at:

 session, on February 25, participants will discuss how McCarthyism was 
 related to attacks on labor unions and why LGBTQ+ people have been targets 
 of McCarthyist attacks. The readings on these themes are available through 
 these three links: \n"From anti-labor legislation to anti-communism," pp. 
 161-178 in
