Fighting Modern McCarthyism: Lessons from Yesterday

Six-Week Public Study Group:

Fighting Modern McCarthyism: Lessons from Yesterday
McCarthyism 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?

Wednesdays, February 11- March 18, 6:30pm
In-person: New Valencia Hall, 747 Polk St. San Francisco, 94109
