SUMMARY:Play : Fight for 52¢ - Written and Performed by Howard Petrick - 70 min.
DESCRIPTION:San Francisco actor and writer Howard Petrick takes a look at the 1934 Minneapolis general strike through the eyes of one of its leaders\, V.R. Dunne. The Minneapolis Teamster General Strike was one of three successful strikes that year that built the rise of industrial unionism and labor rights. We learn Dunne’s story through his working class life in the depths of the 1930’s depression\, which led to his political development. It includes the violence that striking workers faced at the hands of police. He also describes how the use of a Women’s Auxiliary enabled the striking workers to succeed. He discusses the importance of cultural and worker solidarity\, which was a critical part in the victory of the general strike. Today\, as millions of workers are being marginalized\, these lessons continue to be relevant. Petrick\, through his art\, makes them come alive. \nhttps://howardpetrick.com \n\nCLOSING PARTY will follow performance.\nBring a contribution of food\, beverage for potluck\, or instrument for the open mic.

SUMMARY:Concert : Labor Troubadour and Rocker Mike Stout and Whats Left With Jimmy Kelley
DESCRIPTION:Mike Stout has spent his life rocking the world with his music. Based in Pittsburgh\, he is known as the “World’s Grievance Man” and his music has a powerful punch. In 1977 Stout became a steelworker at Homestead Works\, where he was elected the union’s head grievance man. He used his music to rally his co-workers at union meetings and against the closures and de-industrialization by the steel companies who moved plants to non-union areas in the U.S. and around the world. His music unites all workers and the oppressed. Acapella will open the mike\, and Jimmy Kelly\, long time labor educator and musican\, will also kick up the beat with Stout and other Bay Area musicians. \nVideos \n\nYou can watch Mike Stout and Acapella’s performance on July 11 – click here

SUMMARY:SF Mime Troupe - 2018: Seeing Red: A Time-Traveling Musical
DESCRIPTION:Written by Rotimi Agbabiaka with Joan Holden\nMusic & Lyrics by Ira Marlowe\nDirected by Edris Cooper-Anifowoshe \nIt’s Election Night 2018 and Bob swears she’ll never vote again. A lifetime of fading fortunes made this former Obama voter take a chance on the new guy promising change-Donald J. Trump. But it’s two years into his presidency and Bob’s still waiting to start winning. Tonight she’s telling everyone in her small-town bar that all politicians are liars\, the system is rigged\, and nothing’s ever gonna change.\nAlong comes a mysterious stranger with an intriguing offer. He’ll show her an America where working people come together to demand a brighter future\, where socialism isn’t a dirty word. He’ll take her all the way … to 1912.\nBob soon finds herself traveling back to a time when the Socialist Party was winning millions of American votes; uncovering a hidden history and realizing that she may have more in common with those pesky progressives on the coasts. She begins to ask: what will it take to get people to stop voting against their interests? How do we overcome the divide-and-conquer tactics that keep us all down? When did our electoral choices get so limited? And isn’t it time to get off the swinging pendulum that’s left us at our current impasse?\nFor more info on the schedule: www.sfmt.org \nReview by Lily Janiak on SF Chronicle
