SUMMARY:Film: American Socialist: The Life and Times of Eugene Victor Debs
DESCRIPTION:Directed by Yale Strom\nEugene Victor Debs is unknown to most people in the United States\, yet\, he is one of the most important working-class figures in our history. Debs was a railroad worker during the 1877 national railway strike in July. This strike took place when the railroad bosses cut the wages of railroad workers 20%. The national strike shook the country as rebellions broke out not only in Pittsburgh\, St. Louis and Chicago\, but even in west coast Sacramento. It was only put down when President Garfield sent US army troops to break it. It also led to the creation of the National Guard in cities throughout the US.\nThis experience formed Deb’s views of the nature of U.S. social and economic structure\, and he later became a leader of the railroad workers\, the American Railroad Workers (ARW). He later ran for president as a Socialist.\nThe oligarchy that ran the U.S. then is obviously still in charge. This film charts why Debs became a Socialist and why he opposed war. He was jailed for his political views. While in prison\, Debs ran for president on the Socialist Party ticket\, and received over One million votes.\nWith the present oligarchy and endless wars\, the lessons of his struggle for today are relevant and important. His words are still invaluable\, and in his article\, Labor\, the Genius of Civilization\, he remarks; “Labor is the power that moves the world.” This is still the case.\nThe director Yale Strom will be attending for Q & A.

SUMMARY:SF Mime Troupe - Walls
DESCRIPTION:WALLS asks the question:How can a nation of immigrants declare war on immigration? The answer: FEAR!\nL. Mary Jones (Velina Brown) knows all about fear. As a top agent for I.C.E. – Immigration and Customs Enforcement – she knows how to stoke fear to keep her country safe. Fear of people like Bahdoon Samakab (Rotimi Agbabiaka)\, a Somali refugee escaping oppression\, fear of Cliodhna Aghabullogue (Lizzie Calogero)\, an Irish woman yearning to be American\, and fear of Zaniyah Nahuatl (Marilet Martinez)\, whose family comes from… here. As a foreigner in a land her people have worked for thousands of years\, Zaniyah is suddenly a criminal\, an illegal\, a “bad hombre.” What part of herself will this American give up to pass as “American?” Will she? Can she? Should she? Can someone leave part of themselves behind without losing their mind? And is it better or worse that she crossed the border to find Agent L. Mary Jones – the woman she loves?\nCheck other schedule at www.sfmt.org

SUMMARY:Internment\, Japanese Americans\, Labor And The Lessons For Today
DESCRIPTION:This year is the 75th anniversary of the internment of over 120\,000 Japanese Americans and Japanese Peruvians in concentration camps during World War II under the executive order of President Franklin D. Roosevelt.\nToday the Trump administration is justifying this action by arguing that it would be acceptable today for Muslims and other select groups be incarcerated again.This panel will look at the struggle against the internment and lessons for today with California historian Charles Wollenberg\, who is currently completing a book about civil rights attorney Wayne M. Collins. During the 1940s\, Collins bucked prejudice and war hysteria to take cases related to Japanese American evacuation and internment. Among others\, Collins defended Fred Korematsu\, a Japanese American citizen who refused to report for the camps and was imprisoned. The high profile Korematsu case reached the Supreme Court. Wollenberg’s talk is entitled “Wayne Collins: Rebel with a Cause.” In it\, Wollenberg will discuss Collins’ legal defense of Nikkei (second generation) rights and liberties\, including the Korematsu case. Author Laura Atkins\, who is co-author with Stan Yogi of “Fred Korematsu Speaks\,” will also discuss this important book for young people about the life of Fred Korematsu. Civil Rights Activist Grace Shimizu is Director of the Japanese Peruvian Oral History Project and the Campaign for Justice: Redress Now for Japanese Latin American Internees. She will speak about the ongoing fight for the Peruvian Japanese who were kidnapped from Peru by the FBI and brought to the United States to be used to trade for US prisoners of war. Panel member ILWU historian Harvey Schwartz has written about the role of the ILWU in fighting discrimination after the war against Japanese Americans. Larry Yamamoto\, Bay Area artist\, camp survivor\, and retired ILWU longshore worker\, will serve as commentator for the event.Peter Yamamoto of the National Japanese American Historical Society will chair the program. \n \nJuly 1\, 2017 “Internment\, Japanese Americans\, Labor and The Lessons for Today \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:Labor History Bike Tour
DESCRIPTION:(sliding scale $15 – $50) benefiting shaping San Francisco\nBy Chris Carlsson\nFrom the pre-urban history of Indian Slavery to the earliest 8-hour day movement in the U.S.\, the ebb and flow of class war is traced. SF’s radical working class organizations are shaped in part by racist complicity in genocide and slavery. From the 1870s to the 1940s there are dozens of epic battles between owners and workers\, culminating in the 1934 General Strike and its aftermath. This is an entirely different look\, during a four-hour bike tour\, at San Francisco labor history. For more information: (415) 608-9035\nhttp://shapingsf.org/tours.html
