SUMMARY:Labor History Bike Tour
DESCRIPTION:By Chris Carlsson\n(Sliding scale $15 – 50\, benefiting Shaping San Francisco) \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. \nFrom 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. \nFor more information:\n(415) 608-9035\nhttp://shapingsf.org/tours.html

SUMMARY:1987: When The Day Comes
DESCRIPTION:FilmWorks United International Working Class Film & Video Festival \n1987: When The Day Comes – 2017 (129 min.) Directed by Joon-Hwan Jang (Korea) \nThe mass mobilization of millions of Korean workers and people to remove the reactionary corrupt government of Park Geun-hye last year was a victory for not just the Korean people but also people throughout the world. The Korean Confederation of Union (KCTU) played a critical role in helping to support and build this movement.\nThis dramatic film tells the story of the mass June democracy movement in 1987\, when students began to protest the military government\, and student activist Park Jong-chul was murdered by the police followed by a cover-up. The mobilization of the people in Korea eventually removed the military government. As there is a growing threat of dictatorship and mass repression in the United States\, this film provides a powerful story of how people can organize and defend themselves. \n

SUMMARY:Beyond the Controversy: The George Washington High School Murals and the Removal of Public Art
DESCRIPTION:The controversy over the Victor Arnautoff murals at George Washington High School brings to San Francisco the public discourse over public art that is interpreted to portray\, or actually glorifies\, a narrow Eurocentric view of history. This panel will open with a brief visual presentation on both the Arnautoff murals and the multicultural murals painted in response to them in the early 1970s and then discuss their interpretation and effective culturally-sensitive ways to educate through art. It will also explore how the contemporary mural movement portrays provocative themes and how to preserve progressive public art from censorship. The panel will include Robert Cherny (Arnautoff biographer)\, Lope Yap\, Jr. (Washington High Alumni Association)\, Dewey Crumpler (painter of the 1971 murals at the George Washington High School)\, and Tamaka Bailey (a member of the Oklahoma Choctaw Nation). The panel will be moderated by Harvey Smith (Living New Deal and National New Deal Preservation Association).\n\nClick here to watch – Arnautoff Presentations: Beyond The Controversy: The GWGS  & The Removal of Public Art (7/9/19 Presentation) \nfor further information:\nDestroying Arnautoff Murals As Payment For “Reparations”?

SUMMARY:The Gig Economy\, AI\, Robotics\, Workers and Dystopia San Francisco
DESCRIPTION:San Francisco is now a world center of tech\, yet the workers\, whether UBER-Lyft drivers or a growing number of gig workers\, are under extreme stress and face nightmare conditions with no worker or union rights.

SUMMARY:The US & Global Fight Against Privatization & Outsourcing
DESCRIPTION:The destruction of our public services and privatization of public education is a serious issue for all working people. The US Post Office\, Social Security\, the FAA\, NRC\, and many other Federal and State agencies are threatened with privatization and outsourcing.\nIn San Francisco\, the privatization of SF City jobs and the outsourcing of public jobs at UCSF and UC is an ongoing battle for workers and their unions.\nThis conference will discuss how workers from all public service unions can come together for education and a national political education campaign to stop privatization and outsourcing.\nThis is not just a US issue but a critical issue as well for working people throughout the world.

SUMMARY:The Building & Labor Struggles at Fort Point
DESCRIPTION:Walk with Matthew Brittin (Fort Point Guide)\nFort Point in San Francisco was built by the US military between 1853 and the 1860’s as a seacoast defense site. At the same time\, construction was taking place of what was to become Fort Alcatraz. While this construction was moving forward\, laborers were under attack. In the midst of civil war in 1863\, a telegram from Washington was read to the laborers cutting their pay. After hearing the telegram\, the workers walked out at Fort Point and Alcatraz. This was one of the only labor actions during the Civil War in California\, and with the shortage of labor construction workers at the time\, laborers were able to make major gains in wages and conditions. The issue of housing and pay led to unrest\, a work stoppage\, and an eventual strike on all defense projects in the Bay.\nParticipants of the walk will learn about the construction of Fort Point and Alcatraz through the eyes of the those who did the work.\nhttps://www.nps.gov/fopo/index.htm \n  \nDirection:\nBy car from San Francisco and points south\, take Highway 101 north and exit right at the Golden Gate Bridge toll plaza before getting on bridge. Turn right at end of exit ramp and then left onto Lincoln Boulevard. Take the first left onto Long Avenue and follow onto Marine Drive. Fort Point is located at the end of Marine Drive.\nBy car from the north\, take Highway 101 across the Golden Gate Bridge. Stay in right toll lane and exit immediately past the Bridge toll plaza. Turn right at end of exit ramp and loop under toll plaza. At end of road\, turn left onto Lincoln Boulevard. Take the first left onto Long Avenue and follow onto Marine Drive.

SUMMARY:Coit Tower Mural Walk
DESCRIPTION:With Peter O’Driscoll and Harvey Smith\nIn the past few years\, there has been a growing community effort to defend the Coit Tower murals from leaking water and to stop plans for privatization of the site. This led to the critical renovation of the murals on their 80th anniversary. They were being painted during the time of the 1934 general strike in San Francisco. LaborFest will hold its annual guided tour of the murals with Peter O’Driscoll and Harvey Smith. At the time of their installation\, an organized effort was made to destroy them because of their leftist themes. The artists and their supporters had to physically defend the site. The murals were successfully defended and we have them today as our heritage. The artists were working under the Civil Works Administration and Public Works of Art program\, which was later extended to many buildings and sites throughout the U.S. \n

SUMMARY:1919: 100th Anniversary of Seattle General Strike
DESCRIPTION:With Robert Orvetz\, Gifford Hartman\nThis year is the 100th anniversary of the Seattle General Strike. Today\, the call for general strikes has again been taken up by Sara Nelson\, the leader of the CWA-AFA\, and ATU VP Bruce Hamilton.\nThe general strike in Seattle involved over 65\,000 workers. The strike\, which lasted for six day unlike the San Francisco General Strike\, non-violent without attacks on striking workers. The strike movement began in the shipyards in January 1919\, and on February 3\, 2019\, the Seattle Central Labor Council called for all unions to join in a general strike. The general strike started on Thursday\, February 6\, 2019. On February 7\, US troops entered Seattle. That did not end the strike\, but the strike did end before the strikers’ demands were met.\nHistorians Robert Ovetz\, educator and author of “When Workers Shot Back: Class Conflict from 1877 to 1921\,” will be joined by Gifford Hartman\, an adult educator and working class historian\, will discuss the lessons of that strike and other mass working class actions\, including the great steel strike in Ohio\, the coal strike in Indiana County\, and the Winnepeg general strike. Over 4 million workers participated in strikes during 1919.

SUMMARY:Brother Outsider
DESCRIPTION:FilmWorks United International Working Class Film & Video Festival \nBrother Outsider – 2003 (83 min.) By Nancy Kates\, Bennett Singer \nLong before Martin Luther King\, Jr. became a national figure\, Bayard Rustin routinely put his body — and his life — on the line as a crusader for racial justice. Rustin’s commitment to pacifism and his visionary advocacy of Gandhian nonviolence made him a pioneer in the 1940s\, and captured King’s imagination in the 1950s. In 1963\, with more than 20 years of organizing experience behind him\, Rustin brought his unique skills to the crowning glory of his civil rights career: his work organizing the historic March on Washington\, the biggest protest America had ever witnessed.\nBut Rustin was also seen as a political liability. He was openly gay during the fiercely homophobic era of the 40s and 50s; as a result\, he was frequently shunned by the very civil rights movement he helped create. The compelling new film Brother Outsider: The Life of Bayard Rustin chronicles Rustin’s complex life story\, a tale of race\, prejudice\, and idealism at the heart of 20th century America. Though he had to overcome the stereotypes associated with being an illegitimate son\, an African American\, a gay man and a one-time member of the Communist Party\, Rustin — the ultimate outsider — eventually became a public figure and respected political insider. He not only shaped civil rights movement strategy as a longtime advisor to Martin Luther King\, Jr.\, but was known and respected by numerous U.S. Presidents and foreign leaders.\nThe screening will be followed by audience Q&A. \nSponsored by Gray Panthers

SUMMARY:Privatization\, the Port of Oakland and Labor
DESCRIPTION:San Francisco used to be the largest port in Northern California. Over the last forty years\, it has become a tourist trap instead of a working port. Is the same thing in store for the Port of Oakland?\nThe Oakland A’s baseball team\, which is owned by John Fisher\, who owns the GAP Corporation in San Francisco\, wants to turn the Howard Terminal into a stadium\, and build 4\,000 $1 million dollar condos to finance the project.\nHoward Terminal is a staging area for truckers\, so they can stay off the streets of Oakland\, and also is used for training of ILWU Local 10 longshore workers. There is a battle now shaping up about this development\, and how it will affect maritime jobs as well as the gentrification of the historic African American community in West Oakland.\nFisher and his family also run the KIPP and Rocketship charter school chains\, which is pushing privatization of education in San Francisco\, Oakland\, and throughout the country. \nInitial Speakers: Gabriel Prawl\, ILWU Local 52 President Seattle\, Clarence Thomas\, ILWU Local 10 Secretary Treasurer\, retired; Jack Heyman\, ILWU Local 10 former business agent \n \nClick here to watch the presentation

SUMMARY:The Nightmare Transit Gridlock\, Workers\, Privatization and Mass Transit
DESCRIPTION:Can it get any worse? That is the question working people are asking about the transit crisis and grinding gridlock. The entry of tens of thousands of Uber/Lyft cars into San Francisco and the Bay Area have added to the gridlock and created budget crisis for public transit systems like BART\, which is now losing money on trips to the Oakland Airport and SFO. While the number of Tech billionaires is growing\, they are not paying for the transit crisis. Instead\, politicians are pushing more regressive taxes on working people and the public.\nThe forum will look at the reason for the transit gridlock\, how it effecting public transit workers\, the public and the environment.\nPanel: Sue Vaughan\, Public Transit and Environmental Activist; Roger Marenco\, TWU 250a President; Edward Escobar\, the Alliance of Independent Workers; Peter Miller\, SFTEA Taxi Workers

SUMMARY:Sorry To Bother You
DESCRIPTION:FilmWorks United International Working Class Film & Video Festival \nSorry To Bother You – 2018 (112 min.) Directed by Boots Riley \nThe future is here and it isn’t pretty\, is part of the story in Boots Riley’s “Sorry To Bother You”. Young workers in the tech economy face a dire state\, and this film shows how with ideology of capitalism\, that you as an individual\, can make it even if you have to run over other workers.\nThe dog eat dog dystopian world we live in\, with its billionaires and the thousands of homeless in the streets\, is the backdrop of this film as it shows life in Oakland.\nThe film also shows the lives and music of youth in Oakland as they struggle to survive\, and the business methods of telemarketing. What is different about this film is that it shows that it is only the struggle for unionization and collective power that can transform the reality for working people\, and this is part of the ideological struggle against the owners and bosses.\nIn the struggle for unionization of and for unity of all workers regardless of race\, nationality and sexual orientation is Riley\, who has been publicly arguing for a general strike for many years. He is now being joined by top union leaders who are making similar calls against the government shutdown by Trump and to defend the climate. His film has a relevance that makes it even timelier and it connects with the daily lives of tens of millions of young people who are struggling for a future.\nFollowing the film there will be a discussion. \nClick here to watch Boots Riley’s introduction of the film for LaborFest
