SUMMARY:Film- Harry Bridges: A Man and His Union (1992-59min)  By Berry Minnott
DESCRIPTION:Film starts 6:00 PM\, panel starts 7:00 PM.\nYou can watch the film by clicking below on youtube anytime prior to the panel discussion.\nHarry Bridges: A Man and His Union \nHarry Bridges\, A Man and His Union is the most important video on the life and struggle of ILWU founder Harry Bridges.\nThe ILWU broke from the corrupt mob-controlled ILA and launched a strike in San Francisco. The democratic structure of the ILWU allowed the rank and file to have not only a voice but also control of their union. That democratic structure and their politics is one of the reasons the US government tried to deport Bridges five times.\nThe ILUW was one of only two unions that survived the anti-communist witch-hunts in the 40’s and 50’s and it continues to put principles and their membership’s first.\nPanel following the video. \nPanelists:\nGifford Hartman\, Labor Historian\nRobert Ovetz\, author of When Workers Shot Back\, editor of  Workers’ Inquiry and Global Class Struggle

SUMMARY:“Hold These Truths” written by Jeanne Sakata
DESCRIPTION:A Solo Play by Jomar Tagatac Inspired by the Life of Gordon Hirabayashi who defied 1942 executive order. \nIn the midst of escalating racist\, xenophobic and Islamophobic attacks in the US\, a new play “Hold These Truths” by writer Jeanne Sakata is being performed at the San Francisco Playhouse.\nStarring Jomar Tagatac and directed by Jeffrey Lo\, this play portrays the life and struggle of Gordon Hirabayashi of Seattle who refused to obey President Franklin Roosevelt’s 1942 Executive Order 9066 forcing over 120\,000 Japanese Americans\, Japanese Peruvians and Japanese into concentration camps or “relocation camps”. The Peruvian Japanese who had been kidnapped by the FBI in Peru were to be used as exchange prisoners with the Japanese government. They were also never compensated.\nThis travesty of justice\, the violation of human rights\, and the lessons of it are even more relevant today. While not jailing Muslims in mass\, Trump is the most virulent racist and xenophobic president of the United States in modern history. He and his supporters also whipped up a racist hysteria and threw thousands of children and family members into ICE jails.\nThis propaganda and hysteria continues today\, and this play shows how it effected Gordon Hirabayashi and many others. As a result of this hysteria and growing attacks on China as well\, Asian Americans are under a growing racist assault in this country.\nThe lessons of history are very relevant today for working people and the every person in the United States. The play will be at the San Francisco Play house from June 17 to July 3 either live or by video. \n  \nTickets: $15 to $100\nJuly 1 (Thursday) 7:00 PMJuly 2 (Friday) 8:00 PMJuly 3 (Saturday) 3:00 PM (This is the last day)At: San Francisco Playhouse450 Post St.\, SFSfplayhouse.org 415-677-9596For more informationSan Francisco Playhousehttps://www.sfplayhouse.org/sfph/2020-2021-season/hold-these-truths/ \n

SUMMARY:Film-The Gig Economy (2020-67min) by Keif Roberts
DESCRIPTION:Film starts 7:00\, Q&A and discussion starts 8:15 PM \nThe director\, Keif Roberts\, will introduce the film and participate in a Q&A. \n‘Be your own boss’ and ‘Work when and where you want’.  The gig economy promises freedom\, flexibility and entrepreneurship to workers\, but does it deliver?  More than one third of Americans work in the gig economy.  This alarming fact opens the recent documentary and journey of discovery by award-winning filmmaker Keif Roberts.  THE GIG ECONOMY is a head first dive into the precarious new world of app based work. Going on the job with workers and interviewing leading authors and scholars\, THE GIG ECONOMY illuminates the perils and promise of the on-demand economy. Although piecemeal\, transitory and temp work has been around for a long time\, THE GIG ECONOMY identifies what is new and unique about this work today\, the app and along with it\, the algorithmic manager. Far from a fad\, gig work is the future of work.

SUMMARY:BIPOC Artists: Labor\, Cultural Production\, and the Emotional Cost of Political Art
DESCRIPTION:  \n9:30 – 10:00 Slide show of some of the street art documented by the urban mapping team.\n10:00 Panel discussion starts. \nThis panel\, consisting of a conversation between Urban Art Mapping researchers and visual artists active in Minneapolis\, reflects on art\, activism\, and healing following the murder of George Floyd in May 2020. The uprisings that emerged in the summer of 2020 have been seen as a breaking point not just for Minneapolis\, but also for the country as a whole. There was\, and continues to be\, a breaking open and unearthing of how deeply embedded and concealed racism thrives in the Midwest and with that\, a reckoning in progress. Minneapolis has prided itself on being immensely rich in resources and in the summer of 2020\, efforts to support and ensure BIPOC (Black Indigenous People of Color) artists were included in these opportunities was prioritized. What accounts for this historic imbalance in the Twin Cities art scene? What does it mean to produce public murals about communal pain while also trying to care for oneself? What are the lasting changes that must be implemented to support BIPOC artists in the future? Our panel seeks to answer these questions and more with three Minneapolis based BIPOC artists and muralists as they share in conversation their experiences of creating work during a physically and emotionally demanding summer. \nUrban Art Mapping is an interdisciplinary research team studying graffiti and street art created in response to the murder of George Floyd and systemic racism more broadly. Recognizing the important role that street art plays in the uprising\, Urban Art Mapping’s crowd-sourced database documents all forms of art in urban spaces\, including stickers\, graffiti\, plywood panels\, and murals.

SUMMARY:Labor History Bike Tour by Chris Carlsson
DESCRIPTION:Labor History Bike Tour by Chris Carlsson (Donation to Shaping San Francisco) (Limited capacity\, RSVP required. Please contact: shaping@foundsf.org \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\, but 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.\nFor more information: (415) 608-9035

SUMMARY:Film- The War At Home I: Rebellion (2020\, 104 min) By Scott Noble
DESCRIPTION:Film starts 7:00\, Q&A and discussion at 8:45 \nThe director Scott Noble will introduce the film and participate in a Q&A.\nScott Noble’s latest documentary series\, THE WAR AT HOME\, takes a hard look into the history of American labor movements and state and corporate repression of those movements.  Part I of THE WAR AT HOME series\, REBELLION\, chronicles the years from 1886 to 1919 when Americans in large numbers around the country waged an organized rebellion against prominent corporations.  During this foundational period\, countless labor actions seeking better wages and benefits\, job security\, safer working conditions\, an end to child labor\, the 8 hour work day and an end to corporate rule were often led by anarchists\, socialists and the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW).  Although state and corporate interests responded to labor actions with intimidation and violence during this time with the goal of destabilizing all labor movements\, big gains for organized labor continued until the beginning of World War I.  Part I: REBELLION details the multiple actions taken by the Federal government and corporate sector during WWI to ideologically undermine earlier and important victories of labor.  Passage of the Military Service Act (1916) imposing unpopular conscription\, the Immigration Act (1917) used to expel or exclude ‘undesirables’ from the USA\, the Espionage Act (1917) seeking to limit freedom of speech\, the Sedition Act (1918)\, which expanded limitations on speech and the implementation of a national media campaign to equate the labor movement with Anti-American values\, formed a solid backlash whose goal was simple:  The destruction of labor unions\, the jailing of labor and worker activists\, the censoring and even the elimination of voices struggling for the rights of working people in America. \n

SUMMARY:1934 San Francisco General Strike – Walk & Presentation by Gifford Hartman
DESCRIPTION:Meet at the south column at Harry Bridge’s Plaza (across from the Ferry Building) \nBy Gifford Hartman\nEighty-seven years ago a great battle took place between striking workers and the police and National Guard along the waterfront alongside the piers of San Francisco’s Embarcadero. We will look at the causes of the 1934 General Strike\, why it was successful\, and how the issues from that strike are still relevant to working class people today. The current movement against police murder of black and brown people can draw lessons from the way strikers invited black workers into their ranks to prevent racist exclusion from breaking their strike. We explain how an 83-day West Coast Waterfront Strike exploded into the 4-day General Strike that paralyzed all commerce in San Francisco. This tour will visit the sites of those events.

SUMMARY:Film- The War at Home II: Blacklist and Labor (2021\, 120 min) by Scott Noble
DESCRIPTION:Film starts 7:00\, Q&A with the film director Scott Noble starts 9:00 PM\nPART II: BLACKLIST AND LABOR uses a convincing voice over\, archival non-fiction and narrative footage and interviews to articulate the history and politics of the period.  What emerges is a compelling argument for a calculated and wide spread manipulation and shaping of public opinion by state and corporate interests designed to silence voices demanding rights for working American. The goal was simple:  The destruction of labor unions\, the discrediting\, blacklisting and jailing of labor and worker activists\, the censoring and even the elimination of voices struggling for the rights of working people in America. \n

SUMMARY:Book reading “Mobilizing in OUR OWN NAME: Million Worker March” by Clarence Thomas
DESCRIPTION:Book reading “Mobilizing in OUR OWN NAME: Million Worker March” by Clarence Thomas – at ILWU 10 hall – 400 N. Point St.\, SF Henry Schmidt room\nToday’s workers can no longer continue to depend on politicians to address issues of systemic racism\, income inequality\, corporate greed\, workers rights\, universal health care\, slashing the military budget\, and ending the murder of African Americans and people of color by police. The initiators of the Million Worker March (MWM) understood this which is why they challenged the Democratic Party and others to organize the MWM. This anthology is about radical African American trade unionists from one of the most renowned radical labor organizations in the world\, the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) Local 10\, which defied the Democratic Party and the AFL-CIO\, and mobilized the MWM on October 17\, 2004 at the Lincoln Memorial. The writer understands that now more than ever workers around the world must act in unity in our own interests. Workers must build an international rank-and-file fight-back movement to defend the rights of workers internationally to achieve economic security and a peaceful world. The MWM called for an independent mobilization of working people\, with a workers agenda\, to address the unrestrained class warfare by the captains of capital. This historic event\, which was viewed on C-Span\, attracted thousands of workers\, immigrant rights groups\, anti-war activists\, community organizations\, social movements\, youth\, and trade unionists from around the world. This anthology captures radical workers’ actions and struggles written by activists as those events were happening through news articles\, interviews\, photos\, posters\, leaflets\, and video transcripts. Through these documents\, the story is told of the MWM Movement\, its roots\, and the branches that have grown from it mobilizing in our own name. It is intended to create a historic account and give impetus to the struggle ahead. \n

DESCRIPTION:Black workers have faced continual racist attacks on the job in San Francisco and throughout the country. A couple years ago in San Francisco\, hundreds of  workers spoke out at SF City Hall about the verbal and even physical racist attacks.
