Racism, Labor And White Supremacy

At: ILWU Local 10 Henry Schmidt Room, 400 North Point St., San Francisco

(Presentation)

This panel will look at the historic struggle against white supremacy in the labor movement and the growth of fascism in the US today.  There has been an escalation of hanging noose incidents and racist attacks in the workplace and community. It will look at how unions like the ILWU have fought systemic racism by direct action and the jobs and the growing threat of a fascist government and  what unions and working people need to do to confront this deadly danger and the threat of civil war.

Speakers:
Clarence Thomas – ILWU 10 Secretary Treasurer Retired
Chris Silvera – IBT 808, New York
