Join the City Heights Branch of the International Socialist Organization in our discussion of the 1970 wildcat strike by U.S. postal workers.

In response to the global capitalist crisis, governments around the world are proposing austerity measures -- tuition hikes, raises in the retirement ages, cuts in social services -- while bailing out banks and other corporations. These attacks on working class standards of living have been met with massive resistance in Ireland, Italy, Greece, Portugal, France, and England. Join the discussion as we explore the significance of these massive strikes and demonstrations, and the implications for American working class and student resistance in the US and internationally.

 This Week (October 28) we will be discussing:

• Strike Revolt in France
• What do we say about Prop 19?: Evaluating criticisms from the left.
• The San Diego Coalition for Peace and Justice - Palestine Statement and ISO participation
