[OccupyCU] Todd May Lecture 3/15

[jeanie austin]

Thanks, Rachel!

REAP will also be bringing Crimethinc. to talk about their new book (Work)
on March 12th (Monday) in Greg Hall Room 319 from 7 pm to 9 pm.  Details
below

Crimethinc Presents: Capitalism and Resistance in the 21st Century!!

After so much technological progress, why do we have to work more than ever
before? Why does the old labor movement seem to be powerless to stop the
new assault on workers? Can capitalism survive another century of crises?
And how do we get out of this mess?
Join us for a high-energy discussion of these questions and more. We'll
focus on the ways capitalism has changed over the past few decades, and
scrutinize recent examples of resistance in the US and overseas to propose
anti-capitalist strategies for the 21st century.
