5/20 Presentation: Immigration, Workers and the U.S. Empire

Open University of the Left presents on Saturday May 20, 2:00PM at IN These Times 2040 N. Milwaukee Ave. Chicago. Immigration, Workers and the U.S. Empire presented by Professor Kim Scipes.
Sociology Professor at Purdue University North Central Campus and long-time global labor activist Kim Scipes will discuss how the accelerating and increasing number of immigrant workers and their massive demonstrations affect workers in this country. How does the current political socio-economic environment affect our perception of these events? Can Left/Progressives forge alliances with these immigrant groups and build a sustainable mass movement to affect the real social changes that our country desperately needs?

Kim is a frequent contributor to Monthly Review, Z-Net, Labor Notes, and other publications and Web sites. A true scholar-activist he has shared his incisive commentary on political and social trends with OUL in the past and we are pleased to welcome him back.
