NUCLEAR WARHEAD  --  CARTOON AND COMMENTARY BY ROB ROGERS 

 

_Whether you're talking about the East Wing, the rule of law,
democracy or health care, Trump seems bent on destruction. Now he
wants to resume nuclear testing. What could go wrong?_

RE: WAGE STAGNATION VS. LIVING WAGES FOR U.S. WORKERS TODAY

(posting on xxxxxx Labor
[[link removed]]) 

Don't I know it. I'm a nurse and I remember a 4 year contract a few
years back where our "raises" were 1.5%, 1%, 0.5% and 0.5%. When
compared to inflation, it was the same as taking a pay cut every
single year.

RE: SOCIALISM OR BARBARISM 

Eric Ross's piece on American Left history
[[link removed]]
leaves out a lot, naturally. But we can't understand that history
without acknowledging the Communist Party. Every progressive movement
drew some strength from it. Its real organizing power offered more
than inspiration, from labor and the unemployed to civil rights to
women's rights to the fight against fascism. Even the LGBTQ movement,
which the CP did not anticipate and originally scorned, was birthed by
party member Harry Hay. We shouldn't be afraid to face the party's
historical failings, but neither should we 'dare not speak its name'.

MAMDANI  --  CARTOON AND COMMENTARY BY ROB ROGERS 

_Trump inserted himself into the NYC mayor's race with a last-ditch
endorsement of Cuomo on Monday night. It must burn him that his birth
city voted for a democratic socialist._

TOGETHER'S LEADERS IN NEW YORK CITY - NOVEMBER 12

SAINT ANN'S HOLY TRINITY CHURCH, 157 MONTAGUE STREET, BROOKLYN

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 12TH

6:30 PM

Join Sally Abed and Alon-Lee Green, leaders of Standing Together
[[link removed]] — the largest
grassroots movement of Jewish and Palestinian citizens of Israel —
in conversation with NYC Comptroller Brad Lander on Wednesday,
November 12th at St. Ann’s in Brooklyn.

They’ll discuss the urgent fight to end the occupation and build a
just peace after the fragile ceasefire — and how grassroots
movements can stand up to authoritarianism in Israel and the U.S.
alike.

NOVEMBER 14 - 16  (CIRCLE PINES CENTER)

Take the momentum from the No Kings Rallies and the recent elections
and join us at our new Organizing Institute at Circle Pines Center!

2025 

AND 

Organizers Conference WeekendNovember 21st-23rd, 2025

JOIN US FOR ONE WEEKEND OR BOTH!
 
Circle Pines Center is creating the CPC Organizing Institute because
we recognize the need to network with organizations providing
organizing skills to disinvested and marginalized populations as well
as young adults. We have an extensive facility and campground on 275
acres 35 minutes from Kalamazoo, MI that is making an effort to
network with young adult activists in the region.
 
We aspire to create tangible programming to build trust with
systemically and institutionally marginalized communities in Southwest
Michigan and the wider midwest region. There are a number of program
opportunities for young adults and youth in social justice organizing
skills but none that focus on training organizers to be trainers
themselves.
 
Our CPC Organizing institute will run on a pilot basis for two
weekends in November of 2025 providing training and networking
opportunities for regional activists. We have sourced professional
trainers to create and assist with this pilot program and will provide
cutting edge training for all participants.
