“In case you needed a reminder that ordinary people have the power to change history, and have many times over, check out Working Class History.”
—Tom Morello, co-founder of Rage Against the Machine
“Working Class History is broader than unions and job struggles; rather, it includes all emancipatory acts of working-class people, be they Indigenous peoples fighting for land rights, African Americans massively protesting against police killings, anticolonial liberation movements, women rising up angry, or mass mobilizations worldwide against imperialist wars. It is international in scope, as is the working class.”
—Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, author of An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States
“Working Class History has hit upon a novel way to communicate our shared history to a new generation of budding radicals and working-class revolutionaries. They make it clear that today’s victories build upon yesterday’s struggles, and that, in order to push forward into the liberated, equitable future we want, we must remember how far we’ve come—and reckon with how much further there is to go.”
—Kim Kelly, journalist and labour columnist at Teen Vogue
