As the members of the KY IWW regroup after a week of summits out west and in Louisville, we’re set to hold our next meeting at the newly renovated space at the Mammoth. Come on out, Thursday at 8 p.m., and discuss the upcoming Joe Hill Tour (dates for the first legs--midwest and west coast--of the tour have been announced) as well as our organizing and networking strategies for moving forward.
On the topic of organizing and networking, I want to send a big "thanks" the members of the Louisville and Philadelphia Socialists, as well as our fellow activists from Lexington and West Virginia, for coming out and holding an amazing organizing summit last week. A few wobblies attended and formed great working relationships with organizers throughout the Kentuckiana region and beyond. Seeing so many lefties in one place solidifies the notion that the way forward is through building these networks--both within your community and beyond it.
So keep an eye out for updates, and new events after the meeting. And also have both ears open for details on the May Day benefit concert being held by the Louisville Socialists (an answer to all the decadence and depravity of Derby, if you will). The group is raising funds for a city-wide solidarity network for Louisville, which is a project that's worth more than a little of our support.
