For the last six weeks, workers at a specialty food distributor in Brooklyn have been organizing with the IWW Food and Allied Workers Union(IU460/640) to improve the horrible conditions in their workplace. Faced with working conditions that are reminiscent of 1916 when the shop began its business, these workers receive no overtime pay while routinely working 50 to 60 plus hours a week, enjoy no paid leave of any kind, and are routinely sent home without pay for minor infractions. Tired of this abuse, the workers have put aside their fears of retaliation and have chosen to fight back! The workers have organized with the IWW, and there's now an impressive union majority among the 25 workers at the shop. The IWW is asking all members and supporters to come out and support our newest shop as they confront their boss this Monday. We will be maintaining a picket all day to support the workers and to show the boss the strength of our solidarity.

From Tuesday, August 7 until Monday, August 13, all of the the profits from sales at my online shop at half.com will go to 'Fifth Estate'.

Almost 150 new and used books (including many titles from Black & Red press) are available now at http://shops.half.ebay.com/spencerbrooklyn.

The next meta-meeting will be Thursday, August 16th at 630-830pm
at the Muste Room, 339 Lafayette (at Bleecker)

All are invited as the Nuts and Bolts working group meets to discuss the practical aspects of operating our social revolutionary organization.

We will meet at 6:30PM Tuesday 8/21 at the Odessa Cafe, 117 Ave A.

This year is the 80th anniversary of the judicial murder of Italian
anarchists Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, one of the most
notorious miscarriages of justice in the history of the US. NYC’s
Libertarian Book Club is organizing a Sacco & Vanzetti Memorial for
Thur., Aug. 23 in Union Square. Thus far: We have a permit for the
memorial, and have booked St. Joseph’s Church on Sixth Avenue for a
teach-in the prior evening. The two events will include:

This Saturday, August 25th, there will be a benefit party to raise money for two community groups in Sunset Park, the SPEAC School Planning Team and SPAN.

SPAN (Sunset Park Alliance of Neighbors) is a group of community members organizing around issues of over-development and gentrification.

Ursula Le Guin: "The Dispossessed"

An anarchist science fiction classic. "Centuries ago, the moon Anarres was settled by utopian anarchists who left the Earthlike planet Urras in search of a better world, a new beginning. Now a brilliant physicist, Shevek, determines to reunite the two civilizations that have been separated by hatred since long before he was born. The Dispossessed is a penetrating examination of society and humanity -- and one man's brave undertaking to question the unquestionable and ignite the fires of change."
