Class war comes to the U.S.

An open discussion on the topic "Not Just Politics as Usual: Class War Comes to the U.S." will be held in Woodstock on Tuseday, March 29, at 7:00PM.

From the flier for the event: "In Congress, in state after state, an unprecedented assault on the lives and wellbeing of ordinary working people has been unleashed under the cover of faux populism. Backed by powerful interests with unlimited resources and both an unparallel media operation of their own and an otherwise acquiescent media, gains long thought secure are under fire in a brilliantly coordinated campaign. In the cross hairs are not only unionized workers but women, minorities, immigrants, the disabled, the elderly, and the children. A tiny plutocracy wins at the expense of the rest of us. And when we have the audacity to complain they charge US with class war! How can we best respond? Are the conventional tools of politics, petition, and 'respectful protest' enough?"

This event is sponsored by the Social Justice Committee of the Unitarian Universalist Congregational Church and will be held at 221 Dean Street, Woodstock. The program will be moderated by Patrick Murfin.
