Taking Sides: Revolutionary Solidarity and the Poverty of Liberalism

Our book for March is Taking Sides: Revolutionary Solidarity and the Poverty of Liberalism Edited by Cindy Milstein.  It is a collection of articles; some of which you may have already read!

Cindy (and possibly Michael) will join us for a critical discussion in C-U on March 22nd at 7:00pm in Red Herring Vegetarian Restaurant (1209 W. Oregon St. Urbana)

Our discussion will be followed by a casual open mic and refreshments.
