SUMMARY:Sunday Platform with Hamilton Nolan: How the Labor Movement Can Save America (and Why It Hasn't Yet)
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public\, in-person and online! \nAmerica’s 50-year-long rise in economic inequality is the big crisis underlying most of our nation’s social and political problems. Organized labor is the single most effective tool that regular people can use to reverse this inequality. Yet labor unions have been on the decline for decades. Can the labor movement seize its current moment of popularity as an opportunity to rebuild worker power and revive the American dream? Yes. But will it? That’s up to us. \nNov. 3 Access Notice: Due to the NYC Marathon Central Park West will be closed\, and all in-person attendees must enter our block at the intersection of Broadway and W 64th St. Please expect crowded sidewalks and allow yourself extra time to arrive. \nAbout Hamilton’s new book\, The Hammer: Power\, Inequality\, and the Struggle for the Soul of Labor’: \nA timely\, in-depth\, and vital exploration of the American labor movement and its critical place in our society and politics today\, from acclaimed labor reporter Hamilton Nolan. \nInequality is America’s biggest problem. Unions are the single strongest tool that working people have to fix it. Organized labor has been in decline for decades. Yet it sits today at a moment of enormous opportunity. In the wake of the pandemic\, a highly visible wave of strikes and new organizing campaigns have driven the popularity of unions to historic highs. The simmering battle inside of the labor movement over how to tap into its revolutionary potential—or allow it to be squandered—will determine the economic and social course of American life for years to come. \nIn chapters that span the country\, Nolan shows readers the actual places where labor and politics meld. He highlights how organized labor can and does wield power effectively: a union that dominates Las Vegas and is trying to scale nationally; a successful decades-long campaign to organize California’s child care workers; the human face of a surprising strike of factory workers trying to preserve their pathway to the middle class. Throughout\, Nolan follows Sara Nelson\, the fiery and charismatic head of the flight attendants’ union\, as she struggles with how (and whether) to assert herself as a national leader\, to try to fix what is broken. The Hammer draws the line from forgotten workplaces in rural West Virginia to Washington’s halls of power and shows how labor solidarity can utterly transform American politics—if it can first transform itself. \nA labor journalist for more than a decade\, Nolan helped unionize his own industry. The Hammer is a urgent on-the-ground excavation of the past\, present\, and future of the American labor movement. \nWatch Online\nRSVP Here to Join Via Zoom \nAbout Hamilton Nolan\nHamilton Nolan is a labor journalist who writes regularly for In These Times magazine and The Guardian. He has written about labor\, politics\, and class war for The New York Times\, the Washington Post\, Gawker\, Splinter\, and other publications. He was the longest-serving writer in Gawker’s history\, and was a leader in unionizing Gawker Media in 2015. Hamilton is a proud member of the Writers Guild of America\, East. He lives in Brooklyn. \nMonthly Collection\nMarch for Our Lives \nAbout Sunday Platform\nSunday Platform is our most important and long-standing community event.

SUMMARY:Ethics at Ethical: 'The Philosophy of Ethics\, Pt. III' with Joe Chuman (Online)
