POLITICAL HIGHS, ECONOMIC LOWS:

Featuring GARY YOUNGE

 

Author of "No Place Like Home:

A Black Briton's Journey Through the Deep South"

Gary Younge, born in Britain to immigrant parents from Barbados, observes U.S. politics from a unique vantage point. His remarks will be followed by an hour for questions and discussion. Gary's recent columns include:

"It's about to get nasty: Obama's movement better get moving":

"Bonus Outrage: Class Struggle or Class Envy?":  http://www.thenation.com/doc/20090413/younge 

Gary's bio is here: http://www.nationinstitute.org/bios/gary_younge

Like previous events sponsored by this Ad Hoc Committee, this program is aimed at fostering dialogue and debate among leftists who see themselves operating within the left-wing-of-the-Obama-motion political space. If there are people sharing this broad viewpoint who you believe would be interested in participating in this conversation, we encourage you to extend this invitation to them.

Thanks and we hope to see you April 30.

Ad-Hoc Committee: Carl Bloice, Linda Burnham, Max Elbaum, Michelle Foy, Juan Lopez, Calvin Miaw, Giuliana Milanese, Maria Poblet, Tim Thomas, Mei-ying Williams, Steve Williams

The event is free and no one will be turned away for lack of funds, but we will be accepting donations to cover the costs of the event.
