FREE MOVIE SCREENING - WOBBLIES! (Event Over)

Socialist Party USA (NYC) - Liberation Film Series

FREE SCREENING & MAY DAY CELEBRATION

WOBBLIES!

After attending the big May Day march at 4p in Union Square come out to the Socialist Party’s monthly Liberation Film Series!  

The Wobblies were a powerful group of anarcho-syndicalists who helped unionize the beaten-down workforce in America, setting up some of the most powerful unions the country has ever seen. This documentary from 1979 takes a look at the Wobblies' activities, which often involved brutal physical fights and imprisonment as they fought for justice. Their revolutionary ways were highly successful and the lasting effects of the changes they battled for are still felt in the workplace today.
