Labor Power Can Beat Facism

Our national organization, the American Ethical Union, is sponsoring this talk.  This Labor Day, the outlook for organized labor power in America is grim. Already, the Trump administration has decimated the federal work force, torn up union contracts, broken our system of labor law enforcement, and pushed us down the road to fascism and oligarchy. Despite all that, however, one fundamental, structural truth has not changed: Labor power is still one of the only things that can pull us back from this precipice. What would that look like?

The talk will be given by Hamilton Nolan.  Hamilton Nolan is an author and journalist who writes about labor, politics, and class war. He has written for Gawker, In These Times, The Guardian, and many other publications. Today, he runs his own site, How Things Work, at HamiltonNolan.com. In 2015, he and his colleagues made Gawker Media the first major online media company in America to unionize. Hamilton has remained a union activist ever since. He is the author of the 2024 book, The Hammer: Power, Inequality, and the Struggle for the Soul of Labor. He lives in Brooklyn.
