Trotskyism vs. Social Democracy and Anarcho-Liberalism
The Left, Labor and Occupy

Six months after Occupy Wall Street began – when a few hundred people sparked worldwide protest with a march and sit-in in lower Manhattan against political corruption and corporate greed – OWS was back. And four months after Occupy encampments were brutally evicted around the country, the police were there to greet them. Demonstrators chanted “this is what democracy looks like” as cops dragged scores out of Zuccotti Park in downtown Manhattan. More accurate would have been “this is what a police state looks like.” At the same time, the sharpening internal contradictions within the Occupy movement were also on display.

Denver Takes Chipotle's "Food With Integrity" to Task
Submitted by strongwindsahead on December 2, 2007 - 12:29pmDenver Takes Chipotle's "Food With Integrity" to Task

December 1, 2007
After repeated attempts to talk with Chipotle representatives about their support of exploitation in the fields their tomatoes are picked, members and supporters of the Denver Fair Food Committee took their message to the public. Students, local faith leaders and other community leaders rallied in downtown Denver to protest Chipotle's hypocrisy of promoting an image of "Food With Integrity" while the workers who pick their produce toil in abysmal conditions.
Support CIW Farmworkers - Protest Burger King
Submitted by Anonymous on November 7, 2007 - 10:14pmWhat: Protest Burger King's exploitation of farmworkers. Support the Coalition of Immokalee Workers' right to be payed fairly for their labor. These folks risk their health on the daily, treading through carcinogenic and mutogenic pesticides so that Burger King can reap record profits. And, so that you can have a couple slices of tomato on your (veggie) burger. Even if you don't eat BK, these folks need our solidarity. They deserve much, much more, so let's help them get a little more, for now. . .

125 Years of Dissent: An Alternative History of the Grand Valley
Submitted by Anonymous on June 29, 2007 - 2:10am###from the Red Pill's upcoming issue Vol. 5 No. 11###
Though Grand Junction has long had a reputation as a conservative town, since its inception in 1882 there has been a minority that have actively dissented against that status quo and agitated for a better more equitable future. From Railroad strikes, to underground newspapers, to Blacklisted Dalton Trumbo and from anti-nuke protests in the Ô60s to antiwar protest in the 1990Õs and the 2000Õs Grand Junction and its surrounding region has a rich history of dissent and citizen activism.
