We’re Launching a Video Education Series This Week
Our new political education series, Stay at Home, launches this Thursday at 6 PM EST on our YouTube channel, with special guest Mike Davis.
Political organizing is hard. Political education shouldn't be.
These have been a few pretty bleak weeks. We hope all our readers are doing well and are in good health.
Socialist politics is built on mass rallies, strikes, and door-knocking. But since we’re all practicing physical distancing, we decided to launch a video-based political education series this month.
A few times a week Jacobin will host a left-wing thinker on our YouTube channel to explain an idea for around twenty minutes. Then we’ll take questions from our virtual audience for a brief Q&A.
We’re kicking things off with Mike Davis on the coronavirus pandemic and its political implications.
Tune in this Thursday at 6 PM EST. Visit Jacobin on YouTube (and subscribe!)
Mike Davis is the author of many books, including Planet of Slums and City of Quartz, and a contributor to Jacobin.
