Please join us for an online book discussion with Frank Emspak on his new memoir Troublemaker: Saying No to Power, on Thursday, February 2nd at 7:00 p.m. Central Standard Time.
The event will include panelists Steve Early (free-lance journalist and the author or co-author of five books about labor, politics, or veterans issues), Alice Herman (labor reporter whose work has appeared in The Progressive, In These Times, and other outlets), and Norman Stockwell (former Board member of Workers Independent News and publisher of The Progressive magazine), along with questions from the audience.
You have the power to make a difference at The Progressive by giving us the strength to grow—allowing us to dig deeper, hit harder, and pull back the curtain further to hold accountable those who abuse power.
