Let's Go to Work on the System! Committee For a Labor Party Flier.

Emeryville, CA: Committee for a Labor Party, Publisher. Unbound. Good. Item #016820

no date, 1968. Single sheet, 8 ½ by 11 inches. Light yellow paper stock. Small illustration of factory workers at the lower left corner. Issued by the Committee for a Labor Party, this flier solicits people to help work in the trade union movement, helping to build militant and democratic unions and a workers' party. Using the protests on Telegraph Ave in Berkeley on July 4th (1968) as a means of recruitment, the flier suggests that while the struggle for freedom of speech and assembly is important, it is not the best way to create lasting change. It urges protestors to establish a sergeant at arms, first aid stations, and assemble defense items such as bullhorns, lights, etc., in anticipation of the protest. It also states, "Don't play the 'hope for an atrocity' game-it is other people's lives and safety you are using for chips!" and asserts that people should not use the movement as a plaything. GOOD condition. Horizontal and vertical fold crease present. Minor wrinkling.

Price: $25.00
