OUL welcomes back long-time political activist and professor of sociology at Purdue University Northwest Kim Scipes. Kim will talk about what he has learned from studying CIO labor organizing in Chicago during it’s years of greatest strength (1933-1955). He will compare this to what activist Jane McAlevey, a current organizer, is now proposing. Kim will speak specifically about current community work in Michigan City, Indiana. The intent here is to help deepen current organizing efforts in Chicago and beyond.
