As the anniversary of the 1934 Minneapolis General Strike approaches, and as the people search for tools in our battle against fascism, we sat down the the FirewithFire blog to discuss thier piece The Big Break: General Strikes in the Past and Present (https://firewithfire.blog/). This interview offers an introductory sweep of General Strikes in U.S. history, labor history and some recent international examples of general strikes that may be instructive.

Toward A Socialist Understanding of Public School Finance w/ David Backer
We sat down with author of As Public As Possible: Radical Finance for America's Public Schools David Backer with the intention of gaining a better understanding of how our public schools are (under)funded today in capitalist America and how we can take control of that finance to create the schools we deserve. We talk about local property tax, the role of private credit and Wall Street in public school debt and some near term changes that familis and educators can fight for.
Big shout out ot Minneapolis Families for Public Schools for the book recommendation.
We might have a few more drops for you this summer, stay tuned:)
