How to Beat Coronavirus Capitalism (Part 2)

Haymarket Books is a radical, independent, nonprofit book publisher based in Chicago.Our mission is to publish books that contribute to struggles for social and economic justice. We strive to make our books a vibrant and organic part of social movements and the education and development of a critical, engaged, international left.We take inspiration and courage from our namesakes, the Haymarket Martyrs, who gave their lives fighting for a better world. Their 1886 struggle for the eight-hour day – which gave us May Day, the international workers’ holiday – reminds workers around the world that ordinary people can organize and struggle for their own liberation. These struggles continue today across the globe—struggles against oppression, exploitation, poverty, and war.

Haymarket Books

An online teach-in with Naomi Klein, Astra Taylor, and Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, hosted by Hari Kondabolu.

“Our teach-in has turned into an “After Bernie” roundtable... there may be tears. And dogs. And kids. And rage. And did I mention tears? There will also be plans for next steps.” —Naomi KleinThis event will be streamed live at 5:00 PM EDT on Haymarket Books’ YouTube page: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOp9G5hoQnM" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"></a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Gi5qGHRJ9c" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Gi5qGHRJ9c</a>-------Haymarket Books is an independent, radical, non-profit publisher.

We will either be catapulted backward to an even more brutal winner-takes-all system — or this will be a wake-up call.Ideas that were dismissed as too radical just a week ago are starting to seem like the only reasonable path to get out of this crisis and prevent future ones.We need to use every tool that we have that allows us to hear each other’s voices, to read each other’s words, to see each other’s faces, even if it’s just on screens, to stay organized and stay connected. We have to create spaces where we’re able to deliberate and strategize about what it means to protect our neighbors, our rights, and our planet.We have to have the confidence to say this is the moment when we change everything.Further info:Watch Naomi Klein’s latest video at The Intercept, <a href="https://theintercept.com/2020/03/16/coronavirus-capitalism/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">“Coronavirus Capitalism — And How to Beat it”</a> Read Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor’s latest column at The New Yorker, <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/news/our-columnists/reality-has-endorsed-bernie-sanders" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">“Reality Has Endorsed Bernie Sanders”</a>Take 70% OFF Naomi Klein’s No Is Not Enough, The Battle for Paradise, and La Batalla Por el Paraíso.This event is part of a series of events hosted by Haymarket Books in the context of the current crisis.Register for <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/covid-19-decarceration-and-abolition-tickets-101585777796" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">“Covid-19, Decarceration, and Abolition”</a> with Ruthie Wilson Gilmore and Naomi MurakawaWatch <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOp9G5hoQnM" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">“Capitalism Is The Disease”</a>: Mike Davis on the Coronavirus CrisisNaomi Klein<a href="https://twitter.com/NaomiAKlein" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">@NaomiAKlein</a>https://naomiklein.org/Astra Taylor<a href="https://twitter.com/astradisastra" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">@astradisastra</a>https://www.whatisdemocracy.info/Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor<a href="https://twitter.com/KeeangaYamahtta" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">@KeeangaYamahtta</a>http://www.keeangataylor.com/Hari Kondabolu<a href="https://twitter.com/harikondabolu" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">@harikondabolu</a>http://www.harikondabolu.com/Lia Rose<a href="https://twitter.com/liarosemusic" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">@liarosemusic</a><a href="https://twitter.com/liarosemusic" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"></a>https://www.liarose.com/Haymarket Books<a href="https://twitter.com/haymarketbooks" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">@hayamarketbooks</a>https://www.haymarketbooks.org/The Leap<a href="https://twitter.com/TheLeap_Org" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">@TheLeap_Org</a><a href="https://twitter.com/TheLeap_Org" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"></a>https://theleap.org/Debt Collective<a href="https://twitter.com/StrikeDebt" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">@StrikeDebt</a>https://debtcollective.org/Democratic Socialists of America<a href="http://twitter.com/demsocialists" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">@DemSocialists</a>https://dsausa.org/
