The authors of Against Tech Oligarchy are bringing together labor leaders and tech critics to pack the jury in the trial of a tech billionaire. Witnesses will present Zuckerberg’s most notable injuries to the working class, and we’ll decide his fate.
Come out for a boisterous, cathartic celebration of working-class solidarity and power.
