The NYC book launch of PM Press’ Jackson Rising Redux (2023), edited by Kali Akuno and Matt Meyer, was held at the main union hall of SEIU 1199 as a means of building new alliances across community-labor and geographic lines. Akuno and Meyer were joined by 1199 Vice President Shaywaal Amin, Cooperative Economics Alliance of NY co-director Maria Alex Garcia, 1199 senior advisor Bruce Richards, contributing author Sophie Gonick, and others. [Please note: After Brother Shaywaal’s brilliant reading/homage to Linton Kwesi Johnson, the video “rights itself” and the rest of the program is not “sideways viewing”!!]
