May 19, 2026 - Booklaunch: Radical Jewish Tradition

When: May 19th, 7pm
Where: Another Story Bookshop, 315 Roncesvalles Ave

The gripping and inspiring account of Jewish socialist struggles against tsarist pogroms, exploitative sweatshops and murderous Nazis across three continents.

The book celebrates Jewish radicalism from the Tsarist Empire to Poland and Germany, from London to New York. Fighting oppression and exploitation took numerous political forms, including left Zionism, Bundism and revolutionary Marxism. This inspiring radical tradition was ultimately checked by the callous indifference of capitalist governments to refugees and the horror of Auschwitz. However, its lessons must be passed on to inform working-class and anti-imperialist struggles in a world in crisis.This book recovers some of that long-neglected history. Before the Second World War, the majority of Jews were working-class and part of a wider struggle alongside their non-Jewish comrades on the left.

To illuminate this background, the issue of Jewish identity is analysed along political, cultural and sociological lines. This is essential because, today, the claim of Israel and its apologists to represent Jews everywhere, the growth of the antisemitic far right and the approach of the left to the Jewish question are central issues. A knowledge of the breadth of Jewish resistance aids understanding of these debates.

May 19, 2026 - No To Nuclear

When: Tuesday May 19th, 2pm

There is no silver bullet for the climate crisis--but that hasn't stopped people searching. Seizing its chance, the nuclear power industry wants us to believe that theirs is the only technical fix for our deliverance. The public, politicians and the media have been easily swayed.

No To Nuclear calls the industry's bluff. Blasting aside its claims to be safe and green, Linda Pentz Gunter makes the irresistible case that nuclear power is too slow, too expensive, too dangerous and too integrally connected to the nuclear weapons complex, to serve as a rational energy choice.
