This year it takes place Oct 15-18 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to celebrate the city, the culture, the community, and the legacy.

Here Where We Live Is Our Country is a New York Times Bestseller by Molly Crabapple.  It is the first popular history of the Jewish Labor Bund, once the most influential Jewish political force in eastern Europe.  The Bund was secular, socialist, and uncompromisingly anti-Zionist. They fought for dignity and equality, not in an imagined homeland in Palestine but “here where we live.”  This book reanimates a band of idealists who broadened our global political imagination. The Bund’s remarkable story and message—that liberation, dignity, and solidarity must begin where we stand—reaches across time as a guide to our own urgent moment.  Buy the book or listen for free with a trial of Audible.
