Writer Gabriel San Román joins us for a virtual conversation with fellow journalist Roberto Lovato. Together they'll discuss  San Roman's new book, Days of Dissent, about the strikes and forgotten martyrs of the labor movement. 

In Days of Dissent: Revolts, Strikes, and Rebel Histories, Gabriel brims with defiance recounting the rebellious history that has reshaped the United States and the world. In a subverted "this day in history" format, and rising from his Subversive Historian commentaries on Pacifica Radio, a story is told for every day of the year with poignant vignettes about protests—no matter how big or small. 

This event is organized in collaboration with PM Press as part of their All We Have Is Each Other Speaker Series.
