Andy Shallal's new book, A Seat at the Table: The Making of Busboys And Poets, with introduction by Angela Davis, gets rave reviews.

“A fast-moving memoir . . . Read on and relish.” —Ralph Nader

“A page turner from soup to nuts.” —Medea Benjamin

Busboys And Poets is one (actually eight) of the most crucial meeting places for peace and justice activists in our nation's capital, as well as restaurant, bar, bookstore, event space, and movement headquarters. Read a review of A Seat at the Table by RootsAction campaign coordinator David Swanson, and watch Swanson's interview of Shallal here.

 

When we hold events in Washington, D.C., we hold them at Busboys And Poets, but here are two upcoming events online everywhere:

RootsAction has been taking part in numerous "Hands Off" rallies in opposition to Trump's outrages, as well as keeping signers of our pledge to not cooperate up to speed on what is working around the country.

We've also been part of the organizing of a protest at the Democratic National Committee demanding serious opposition. We recommend reading "Democrats’ deference to Biden was a disaster. They still haven’t learned their lesson" in The Guardian by RootsAction national director Norman Solomon.

 

We've also been supporting the campaign for mayor of New York City of Zohran Mamdani. Find Zohran's campaign website here.

 

And over at Progressive Hub, The Zero Hour has been turning out amazing videos. Have a look.
