“Solidarity Summer 2012″ – A Call to Action
In the summer of 1964 SNCC’s (Student Non-Violent Coordinating Council’s) Robert Moses put out a call for college students to come to Mississippi to register African Americans to vote. Known as Freedom Summer, this was one of the major struggles of the Civil Rights movement and it marked a turning point in African Americans’ campaign for the right to vote. This movement also helped energize idealistic college students across the country, and was, in no small way, the basis of the activism of the 1960’s. I believe the labor movement should put out a similar call for next summer to once again defend the kind of rights those college students fought and died for in 1964.
The recent attacks on the labor movement have been coupled with an assault on the voting rights of poor people and racial minorities. The right to join a union and bargain collectively has been rolled back in Wisconsin, Ohio, Michigan, etc. at the same time those states have enacted voter ID measures that are the modern equivalent of the “Jim Crow” laws fought in 1964. While public sector workers have lost their union rights, poor and minority voters have lost their right to vote. We must connect these events and energize a new generation of young people to take action. I believe a call to a “Solidarity Summer” would do that. This move must involve an unprecedented commitment of resources by the labor union movement not merely to fight anti-union laws, but to expand unionization and protect the right to vote for poor people and minorities.
Lessons from WisconsinThe recent Supreme Court election in Wisconsin is a cautionary tale about what happens when sufficient resources are not committed and when cross racial coalitions are not created. David Prosser, the conservative candidate, won the race after a recount gave him a narrow 7K vote lead over the liberal Jo Anne Kloppenburg. Eighty per cent of the spending in the race came from outside sources, with the vast majority of it ($2.7 million vs $1.8 million) going to Prosser. The right wing money came from the usual sources–business associations, the Koch brothers, etc. The key for that election, however, was not just this money, but what happened in Milwaukee, or more accurately, what didn’t happen there. According to an analysis in Daily KOS (April 16, 2011) the lack of turn out among minority voters in that city doomed the chances of the liberal justice. Had minority voting been close to what it had been in 2008, Kloppenburg would have won easily.
