Join us for a screening of the true story of the Dodge Revolutionary Union Movement!


FINALLY GOT THE NEWS is a documentary that reveals the activities of the League of Revolutionary Black Workers inside and outside the auto factories of Detroit. Through interviews, footage shot in the auto plants, and footage of leafleting and picketing actions, the film documents their efforts to build an independent black labor organization that will respond to worker's problems, such as the assembly line speed-up and inadequate wages faced by both black and white workers in the industry.


Beginning with a historical montage, from the early days of slavery through the subsequent growth and organization of the working class, FINALLY GOT THE NEWS focuses on the crucial role played by the black worker in the American economy.


After the movie screening, we'll be hanging out, talking politics, and enjoying frosty beverages!


This event is a fundraiser to help bring local activists to the Socialism Conference in Chicago this July - learn more at https://socialismconference.org/ ! We'll be suggesting a $5-$10 donation at the door, extra for refreshments, but no one will be turned away.
