We bring people together to learn about, discuss and fight around the most critical issues that we face as working class people — from racist police brutality and skyrocketing rents to poverty wages, union busting, and never-ending wars. We recognize that only together can we fight for a new society that prioritizes people over profit. - - - FEATURED PERFORMANCE: OTTO VOCK! Otto Vock is a Jewish, non-binary poet and educator from Jersey City, NJ, now based in Somerville, MA, whose work explores, play, rebellion, labor, queerness, and decolonized glances into their family history. Their work has appeared in The Offing, Pigeon Pages NYC, and the Quinobequin Review. Their manuscript in progress, They Did Not Comply, received an honorable mention from Game Over Book’s 2025 open reading period and was a semifinalist for Sundress Publication’s open reading period. Currently, Otto works at Mass Poetry as their Teen Spoken Word Programming Coordinator. When they can scramble together funding, they love to teach creative writing classes at Boston Public Library branches that are free and open to the public. They are pursuing a Master’s in Educational Studies at Tufts University and engage in trickery within the world of academia whenever possible (always).
