From Yellow Vests to General Strike

The Yellow Vests movement has continued to descend into the streets of France each Saturday for over a year now.  Recently it has developed forms of convergence with other movements, most notably with the massive strikes over pensions and with the student strikes.  Francesco Brancaccio will join us from Paris to discuss the evolution of the Yellow Vests movement and the potentials for future development. Two events:

1. Mon. 3/16 – 12pm-1pm – Mapping session – discussion of preliminary readings (TBD)
2. Th. 3/19 – 12pm-1pm – Dialogue with Francesco Brancaccio from Paris

Preliminary readings coming soon… Free lunch will be provided for participants at both events.
