Here’s the story 🧵

From our third issue: a remarkable document that issues a serious challenge to the emerging orthodoxies of October, which now tend to "dissolve the revolutionary creativity of these workers into a broader story of European social democracy" longhaulmag.com/when-scythe-...

Riley Collins recounts the history of interracial organizing in New Orleans during the great depression–when dramatic direct action “seeded a legacy of collaboration among white and Black teacher unionists acting ‘in treason to local mores’ of racial hierarchy.”

New dispatch! The 2023 grad strike at the University of Michigan was a signal struggle in the recent upsurge of militancy in higher education, from which organizers in the sector stand to learn as they confront new and forbidding challenges: longhaulmag.com/2025/08/15/s...

Gonna definitely put some time in with the latest issue of @long-haul-mag.bsky.social! And probably try to keep clawing my way through ground rent in volume 3 (im drowning someone help me,) reading about the Greensboro Massacre, and uh taking refuge in fiction about... fighting fascists?

@long-haul-mag.bsky.social — issue #3 #1u — 📖

Higher education in the U.S. is under direct and concerted attack. Certain aspects appear novel under the new government, while others are accelerations of existing trends. Few, however, have sought to wield power at work to challenge their administrators' response longhaulmag.com/2025/05/14/r...

Upon learning that promised wage increases would not come through, cafeteria staff, custodians, bus drivers, social workers, and front office workers walked off the job at Durham's public schools in loosely organized wildcats.

New book days are the best days especially when it’s the third issue of @long-haul-mag.bsky.social. Already devoured “At Least Three Layers Down” and “Factory Committees.” Can’t wait to read the rest!

"The various barriers to labor organizing that we face in the South – from low union density to legal constraints – require us to be more consistent, creative, and combative."

Very excited about Long Haul, a quarterly magazine of worker writing and organization. Great to see more voices from workers themselves in leftist publishing 🙏 (ht @itsmccarthy.bsky.social ) longhaulmag.com/about/

"It appears almost certain that fights in US universities will continue to unfold, in no small part, through and over the question of Palestine." longhaulmag.com/uc-strike-fo...

"The various barriers to labor organizing that we face in the South – from low union density to legal constraints – require us to be more consistent, creative, and combative."

"wildcats"? That's when workers act on their own initiative, autonomously of any formal organization like unions, which, all too often, have leaders sold out to bosses. Wildcats are moments of uncontrolled solidarity that create new links among workers that can, over time, become stronger.
