"This box set specifically highlights the movement culture of the January 2019 United Teachers Los Angeles (UTLA) and the February 2019 Oakland Education Association (OEA) teachers' strikes. It is a substantial visual archive that amply illustrates the movement culture of these history-making and successful strikes and the groundbreaking recent and crucial integration of Art Builds into the strategies of union organizing. But it is also a teaching tool. It teaches labor history and how to fight back during a time of mass inequality. Through extensive photography by activist and union photographer Joe Brusky, and with material examples of organizing and protest materials, this box set is a step-by-step intensive interactive manual explaining how to use art to both amplify and accelerate successful social justice and union organizing campaigns. An accompanying catalog provides an inventory of the box set and also features interviews with organizers to provide ample historical context and first-person testimony, (including Cecily Myart-Cruz, President of UTLA, Kampala Taiz-Rancifer, OEA union organizer and teacher, Carlos Rogel, Executive Director at SPARC, David Solnit, art organizer, Nate Gunderson, union organizer at the National Education Association, Joe Brusky, Milwaukee Teachers' Education Association union photographer and social media coordinator)." --
