- Description:
- Calls for: 1.) "consolidating the handful of individuals ready for a united, class fight against austerity and for a workers' government," 2.) "expanding the reclassification [of jobs] fight into a class-wide struggle," 3.) "turn the demoralization of UW workers around and spread their renewed fight to other sectors of the working class." Quote from document: "Once again the 'lights' are going out in Seattle. But this time it is the entire capitalist world which plunges towards the depths of a second Great Depression." Background information: The statement on lights going out in Seattle may be a reference to a billboard posted in Seattle that made international news in 1971. After the city suffered massive Boeing layoffs and steep economic decline, realtors Bob McDonald and Jim Youngren posted a billboard which said, "Will the last person leaving Seattle turn out the lights." (Crowley, Walt. Rites of Passage: A Memoir of the Sixties in Seattle. Seattle: University of Washington Press. p. 187) Note on date: 1973 is penciled on document.
