Propaganda 101, or PropMag, is a youth-produced news and multimedia source out of Brooklyn and Philly. We are a grassroots movement interested in building community around independent and alternative media sources. Our goal is to merge popular culture with politics, and inspire youth activism.

We believe it is necessary to build this community across geographic and party lines, so PropMag places heavy focus on the internet and podcasting, and increasingly on community-based and national non-profit television outlets. PropMag uses event- and action-oriented organizing to help build this community in Brooklyn and Philly. The quarterly print version of PropMag contributes to these goals.

The Last General Strike?

A Celebration of Over 100 Years of Class War


Help mark the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Industrial Workers of the World with a brief photo presentation of the last general strike ever to occur in the U.S., the “Work Holiday” from December 1-5, 1946 in Oakland, California. After the brief presentation, we will show a few short video clips from a video called “Precarity” about the new and imaginative examples of working class resistance—from South Korea, Argentina, France, Italy and Spain—to the increasingly exploitative, insecure and precarious nature of wage labor today. Most importantly, our event will mostly be an informal discussion about the possibilities for class struggle today, with first-hand accounts of the inspiring recent actions—in the tradition of the Wobblies—like the wildcat strike of West Coast troqueros in the spring of 2004 and the community Flying Picket actions in solidarity with the citywide striking/locked out hotel workers in San Francisco this year.

"The September Project"

David Silver

The September Project is a grassroots
effort to encourage public events on freedom, democracy, and citizenship in
libraries on or around September 11. September Project events are activities
of reflection, discussion, and dialogue about the meaning of freedom, the role
of information in promoting active citizenship, and the importance of literacy
in making sense of the world around us. Events take place on September 11, on
the weekend of September 11, or throughout the month of September. In other
words, whenever it works best for your library and community.


Libraries around the world are collaborating with organizations to host public
and campus events, such as: displays about human rights and historical
documents; talks and performances about freedom and cultural difference; and film screenings about issues that matter. Over 100 examples of events can be found here. For events tailored to a more academic audience, please visit:
