We have set up this page to honor working class heroes! As socialists we believe in our collective power when we come together as workers. But that doesn't mean that individuals don't play an inspiring role in the fight for a better world. However, all too often, working class heroes don't get the recognition that they deserve. This is a modest attempt to remedy that.
On this page you'll find two lists. The first is a list of amazing local community activists that the Northwoods Socialist Collective has given shout-outs to on facebook under the hashtag of #WorkingClassHeroWednesdays. The second is a list of national or international working class activists who have come before us, that was originally hosted on the former Northwoods Worker blog. Both lists will be added to from time to time.
