Dallas Barkley never realized the zombies walking the planet and destroying their country would be the least of her worries. Not in her darkest nightmares, not in the farthest reaches of her mind could she have imagined that the flesh eating, mindless man eaters would actually be the least of her concerns. Fighting off the zombies in an effort to reclaim her home, Dallas and company discover a different kind of nightmare...a different sort of Hell. As the country falls into disrepair, as the world outside turns its back on the once powerful United States, Dallas and Roper lead their cadre of survivors back home to California in an effort to establish another safe zone for survivors of the zombie apocalypse. What they find on their trek back is nothing less than horrifying. What they unearth as they attempt to out run the tireless zombie horde is something far more frightening than the soulless ghouls tirelessly chasing after them. As Dallas and her new family struggle to return home, they learn just what happens to a society in which there are no rules, no laws, and nothing but chaos and anarchy. What happens when men devolve into a creatures surrendering to their baser instincts? And what happens to those they feel are weaker than they are? What happens to women when men are allowed complete and total freedom to do as they wish? Who becomes the victims when society is run by Mob Rule? Dallas and Roper are about to find out. Views: 43

The Chicago Teachers Union strike was the most important domestic labor struggle so far this century--and perhaps for the last forty years--and the strongest challenge to the conservative agenda for restructuring education, which advocates for more charter schools and tying teacher salaries to standardized testing, among other changes.In 2012, Chicago teachers built a grassroots movement through education and engagement of an entire union membership, taking militant action in the face of enormous structural barriers and a hostile Democratic Party leadership. The teachers won massive concessions from the city and have become a new model for school reform led by teachers themselves, rather than by billionaires. Strike for America is the story of this movement, and how it has become the defining struggle for the labor movement today. Views: 43
