December 14, 2009   I encountered Tim on only one occasion years ago, when he and others had organized a one-day seminar on contingent work at Clark University, in Worcester, MA. His knowledge and tenacity inspired me, and yet inspires me to continue my efforts for Single Payer Health Care.

Posted by Jeremy Brecher

December 13, 2009   I knew Tim only a little bit. We went to a couple of meetings together and would see each other from time to time in the food coop or walk together down Pearl Street as we both headed home. He is always someone I liked to talk to because he knew… Read More »

ABOUT JEREMY BRECHER

11You and I may not know each other, but I suspect there are some problems that we share -- problems like climate change, war, and injustice. For half a century I have been participating in and writing about social movements that address those problems. The purpose of this website is to share what I've learned. I hope it provides something of use to you in addressing our common problems.

For the record, I am the author of more than a dozen books on labor and social movements. I have written and/or produced more than twenty video documentaries. I have participated in movements for nuclear disarmament, civil rights, peace in Vietnam, international labor rights, global economic justice, accountability for war crimes, climate protection, and many others.
