@workerscircle.bsky.social has digitized the archives of their English newsletter “The Call.” I tried searching for “dance” and found some 1930s Union dances like this 1932 Chicago dance that organizers hoped marked the end of the Great Depression.

The Workers Circle and the Close Friends Collective recently came together for a free walking tour through New York City’s Lower East Side. Together, we uncovered the #queer, #Jewish, and labor roots that helped shape the city and the organizers, artists, and community builders who paved the way.

And yet even with major air traffic control safety concerns, the DOT is planning to exclude them from its plan to order 10% cut in flights at 40 major U.S. airports.
