Jacobin magazine’s recent article on Fred Ross Sr. HERE!

“American Agitators” shows how Fred Ross Sr. for decades mobilized communities to challenge segregation, fight for voting rights, and empower labor movements. The film also shows how Fred Ross Jr. followed in his father’s footsteps as an organizer, and introduces organizers of today who continue Ross’s work, tackling issues such as fair wages, workers’ rights, and systemic inequality.

“We are at a crucial moment in history where understanding the power of organizing is more important than ever,” said Telles. Fred Ross Sr.’s story is a testament to the fact that change doesn’t happen overnight—it’s built through persistence, dedication, and the collective strength of everyday people.
