The Harry Bridges Center for Labor Studies is pleased to announce and celebrate the release of the student project Capacity Constrained Morality: A Brief History of Community Resistance and Labor Activism at the University of Washington.

Researched, compiled and published by undergraduates, Capacity Constrained Morality overviews the rich history of activism and collective struggle at the UW, as a counter-narrative to the University’s “facade of progress and diversity.”

The zine begins with a message to students and workers: "[T]hat their labor matters --  not only matters, but has been the defining force for change throughout the University’s history.  As students, workers, and community members continue the legacy of activism and resistance today, we hope the zine can be a resource in strengthening the movement, sharing knowledge and strategy, and advancing coalitions between workers and students."

Copies of the zine are currently available at the Bridges Center office in Smith Hall Room M266. Digital copies of the zine can be downloaded online at https://sites.google.com/view/capactity-constrained-morality/home
