The Cold War Truth Commission is a compilation of Testimonies, both by renowned activists and scholars, and also direct victims of the U.S's Cold War purge of the Left in the name of "anti-communism". The Panel will consist of the book's editor, as well as several Bay Area residents who are featured in the book. After panelists share, the public will be encouraged to take the mic to tell their own Testimonies of having been red-baited for their progressive work. As the MAGA base today still cries "communism!", we will together unravel the true purpose of the U.S. Cold War: To crush social programs, peace. labor, and anti-racist efforts both at home and abroad. If those values are "communist", we ask, then what is an "anti-communist" stand for?
