About us: Who We Are

ICSS is a diverse group of activists and educators based in the San
Francisco Bay Area. Through classes and workshops, social events and
community action, we focus on an analysis of our society from a
working-class perspective. Class analysis is used to provide crucial
insights into how todays conditions came about and how we can implement
positive changes in our society.

If you are seeking a deeper understanding of our
socio-political-economic conditions, and want to contribute to positive
change, we invite you to join us.
