*DRAWING ON THE RHETORIC*of the socialist workers’ movement,
representatives of the Jewish housing projects on the outskirts of
Salonica (Thessaloniki), Greece, convened a congress in 1924 demanding
justice from the local Jewish community, the city, and the state. In
amanifesto in Judeo-Spanish
<https://jewishcurrents.org/salonica-manifesto/>(Ladino), the language
of the the city’s Sephardic Jewish proletariat, the new “Federation of
Residents of All the Popular Neighborhoods” of Salonica articulated
demands on behalf of the vulnerable, exploited, and unseen that still
resonate today: for housing, healthcare, education, access to clean
water and sanitation, coal for heat in the winter, and infrastructure
like paved roads and public meeting spaces. Organizing across seven
disparate neighborhoods, the city’s Jewish poor placed their faith in
solidarity: “a boulder of iron that cannot be broken” (/un penyasko de
fiero ke non se rompe/).
