A People's iCalendar!

What is a People's Calendar?

A People's Calendar (aPC) is a project that seeks to promote the worldwide history of working class movements and liberation struggles in the form of a searchable "On This Day" calendar.
aPC was inspired by historian Howard Zinn's work "A People's History of the United States". Zinn's scholarship and political activism demonstrated the power of mass working class movements, as well as the critical importance of knowing this history when we seek to change the present.
The greatest experts on any historical event or struggle will always be the people who live it, as well as the scholars who document it meticulously. Our ambition is to promote awareness of this history while emphasizing these perspectives.

What is a People's iCalendar?

A People's iCalendar is all the events that live on the People's Calendar website, but repackaged in a standard .ics file which can be referenced at its raw address from your calendar app of choice, providing you daily historical events from a people's perspective directly in your calendar.

This first edition of the calendar file currently displays all events (over 1000) and includes their full-length descriptions in the event description.

This might not be the ideal arrangement, and input is welcome.
