Race and Labor (November)

How does racism show up in our workplaces and in our unions? What are some strategies to confront it and build solidarity for a stronger, multiracial labor movement? And what can you say to union siblings who aren’t convinced racial justice has anything to do with union politics?

This workshop addresses how class and race are inextricably linked, tracing back the origins of “race” as an invention of the ruling class to divide workers. We'll talk about how to move to strategies of unity.

This workshop has three parts. We ask that you attend all of them.

When: Tuesdays, November 12, 19, and 26
Time: 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Eastern (6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Central / 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Pacific).
Where: This is an online workshop and will be held via Zoom.
