Join the UWT Labor Solidarity Project this fall as we explore the past, present, and potential futures of organized labor. Our 9-week online seminar series will include presentations from academics and activists, interrogating the connection between capitalism and the ongoing fights for racial and economic justice. Organizing for Change will explore the opportunities available to workers as we come together in solidarity and assert the fundamental dignity at the heart of all labor.
Seminars will air live on Thursdays from 6-7:30PST and will typically include a short presentation followed by a Q&A.
