Democracy Under Attack – Impacts on Jobs and Organizing and How to Build a Fighting Movement in Response
Democracy is under attack here in the United States and around the world. Voter suppression and right-wing political ideologies are on the rise.

Leaders and activists from unions, community-based workers’ organizations, and labor education have a critical role to play in this movement building moment. Come hear progressive labor leader Tefere Gebre, lay out what’s at stake and what we need to do going forward.
