Every two years in April, Labor Notes hosts a conference of about 2,000 labor organizers in Chicago. Labor Notes is the rabble-rousing left wing of the labor movement, and it works to support bottom-up, militant, democratic unionism and to empower rank-and-file members to hold union leadership accountable. This event is a crucial chance for rank-and-file members from across the country to come together and get important skills, learn about each others’ fights, and draw much-needed inspiration from stories of victory.
East Bay DSA labor organizers are hosting a huge fundraiser and dance party to raise money to attend the Labor Notes conference. We’ll start the night off with a small program highlighting several Bay Area struggles then it’s time to dance! Local labor unions members will also be in attendance, so this is a great opportunity for East Bay DSA members to meet union folks and support them from the bottom up!
