A lot of us get really frustrated with how things are going in the world.
But a lot of people directly impacted by issues like lack of healthcare access, criminal [in]justice system, environmental degradation, wage theft, gentrification, racial profiling, labor-displacement, and more are organizing among each other to fight for their own human rights. Western Service Workers Association has been turning the people most in need to community organizers and solve problems for their own communities in East and West Oakland. Come join me and meet these solution-oriented people in the low-income service workers community this Friday at their 42nd anniversary dinner (flier attached)!
There will be lots of dancing (i.e. cumbia, motown, and all sorts of fun stuff – some powered by bicycle) and mingling with the community. You’ll learn about the different fights we’ve won as a community. People come from all walks of life, although majority of them are low-income service workers.
