Dear John,
[link removed]
Earlier this month, on May 1, we recognized International Workers Day, a
day that has historical roots in the 8-hour workday movement
[link removed]
; a movement that has seen a strong resurgence in recent months
[link removed]
with unionization efforts increasing across the country. Join us for an
important and timely conversation on #RaceAnd Labor Rights
[link removed]
today , at 3 pm ET, 12 pm PT.
Organizing for workers' rights has long been core to racial justice
movement building. The ongoing pandemic has created an urgency in
addressing the worker's rights across industries which includes calls
for workplace safety, fair wages, worker shortages, and the causes
exacerbating the "Great Resignation."
To close out the month, we'll be joined by Dolores Huerta

, American labor leader and civil rights activist, and Chris Smalls
[link removed]
, founder and president of the Amazon Labor Union, for a conversation
about the state of the current labor movement as workers around the
country have become inspired to pursue similar campaigns for fair and
humane treatment in their workplaces.
In this moment when we are seeing labor organizing on the rise, what
important lessons can we learn from both longtime leaders who paved the
way for workers' rights, and from a new generation of organizers?
This online event is part of our #RaceAnd series, which places race at
the forefront by exploring the intersectionality of race and racism with
various issue areas and systems of oppression.
