The true story of a courageous group of newsboys who become unlikely heroes in 1899 when they team up to fight an unscrupulous newspaper tycoon. Determined to make their dreams come true, they find the courage to challenge the powerful from coast to coast.
In this Disney musical, homeless New York City newsboy Jack "Cowboy" Kelly (Christian Bale) befriends two newcomers to his trade, brothers David (David Moscow) and Les Jacobs (Luke Edwards). When publisher Joseph Pulitzer (Robert Duvall) sets new rules that make it harder for the young newspaper salesmen to make a buck, the boys go on strike. Bryan Denton (Bill Pullman), a journalist who's sympathetic to their plight, gives them some tips in public relations, as the newsboys' battle grips the city.
1992 ‧ Drama/Music ‧ 2h 1m; Director: Kenny Ortega

This isn't your typical labor movement fundraiser, it's a dance party! "Party Like It's 1997" is a cross-generational space to gather folks from across the labor movement to let loose and dance the night away to 90's tunes, classic hits, and fresh beats. Light appetizers are provided and drink tickets will be available for purchase to use at the bar.
United Students Against Sweatshops (USAS) is the nation's largest student-led labor campaign organization with locals at over 150 universities and colleges. USAS has organized for student and worker power since 1997 and is the official student partner of the AFL-CIO. Over the past 22 years we've won precedent-setting victories and have trained tens of thousands of young activists to become skilled organizers, researchers, and campaigners. 1 in 4 USAS alumni go on to work in the labor movement. Your generous support is a direct investment in the future of the labor movement.
