Share your memories – together, we will create a collective scrapbook of the garment workers’ struggle. We invite you to bring old photos, flyers, keepsakes, and testimony from your years in the movement, which will be digitized and returned. Learn from the past – we’ll provide lunch and encourage discussion between veterans of the movement and activists, advocates, and organizers working in the field today.
Change the Future – organizers and activists both past and present will share their experiences and how you can get involved in the fight against sweatshops today.
This is an in-person event, but a livestream of the panel will be available via the Labor Center’s Facebook page. Contributions to the scrapbook can also be made by RSVPing at https://bit.ly/nosweatreunion.
