Bread & Roses and the DC Labor Film Fest present: Poetry
at Work Open Mic!
Poets
tackle the workplace, from drudgery to dignity - and even beauty.
Featured poets to be announced! To be considered, please
email kstitt@wpfw.org.
Bread & Roses is a
monthly labor series that features a variety of events focused
on workers and organized labor. Each month brings a new topic
through interactive discussions, film screenings, and
performances. The hope for these events is that attendees
walk away with a greater understanding of organized
labor, its role in shaping history and current relevance.
The name "Bread & Roses" was inspired by a poem/song
written by James Oppenheim that appeals for both fair
wages and dignified conditions.
Bread & Roses is held on the first Tuesday of
every month at Busboys and Poets 5th & K.
