Please join NoVa Labor and the Coalition to Repeal Right to Work as we welcome progressive journalist and cohost of Rising Krystal Ball to Busboys and Poets Shirlington for a discussion on building a progressive movement in Virginia and nationally to support economic populism including repeal of right to work laws. Krystal Ball is a native Virginian who ran for Congress in the 1st Congressional District. She offers sharp critiques of the Democratic Party's lack of commitment to addressing working class and labor concerns.
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.
