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.
This Month's Feature:
Peter and Steve Jones are local singer/songwriters celebrating three decades of making music together. Brought up in the River Road Unitarian Universalist Church in Bethesda, the brothers were introduced to the United Farm Workers Union boycott and together they worked as organizers for the union. Their music has lifted up the plight of those who had little or no voice. Join them for a free evening of labor songs and music in an intimate venue featuring delicious food and drink.
