Description:

Be the first to see the 2016 DC LaborFest line-up, including screeners for the 16th annual DC Labor FilmFest! Every day in May will feature great labor art, from films to music, poetry, history, as well as radio and even a soccer game; find out all about it and how you can get involved.
PLUS: Busboys & Poets' delicious food and drink will be available for purchase and all participants will receive a pair of free Labor FilmFest passes!

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 second Tuesday of every month at Busboys and Poets, Takoma.

This event is free and open to the public. To RSVP click here.
