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.
Join us to view and discuss an amazing new 1-hour documentary, "Councilwoman," about a hotel housekeeper in Rhode Island who was elected to the Providence City Council! Politicians aren’t often full-time hotel housekeepers, grandmothers, union members and immigrants working service jobs. Carmen Castillo is a Dominican city councilwoman who maintains her job cleaning hotel rooms as she takes on her new role in politics. Follow her exciting quest for re-election after serving a term!Â
