Bread & Rosesis 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.
APALA, APRI, CBTU, CLUW, LCLAA, PAW and YTU: go behind the acronyms and meet the local labor activists fighting to make a difference!
The Metro Washington Council’s constituency groups address the challenges that workers from diverse backgrounds face. These groups reach out to the communities they serve, build solidarity, help out with organizing efforts and ensure full participation in our movement.
The evening’s program will include brief presentations from each local constituency group and a Q&A session. Busboys’ full menu of delicious food and drink will be available for purchase.
Participants include local chapters of the following constituency groups:
Confirmed: Coalition of Labor Union Women (CLUW) DC chapter and Chesapeake Bay chapter
Invited: A. Philip Randolph Institute (APRI); Asian Pacific American Labor Alliance (APALA); Coalition of Black Trade Unionists (CBTU); Labor Council for Latin American Advancement (LCLAA); Pride At Work (Pride@Work); Young Trade Unionists (YTU).
