Power: What is it? Who has it? What is it for? Let’s talk about it. This month our guest speaker is an organizer for working class power who is a member of the IBEW (International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers).
Following the discussion, anyone who wants to stay later can make message buttons together.
This is the fourth in a series of 12 roundtable discussions designed to mutually inform, assess, and motivate community members to connect, share stories, and respond proactively to the issues we face collectively.
These gatherings are based on three pillars pivotal to a fully democratic society: human rights, civic engagement, and intellectual freedom.
Join the conversation to dream, advocate, and foster collective action for a better world.
