Session 4, Worker Power, the Labor Movement and Climate Justice
- When: Tuesday, November, 14th, 4-530PT / 7-830ET
What: In this workshop, we’ll dive into why we need a powerful low-carbon labor movement to successfully take on the massive challenge that fossil capital poses to achieving climate justice. Since the 1970’s, the Right’s strategy has been to pit labor against the environment, threatening that any action on climate or the environment would mean lost jobs. At the same time, worker rights, protections and organizing power have been bludgeoned. We can’t have climate justice without labor justice. Partnering with leaders in the labor and climate movements, together we’ll learn how to build solidarity between our movements to win a carbon-free world where we can all lead good, dignified lives.
