The Western MA Fightback School is hosting our third event on July 18th at 10am. Our previous events brought rank-and-file workers and community organizers into conversation to:

• Understand how the federal assaults are affecting people in our region
• Name the bosses and billionaires in our region who are benefitting
• Assess the power we will need to push back against these forces

Our third event focuses on bringing together labor and community organizers to make plans for how we can start building working class power in Western MA. We will begin building a collective campaign for affordability and rent control that will help us grow solidarity across our unions and community organizations.

Although the Fightback School is not focused exclusively on this fight, we do see it as an opportunity for us to coordinate strategy and begin to flex our organizing muscles together.

You'll hear from local organizers who have been fighting for tenants rights and building working class power in the valley.
