Reading at least the bolded texts in advance is highly recommended, but not required.

Each session will be formatted as follows:

1) Introductory remarks by a guest speaker - 10-15 minutes

2) Open Q&A with guest speaker - 10-15 minutes

3) Facilitated breakout group discussion - 40 minutes

4) Whole-group open discussion - 20 minutes

This will be a great opportunity to hear from experts on the labor movement as well as to meet other YDSA members from around the country, so we hope you can make it and invite other members!
