Join us. We are in a moment of authoritarian crisis. The attacks are dizzying in their speed and range: Courts are rolling back labor rights. Trump is dismantling the public sector and cracking down on free speech and protest rights. Employers are scrambling to meet his demands. Immigration agents are abducting workers from the streets. All while the very rich get even richer, and working people struggle to make ends meet. The billionaires behind this assault are using division and fear to keep us isolated and alone. But this moment in history calls for an organized, powerful labor/community movement acting in solidarity to push back and fight forward for economic and racial justice. We have work to do. The Western Massachusetts Area Labor Federation and our allies invite you to the western Massachusetts Fightback School on November 16th to begin this work. This school will bring rank-and-file workers and community members into conversation to: Understand how federal assaults are affecting people in our region Name the bosses and billionaires in our region who are benefiting Assess the power we will need to push back against these bosses Make plans for actions that build this power within unions and community organizations Our hope is that this gathering can become the nucleus for ongoing democratic organizing here in western Massachusetts, to help all of us to win locally and strengthen our muscles to, together, take on the national struggle. https://actionnetwork.org/events/western-ma-fight-back-school
