Courageous Conversations on Race and the Labor Movement, Hybrid Workshop for Kitsap & Olympic Labor Councils

How do we talk to members and coworkers who think differently than us (politics, racial and gender justice, membership, etc...)? Would you like to be a better leader in your workplace and a voice for change? These are such big issues – what can we actually do about it?

This participatory workshop is designed to give you practical tools for building union solidarity within your workplace. This 2 hour session will help you to engage in effective conversations to build unity and solidarity among those you work with. Learn more at wslc.org/race-and-labor.

Courageous Conversations on Race and the Labor Movement will be held Thursday May 19, 2022 from 5:45pm to 7:45pm, Interpretation and closed captioning are available upon request.

To participate virtually you will need a computer, tablet, or smartphone with internet access. The in-person gatherings may change to virtual if the COVID conditions change.
