DESCRIPTION:Book Event with Kim Bobo\n\nJoin us for a discussion with nationally 
 recognized interfaith justice activist Kim Bobo, author of the new book 
 Wage Theft in America: Why Millions of Working Americans Are Not Getting 
 Paid—And What We Can Do About It. Wage Theft in America is an incisive 
 handbook for organizers, workers, and concerned citizens on how to prevent 
 the flagrant exploitation of America’s working people. In the book, Bobo 
 describes how billions of dollars worth of wages are stolen from millions 
 of workers in the United States every year. The scope of these abuses is as 
 staggering as it is wrong—paying employees far less than the legal 
 minimum wage, purposefully misclassifying employees as independent 
 contractors, illegally denying workers overtime pay—and only now are 
 people beginning to take notice. Bobo offers an insightful analysis of the 
 crisis as well as concrete solutions, with special attention to what the 
 new presidential administration should do.\n\nKim Bobo is the founder and 
 executive director of Interfaith Worker Justice, a national network that 
 engages the religious community on issues affecting low-wage workers. A 
 veteran social justice organizer, she is the author of Lives Matter: A 
 Handbook for Christian Organizing and the co-author of Organizing for 
 Social Change, the most widely-used manual on progressive activism in the 
 country. \n\nSponsored by the UC Berkeley Labor Center, East Bay Alliance 
 for a Sustainable Economy (EBASE), East Bay Interfaith Committee for Worker 
 Justice and University Lutheran Chapel.\n\nInformation: Andrea Buffa,
