DESCRIPTION:Isn’t it time to fight back?  This reading and discussion series is an 
 instrument for doing just that. \n\nParticipants will look at past 
 achievements and failures, traditions and innovations, to understand how 
 workers got where we are today — and how to move forward.\n\nSession 4, 
 Wednesday 7/6, “Rise of the Excluded: Changing Demographics of the 
 Workforce and Leadership of the Most Oppressed.” \n\nIn this week's 
 session, participants will discuss the impact that women, immigrants, 
 people of color, and LGBTQAI+ folks have had on shaping labor, and the 
 leading role the most exploited workers must play in bringing back a 
 fighting workers movement. \n\nFrom the Knights of Labor in the 1870s, 
 bringing together Black, white and immigrant workers, to the mass entry of 
 women into the workforce in the 1960s and 70s, to current struggles of 
 employees organizing at Amazon and Starbucks, the militant leadership of 
 the most oppressed is a continuous thread. \n\nJoin the discussion!\n\n$3-6 
 donation requested per session to benefit the Freedom Socialist newspaper, 
 a great source of labor news, as part of the $100,000 Freedom Socialist 
 Fund Drive.\n\nFull Schedule:\n\nJune 15\nPower of Workers – The
