Garment workers in El Salvador attempt to organize their factory in the face of anti-union repression, but management pulls out hoping to crush the movement. Thanks to international solidarity, in particular student organizing, the union not only forms but takes over production. Meanwhile in California, the AFSCME union calls a statewide strike at all UC campuses to win a new contract, and Santa Cruz becomes the focal point when students and workers shut down their university.
Come see how these events play out through two films by Media Insurgente--Producing Just Garments and Estamos Aquí--followed by a discussion with the filmmakers and the workers involved in these struggles. $5-10 Sliding Scale (no one turned away for lack of funds) ***A portion of your ticket price will be donated to Just Garments*** Sponsored By: Global Exchange Center for Political Education CISPES United Students Against Sweatshops Institute for Multi-Racial Justice Bay Area Labor Committee for Peace and Justice SEIU Local 87 AFSCME Local 3299 STIT-Syndicato de Trabajadores de Industrias Textiles (El Salvador) CEAL-Centro de Estudios y Apoyo Laboral (El Salvador) You can see trailers for these films and learn more about Media Insurgente at:
