Join us for a discussion about how bottom-up workplace organizing can defeat Trumpism and the billionaires. Eric Blanc’s new book, We Are the Union, shows that recent struggles from Starbucks, to Amazon, to southern auto, have developed a new organizing model — worker-to-worker unionism — which builds scalable power by giving rank-and-filers an unprecedented degree of leadership. As UAW president Shawn Fain puts it, “We Are the Union is an urgently needed blueprint for how we beat the billionaire class. Every worker should read this book.”
Speakers include: Alex Press (Jacobin), Eric Blanc (Author), Tyrick Pollard (Amazon Worker Organizer), and Adan Esa (Starbucks Worker Organizer)
Event co-sponsors: NYC-DSA, Jacobin, NYC-EWOC, and Debt Collective.
