“This is not a drill: Fighting Right Wing Authoritarianism”
This is a perilous time for many workers who face the wrath of far-right insurgents and rampaging billionaires. In the past the HTUPAA has run webinars for its members to highlight current issues for continued learning opportunities. We invite you to join us to explore the possibilities for fighting back against this onslaught and generating renewed worker support for people-oriented policies.
For this fall, we are excited to announce a Zoom Webinar:
“This is not a drill: Fighting Right Wing Authoritarianism”
on
Wednesday, November 12, at 5:00-6:30 PM EST
We will discuss what is currently happening and how unions can help defend against the attacks on labor, human rights, and education in the current moment.
The speakers include:
Bill Fletcher, HTUP instructor and a long-time racial justice, labor, and international activist, scholar, and author.
