There is much that we can share with our brothers and sisters in Latin America and the Caribbean. With globalization assaults and after the elections in the U.S., the response is UNITY of all working people for our needs and our right to health, education, housing, and equality, with social and job security.
For the future, spread the word about this conference, send a representative to build the global workers' movement!
Cristian Cuevas, a leader of the Confederation of Chilean Workers and president of the Confederation of Copper Workers with whom we recently spoke, said: “We call on class solidarity: to resurrect the spirit of past labor struggles; to push forward the labor movement in this 21st century; to recuperate the memory of the glorious workers from Santa Maria de Iquique in Chile and of the workers in Chicago in the United States.”
Join us for a Special Evening in Solidarity with the Cuban 5 on Friday Dec 3 with Ailí Labañino Cardoso, the oldest daughter of Ramon Labañino and a video from Dolores Huerta co-founder of the United Farmworkers Union with Cesar Chavez. First ever display of cartoons by Gerardo Hernandez -- one of the Cuban Five, anti-terrorists unjustly in U.S. prisons.
