From San Francisco to New York, labour-community alliances have been instrumental in winning important milestones such as $15 minimum wage legislation; a legislated Retail Workers' Bill of Rights (fair scheduling, decent hours, equal treatment of part-time & full-time workers, curbing involuntary part-time work); paid sick days; union rights and more.



Join us for a conversation with:

- Samantha Adame, Co-Director of Young Workers United (San Francisco)

- Kendall Fells, National Organizing Director for Fight for $15 and SEIU, as well as Fast Food Forward (New York)

- Gordon Mar, Executive Director of Jobs with Justice (San Francisco) 
to share strategies for building a fighting working class movement in Ontario, Canada -- and across North America.
