The election of Donald Trump has highlighted the growing importance of solidarity between the environmental justice and labor movements.
Communities of color, workers rights and environmental protections are all under attack by corporate control of our economy, status quo trade deals, and more. Economic and climate justice activists joined together to defeat the toxic Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). Now, we're coming together to better understand each others priorities related to union organizing, trade, climate change, and more.
A key part of the workshop will be charting out a path to transform trade so it works for people and the environment.
Are you interested in building the ties between the environmental and labor movements, identifying areas of collaboration on shared priorities, and working to transform trade?
