🌹Socialist Night School: Democracy is Power

Why is building a democratic culture in unions important to union success? How does building this democratic culture lead to running a more effective local union and getting more members involved? And what are the consequences of not building a culture of democracy?

Join us as we discuss all these questions, and more! Kickoff talk will be given by current Labor Notes' Labor-Climate Organizer and past EBDSA co-chair Keith B.B. Psst... we may even have a coauthor in the audience with us!🫢

This event will be held in hybrid format, but in-person attendance is highly encouraged.

🍺Optional drinks and social time to follow the event!
