DMC Link-up: Tom Lewendowski (Ft. Wayne Workers Project)

Tuesday, May 1, 2018 - 6:00pm

DFMC MAY DAY LINK-UP FEATURING TOM LEWENDOWSKI

When: Tuesday May 1st 6pm-8pm

Where: Upland Brewery Reception Room

In honor of May Day our May Link-up will be on May 1 instead of our usual first Thursday. Jobs with Justice is co-hosting this event.

Our guest speaker will be Tom Lewendowski, co-founder of the Workers Project in Fort Wayne Indiana. This project seeks to create a bond between union members and non-union members - workers of all stripes - white, Latino, black, Asian, undocumented, unemployed - and to organize them all into one community. Long before Trump came along with his bigoted fear mongering which pitted union workers against non-union workers, whites against people of color, and everyone against undocumented people, the Workers Project was working on the premise that they all are in the same boat and that, as Tom so colorfully put it, "if they're f---d, we're f---d."

Free beer and hors d'oeurves will be served.
