"Women Organize" Screens at AFT

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)
Women organizers across the U.S. - including here in Washington - are featured in "Women Organize," a 30-minute film about women who are involved in the global struggles for racial, social, and economic justice. The film - which screens for free at noon today shows five women organizers and explores the campaigns they wage, from working with high schools girls in a low-income neighborhood in Oregon to speaking out for Black lesbians and gays against homophobia or working with Asian immigrant women factory workers in California for decent working conditions. Presented by the DC Labor FilmFest and hosted by the American Federation of Teachers.
