The Social Forum comes on the heels of last month’s Greater DC People's Assembly and among the planned workshops is "Keeping Your Services Off the Chopping Block: the Nuts and Bolts of Building Labor-Community Alliances to Protect Public Services," co-organized by Jobs With Justice and the American Federation of Government Employees. “Throughout the country labor-community coalitions have emerged not only to fight back against the privatization of public resources, but also to provide alternatives for filling the budget gap,” adds Baris. “This workshop is just one of hundreds of opportunities to showcase some of the struggles currently taking place, share best practices and reinvigorate your organizing.” - Ruth Castel-Branco; image courtesy Labor Heritage Foundation
