Mother Jones DVD Available

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)

A recent worksite screening of “Mother Jones: America’s Most Dangerous Woman” at Union Privilege “was a great success!” reports Jennifer Wright Dorr. The 20-minute film about legendary labor organizer Mary “Mother” Jones (right) -- whose birthday was May 1 -- “was very powerful for staff to watch. One person noted how small you feel sometimes as just one person but Mother Jones proves that one person can make a nationwide difference. It was the perfect length for our lunch.” A DVD of the film is available from the DC Labor FilmFest for free loan to locals for worksite screenings; email streetheat@dclaborarchives.org for details.
