Join us for Labor Day for a powerful Rap Session with organizers from Strike for Our Rights and the MTA Labor Caucus. Together we’ll connect histories of courage to today’s struggles and gear up for bold upcoming actions — including a U.S. “Day Off,” inspired by the Icelandic Women’s Strike, to show the power of a people united against corporate rule.

August 28 11:00am PT/ 12:00 pm MT/ 1:00pm CT/ 2:00 om ET

Speakers include:

Cleo Zell 

Cleo grew up attending marches and protests with her family in Houston, TX. Those experiences- from saving a neighborhood pool to fighting for a cure for AIDS- helped shape her belief that we have voices, and we should use them together to fight for the common good. Inspired by people all over the world using collective action, especially the Icelandic Women’s Day Off in 1975, Cleo joined "Strike for Our Rights" to help make general strikes a part of the USA culture. She is a Pilates teacher and community advocate.
