DC Jobs with Justice: Cross-Cultural Dialogue Series Begins Saturday

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)
The first in a series of dialogues on race, immigration and building cross-cultural alliances in DC will take place this Saturday from 1-3P."The goal of this event is to arm workers and residents with concrete tools that will help them come together and win concrete victories," said Daniel del Pielago, tenant organizer for the Latino Economic Development Corporation. "People of all races and nationalities are losing their homes, being pushed out by gentrification and struggling to preserve their housing." The series – a collaborative education project between members of the Fair Budget Coalition and DC Jobs with Justice – will provide a safe forum for stakeholders to express their feelings and examine the root causes of division between communities and share tools that can be used to build cross-cultural unity.
