As we work towards getting out the current political situation, most of the so-called progressive left seems to be in disarray, with little more to offer than “We don’t like Trump.” Which, to be honest, is not very helpful.
Fortunately, the NAACP has been promoting a positive vision for what needs to be done. This week, the week after labor Day, is “Labor Action Week,” a week to promote the interests and needs of working people — with the slogan, “Fierce Advocates for Working People.” Tonight, the NAACP offers a webinar on all this. Here’s the description:
“This Labor Action Week, we unite under the banner The Urgency of Now to confront the challenges facing working people — and to act. Join us as we shine a light on the fights, the victories, and the voices that keep our movement strong. Together, we will honor the dignity of work, demand policies that protect and empower workers, and inspire a new generation to carry the torch forward.”
It’s not too late to register for the webinar — I just did. Go to this page, then click through to the registration form. And if you can’t make it, I’ll report on the webinar tomorrow
