If you’re in Washington, D.C., next week, hope you can stop by the AFL-CIO for a discussion on “American Workers in an Age of Austerity.” Panelists will talk about what we can learn from the past as we strategize for the future in the context of labor, progessives and the current U.S. political environment.

Join Dissent  co-editor Michael Kazin and Washington Post   columnist Harold Meyerson in a panel moderated by American Rights at Work Executive Director Kimberly Freeman Brown.

A discussion will follow the event, which is Wednesday, Jan. 25, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the AFL-CIO.

The event is sponsored by Dissent  magazine and the Kalmanovitz Initiative for Labor and the Working Poor of Georgetown University.
