Education for Struggle
All of America's workers are under relentless attack. No region of the country has been more oppressed then the U. S. South. Today's labor movement is on the defensive and its historic failure to build power and worker solidarityin the South has continuing consequensces today. We need new workplace and community strategies to build a sustaining movement for social and economic justice throughout our region. In the past unconventional worker schools and training models have played an important role South, providing "education for struggle" for past generations of activists. A new generation of activists need to be prepared to lead a great struggle and build solidarity today's South and beyond.
The Solidarity Education Center's regional weekend Schools are designed to bring members and leaders of worker and community organizations together to explore strategies to do just that.
Discussion leaders include regional labor educators, strategists, and social activists
