The goal of is to provide our base with basic information and training around labor rights and organizing. We spent our first session getting to know each other and exploring our individual leadership styles. Then, we learned about local labor laws and workers\u2019 rights in the city of Philadelphia. During the third session, we trained workers on how to advocate for their rights in the workplace and how to tap into collective action to make meaningful change.
