"Religion and Labor: Beyond Charity and Advocacy to Deep Solidarity" with Jorge and Rosemary Rieger
- How do we dig deeper and rethink both religion and labor?
- How do we get past short term results and find new energy for political action?
- How is activism tied to new visions of religion and labor?
Understand the deep connections of religion and labor:
- How does the perspective of labor reshape religion and faith communities?
- How does the perspective of religion reshape labor and political engagement?
Learn about the fundamental differences of charity, advocacy, and deep solidarity.
Discuss specific campaigns that bring together labor, religion, and communities - for example Workers’ Rights Boards, Peer Chaplains’ programs, and solidarity campaigns with the labor movement.
