Creativity Hits The Streets

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)

The annual Conference on Creative Organizing and the Great Labor Arts Exchange wrap up today with two great events. At noon, they’ll bring puppets, street theatre and more creative organizing to downtown DC’s Lafayette Park in an action to “bring attention and energy to issues currently facing working people, America and its leaders,” including the Employee Free Choice Act, comprehensive immigration reform, poverty, health and education reform. Then at 7:30P it’s "Raise Your Voice and Be Heard," the conference’s annual free concert out at the National Labor College, featuring the Joe Hill Award and the DC Labor Chorus. Both events are sponsored by the Labor Heritage Foundation.
