The Louisville Workers Brigade organizes three primary types of events: Educationals, Community Socials, and Solidarity Actions.
EDUCATIONALS: Educationals are presentations held for the benefit of working people and may be conducted by Brigade organizers, guest speakers, or allied groups. Whenever possible, Educationals will be in-person with a virtual attendance option; Educationals will be recorded and posted both here on our website (under the "Educationals" tab) and on our YouTube channel. Educational presentations will be organized by the Brigade at least monthly.
COMMUNITY SOCIALS: Community Socials offer Louisville workers the opportunity to meet fellow workers in the area, connect with local union organizers, and to learn about the Brigade and our mission. Community Socials are very informal, allowing for multiple conversations covering a wide range of working class topics among attendees.
SOLIDARITY ACTIONS: Solidarity actions are direct actions to support working people in the city. They may take the form of strike and picket line support, mobilizing solidarity around workers attempting to organize a union or to negotiate a contract, or a rally to build awareness around a Labor issue. These solidarity actions are organized as needed and workers are welcome to reach out to the Brigade for assistance in organizing such an event!
BELOW IS A CHRONOLOGICAL LISTING OF UPCOMING BRIGADE EVENTS...
June Educational Presentation:
The History of the Class Struggle
WHEN? Wednesday, June 18, 6:15 to 8:15 pm
WHERE? Iroquois Library (601 W Woodlawn Ave, Louisville, KY 40215)
History is the story of class struggle, and our society is no exception. In today’s world, the owning class possesses the means to make their wildest dreams possible off the backs of the international working class. These classes are locked in a bitter struggle with the owning class striving to maintain its exploitative, oppressive, and brutal rule, while the working class fights to combat and liberate itself from this system. But…How did we get here? How did society get divided into classes? How has the class struggle ebbed and flowed over the years? What is the state of the class struggle today? Why should we struggle as a class? Join us on Thursday, May 15, to get an answer to these questions and to learn more about the history of the class struggle and what that means for our collective liberation from oppression and exploitation!
