— Please share far and wide! — You are invited to the Municipalism and Labor panel <https://www.municipalism.org/>, hosted by the Municipalism Learning Series. Workers are rising up and taking back cities from capitalists and corporations. Unions are negotiating for benefits for the community and not just members, emerging from behind the fortress. This moment of labor insurgency in the aftermath of the pandemic, which laid bare the disposability of the working class, has echoes in historical struggles to make cities more livable and democratic.
