New Labor Forum: Labor, the Working Class and the Democratic Party in 2016

September 18, 2015 @ 8:30 am - 10:15 am

Roundtable debate

While early days, the Sanders campaign continues to gather steam, despite much discussed weaknesses. At same time, Clinton has embraced a number of progressive positions.  What do these developments imply about the electoral landscape?  How does organized labor assess the moment and how would they measure an electoral ‘victory’? 

Confirmed Speakers:

  • Larry Cohen, former President, CWA, Making Progressive Politics Work
  • Juan Gonzalez, co-host Democracy Now!
  • Randi Weingarten, President, AFT
  • Basil Smikle, Executive Director, NYS Democratic Party

Moderated by Ed Ott, JSMI

This event will be livestreamed – URL to be provided the day before the event.
