Aspen Institute: Seizing the Moment on Worker Rights – A Toolkit for Organizers and Practitioners

The Aspen Institute is hosting a webinar on Seizing the Moment on Worker Rights: A Toolkit for Organizers and Practitioners on Wednesday, September 4^th, starting at 2:00 PM.

Today’s politicized environment poses unique challenges for worker rights advocates. With Congress often divided, and many state and local governments as well, the path to improving worker rights through legislation is narrow. Nonetheless, we have seen some remarkable progress on worker rights over the last few years through executive action. Leveraging executive action, however, is not a straightforward and easily discernible path for grassroots activists and organizations interested in advancing worker rights and job quality. This webinar co-hosted by the Aspen Institute Economic Opportunities Program and Workshop — will feature a panel of experienced public servants and organizers. Speakers will dive into the lessons and stories from Toolkit and provide guidance to advocates and organizers striving to advance worker rights. This event is part of the Economic Opportunities Program’s Job Quality in Practice series, which examines the strategies and approaches practitioners are using to improve job quality and expand economic opportunity.
