Unions, Climate, and the Fight for Affordability

Friday June 12, 2026 3:05pm - 4:50pm CDT

Lambert

Corporate profiteers and climate change are driving our cost of living out of control. We'll learn from organized workers leading and winning fights that promote affordable communities and a safer climate. Then we'll discuss how our own unions could lead, with contracts and coalitions, to bring down the cost of a good living.
