End location: Workers Tap & Cafe
– Are you among the majority of Americans who support unionized workforces, helping to bring that support to its highest level in 60 years? – Are you concerned about the unprecedented union-busting executive order that recently came from the White House? – Are you interested in unionizing your workplace but haven’t quite had the wherewithal to get started? – Are you outraged over the recent detentions of union members like Lewelyn Dixon, David Huerta, Alfredo Juarez Zeferino, and others? If you answered yes to these questions, join us for an informative ride through inner SE Portland with stops where we’ll hear from local union members representing Unite Here, LIUNA, ONA, and IWW. If you’re already a union member, wear your union shirt, bring a sign and a worker friend who isn’t a union member but could be. Our final location is Workers Tap & Cafe, which is employee-owned and operated. They also have reservable event spaces. We’ll be arriving at Workers Tap around 7:45p. This ride is scheduled to occur before the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW)* two-day organizing training in Corvallis June 28–29th to give you time to sign up and plan your trip. More details in sign-up link below. *IWW represents Portland workers at Fried Egg I'm In Love, Voodoo Doughnuts, Peet’s Coffee, DIY Bar, and more. Ride organizer is not an IWW member, nor is attending the training as I already belong to a union, nor do I have any current or past affiliation with IWW. Just wanted to spread the word about what looks like a promising event to build more union membership in our local economy!
