I don’t want anything lower than I am. I am low enough already. I want to rise and to push everything up with me as I go…”\nEsperanza Quintero from the film Salt of the Earth \nOn March 8\, 1857\, women and girls\, many of them immigrants\, in the textile and garment industry in New York City went on strike\,  marching to protest low wages\, 12-hour days\, and inhumane and unsafe working conditions. Although the police broke up the demonstration\, the event is recognized as a pivotal\, early strike by women; helping to inspire decades later\, the celebration of International Women’s Day\, originally known as International Working Women’s Day. International Women’s Day—celebrated worldwide—began as a holiday to recognize the contributions of working women in the fight for organized labor as well as the fight against child labor\, suffrage\, and the fight for equal pay. March 1974 marked the formation and founding of the Coalition of Labor Union Women(CLUW). Formed in Chicago  by 3000+ members from 58 unions to address issues like pay equity\, sexual harassment\, childcare and family leave\, as well as sexism and discrimination within the unions and labor  movement itself\, CLUW\, and women leaders in the labor movement\, continue to play a pivotal role in the struggle for gender equality. Join us for a panel discussion with Pima Area Labor Federation Chair Cecelia Valdez\, Jobs with Justice Organizer Martha Reyes\, and CLUW Vice President Vonda Wilkins on the pivotal and critical role women labor leaders and rank and file continue to play in the struggle for workers’ rights\, women’s equality\, and building the labor movement.\n——————————————————————————————\nFor more information about Salt of the Earth Labor College please email to SELC@webtv.net or call (520)235-0694 \nWe will be depending on your generosity to keep us going.
