Fri. January 31 - in-person only @CUNYSLU

Are Working Class Voters Done with Democrats? Class Dealignment & the Two Party System   Friday, January 31 1:30pm - 3:00pm Free and open to all.  Lunch will be served.    *In-person* only: CUNY School of Labor and Urban Studies 25 West 43rd Street, 18th floor, NYC 10036 (map)    REGISTER:  slucuny.swoogo.com/31January2025   Why did so many working-class voters support Republicans over Democrats in the 2024 elections?  Was the problem simply 'messaging', or have Democrats entrenched themselves as the party of corporate elites and Wall Street? What can Democrats do to win back this crucial demographic and how do we define (or re-define) the working-class?  Will Democrats make a strong commitment to economic populism to reverse this class dealignment? To delve into these questions join us for a conversation with Jared Abbott, director of the Center for Working Class Politics, and New Labor Forum Editor-at-Large Micah Uetricht.  This program is a live recording for SLU’s podcast Reinventing Solidarity.

How can looking back at previous far right policy projects help prepare us in our fight to protect workers? Join us to hear from law & policy experts and journalists as they discuss these urgent questions.
