Hello 350 WA Network! Here are a couple of powerful events and resources for you to have on your radars as we all work to support Black lives and deepen our understanding of justice issues.
Call for support: On Monday, July 20th (all day), workers and allies across the country will Strike for Black Lives with a national day of walkouts and worker actions to demand racial and economic justice, including in the workplace. This national day of action, one month ahead of the Democratic National Convention, will declare that Black Lives Matter and illustrate the ways our fights for racial, economic, healthcare, immigration, climate, and other justice fights are interconnected. Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and Fight for $15 & a Union are bottom-lining these actions and 350.org has signed on as a partner. Both online and in-person events are being planned. Please reply to me off-list with questions about your local group’s engagement or reach out to J20help@seiu.org with general questions.

On Wednesday, July 22nd, at 8 pm EST, LNS will host a webinar on Just Transition: You’ve Heard the Term, Now Hear the Story. Learn the history of the movement from those who’ve played a part in its origins and the labor and environmental justice leaders who founded the Just Transition Alliance. Speakers include Jenice View, José Bravo, Les Leopold, Casey Camp-Horinek and Dave Campbell. Register here.
Ongoing: At 350.org we’re curating a running list of national Social Justice Webinars and Mass Calls to help all of us continue to grow in our understanding of justice. These are great opportunities for your whole team or local group to engage in together as a shared learning experience!
Hope you all find these helpful in your work!
