More Details Live Stream or in person!

As we commemorate Labor Day, this talk will provide a brief overview of the tumultuous history of the U.S. labor movement and its relevance for our lives today. We will explore the meaning and scope of labor unions, the legislative context of union formation and survival, and the current strength of U.S. unions in historical and comparative perspective. Along the way, we will discuss the true origins of “Labor Day”. With guest speaker Michael Wallace.

September 13, 2026: Turning Toward Active Hope

More Details Live Stream or in person!

Let’s explore Joanna Macy’s teaching on the “Spiral of the Work that Reconnects” and how it offers a practice that can help us nurture active hope. Macy says this is the work that can help us “face the mess we’re in without going crazy.”
