Annual Bread and Roses Potluck

  • 1137 Erin Street Madison, WI, 53715 United States (map)

(end time estimated)
All are welcome to the annual Bread & Roses potluck, where we remember the anniversary of the 1912 Lawrence Textile Strike (MA) and the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire (NY).

The Triangle Shirtwaist Fire sparked protests that shaped the labor and workers' safety movements for decades to come. The Bread and Roses strike succeeded in uniting unskilled immigrant workers from many countries speaking many languages.

Bring a dish to pass that represents your heritage...or bread, or roses.

Brief presentation about textile labor's past and present after the meal.
