Pete Seeger Chorus Concert Tribute

Every July day has Laborfest events, some of which are missing from the red letter listings. This "al fresco" textbook for all of us will teach the importance of a general strike which we need to put an end to the profit motive that is the cause of the budget "crisis" and war. On July 25 at 7 p.m. at the ILWU hall on Second St near King, join us for a multi-labor chorus tribute to Pete Seeger as the world celebrates his 90th birthday.
