LaborFest 2020 presents: A Poetry Reading - Giving Voices by LaborFest Writers

Readers from the LaborFest Writers Group share memoir, storytelling, oral history, and poetry.

The theme of this year’s reading is LaborFest Writers’ Reflections on Current Events.

LaborFest Writers explore the issues that we face today within our families, communities, and government whether its health, housing, jobs, race and gender discrimination, or homelessness.

The LaborFest Writers Group and Workshop was created to honor labor and working people and for “Giving Voice” like the title of the Group’s anthology.

Readers include:
Nellie Wong, Margaret Cooley, Jerry Path, Keith Cooley, Richard Chen and Alice Rogoff.

This free LIVE Zoom event is Sunday, July 26 at 2pm and is accessible only online.
