The 5th Annual Labor, Social, & Environmental Justice Fair
10:30-11 AM
Students organize the Fair as part of a Labor Studies internship. Labor Studies has been a major at CSUDH for over 30 years, with courses in labor history, labor law, cultural representations of labor, and the relationship of race, gender, ethnicity, and class struggles. Organizing the fair gives Labor Studies students a hands-‐on experience in teamwork, one-‐on-‐one organizing, budgeting, using creativity and culture to organize, and firsthand contact with groups involved in social change and empowerment.
This year’s fair is dedicated to Marilyn Brady, one of our club’s advisors. Marilyn was part of our Labor Studies family. She retired in December, and passed away in March. We miss her terribly.
What is the purpose of the Fair? Scott Hill, a DH Labor Studies graduate, proposed the Fair as a way to publicize our major and connect the department’s goals to the CSUDH mission. The 50 plus labor and social justice groups who come to our campus contribute to our understanding of diversity, a sustainable environment, and provide engagement with the surrounding communities. They offer students a pathway to jobs and internships, and nurture a commitment to justice and social responsibility. We reach out to high school students and community college students, many from underrepresented groups, to invite them to interact with social justice organizations and to encourage them to continue their studies.
As a society we are fighting for the right to make and win our demands. The so-‐called austerity philosophy tries to make social justice illegitimate, but we can combine to make our voices heard. We see culture, art, music, and dance as part of political expression, joining our guest speakers, and workshops to make this a memorable day. The Fair is also a reminder of the upcoming May 1st, International Workers Day, commemorating the massacre of workers in 1886 in Chicago, when anarchists were framed on charges of terrorism after a mass demonstration for the eight hour day. This year there will be May 1st events throughout the world, including here in Los Angeles. For information about Labor Studies, see http://dhlaborstudies.org or call us at 310-‐243-‐3640
