On Tuesday, June 6th, The Washington-Baltimore News Guild is proud to support and announce an Organizing Event and Happy Hour Fundraiser for our member & friend in the struggle for Labor Rights, Payday Senior Labor Reporter, Mike Elk who will be a host a discussion of our struggle to #OrganizeTheSouth.
Over the past several years, Elk has been on the ground reporting from Mississippi on the efforts of Nissan Workers, from Charleston, SC on the brave union drive to organize workers at Boeing, and has lived in Chattanooga, TN while covering unionization efforts at Volkswagen.
Elk has driven over 7,000 miles throughout the South and has diligently covered and shed a light on things the mainstream has overlooked.
Join us at The News Guild at 1225 Eye Street (I), Suite 300, NW, Washington, DC 20005 at 5:30pm on Tuesday June 6th for the discussion, pizza, beer and stories of Organizing.
All Contributions and Donations are welcome! You can RSVP on facebook here.
