Come join us at NYSUTA headquarters, 800 Troy Schenectady Road, Latham, from 9:30 am to 2 pm on October 11, 2018, for our Fall Conference. As part of RC 10's Social Justice program, this year's presentation will be Runaway Inequality: An Activists Guide to Economic Justice. Program presenter Charlie Albanetti, Director of Citizen Action of New York, will lead us in an interactive workshop and discussion of the effects of government deregulation, financial strip-mining, and cuts to social spending. The top 1 percent controls nearly 40 percent of America's wealth, and inequality is at epidemic levels. Learn how we can turn the tides.
This workshop and lunch will be free of charge. The $20 reservation will be returned to you after the workshop has concluded and you return a short evaluation.
