Raising Expectations and Raising Hell

US labour activist Jane McAlevey to speak in Dublin.

Monday 17th November 7:00pm, Thomas Davis Lecture Theatre, Trinity College Dublin

You are invited to attend a discussion with author and trade union activist Jane McAlevey.

Join Siobhán O'Donoghue in a discussion with Jane McAlevey about her book Raising Expectations (and Raising Hell). In her book, McAlevey describes her experiences in the labour movement organising bold, large scale campaigns in right to work Nevada and elsewhere in the U.S., rebuilding the labour movement into a winning movement. McAlevey's experiences organising in the student, environmental justice and union movement reflect her central belief that meaningful change can only come with "whole-worker organising" that puts ordinary people at the center of their own struggle, in their workplaces and in their communities.

What lessons can we learn from her experiences in building worker power? How can we apply them to Ireland today?

Organised by Mandate Trade Union, IBOA the Finance Union, Communication Workers' Union, Spectacle of Defiance and Hope,
Maynooth MA in Community Education, Equality and Social Activism, TCD Dept of Sociology, Migrant Rights Council of Ireland
