It all starts today, June 20, in downtown Silver Spring, and there's still time to register! Join labor artists, activists, and allies from across the country for a weekend packed with workshops, performances, and powerful conversations at the intersection of art and labor.

Highlights include Friday night’s Song & Poetry Contest — featuring the Joe Hill Awards (see story below) — and Saturday night’s Laborpalooza Concert; both events are free and open to the public at McGinty’s Public House.
