Presentation on "How the Values of America's Founding are Relevant for American Workers Today." 

An invite from LSE alumus Jerome Braun: "the meeting I have organized for Monday, November 11, 2013, people can start coming in at 5:30pm to socialize, and we can have the meeting from 6:00 - 8:00pm to discuss present-day politics and how this relates or doesn't relate to labor issues and working-class issues in general, and perhaps even to come up with political ideas that hopefully would have some relevance for the next election season that will start in about a year."

The meeting will be held at the conference room of the law firm of Korey Cotter Heather & Richardson at 20 S. Clark, Suite 500, Chicago, IL.
