Women Make Movies, One Fair Wage, and Social Action Media
During Labor Week 2020, the second week of September, Women Make Movies, One Fair Wage, and Social Action Media will be hosting a virtual screening of Abby Ginzberg's new film WAGING CHANGE, which examines the relationship between economic, racial, and gender justice for restaurant workers.
WAGING CHANGE shines a light on an American struggle hidden in plain sight: the women-led movement to end the federal tipped minimum wage for restaurant workers. It weaves together the stories of workers struggling to make ends meet with the efforts of Saru Jayaraman and others at One Fair Wage. Together they face off against the powerful National Restaurant Association lobby and fight for one fair wage.
The screening will be followed by a panel discussion with Abby Ginzberg (filmmaker), Saru Jayaraman (president, One Fair Wage), Nikki Cole (National Policy Campaign Director, One Fair Wage), and Cheadza Kundidzora (restaurant worker).
