Hilton Minneapolis
1001 Marquette Ave.
Minneapolis, MN 55403

Featured Speakers

Angela Peoples & Eduardo Garcia

Given the scarcity of jobs, high levels of unemployment, growing debt, and attacks on workers’ rights, it's no surprise that young people are mobilizing for social and economic justice all across the globe—from Egypt to Wisconsin. Campus Progress’ Angela Peoples will be discussing the role young people have played in state battles to protect workers’ rights, and Eddie Garcia will talk about why youth labor organizers should be invested in immigration reform that works for everyone.

Lend your skills and talents to this growing drumbeat for change by joining the AFL-CIO and hundreds of young workers, activists and leaders in Minneapolis for the second annual Next Up Young Workers Summit. See here for more information.
