Event Navigation
Dayton Metro Library’s next guest in its Social Justice Speaker Series is Christian Smalls. SJSS: Workers Fight Back – The Worker-Led Movement to Organize Amazon will be held Thursday, October 19, from 6-7:30 pm, in the Main Library’s Eichelberger Forum.
Comprised of award-winning speakers providing insights from their professional fields and personal journeys, the Series addresses some of the most critical social justice issues of today. Mr. Smalls is a former Amazon warehouse supervisor who helped open three major warehouses on the East Coast. However, in 2020, he was fired for organizing a protest against the company’s unsafe COVID-19 pandemic working conditions.
Mr. Smalls is the founder and president of the Amazon Labor Union, an independent, democratic, worker-led labor union at Amazon in Staten Island, NY. Also the founder of The Congress of Essential Workers (TCOEW), a nationwide collective of essential workers and allies, he has led the fight for better working conditions, better wages, and a better world.
In a dynamic conversation with DML, Mr. Smalls will share his experiences in taking on e-Commerce mogul, Amazon. This program is co-sponsored by IUE-CWA and Co-Op Dayton. All ages are welcome. Registration is not required.
Additional information about Mr. Smalls and the Social Justice Speaker Series can be found at DaytonMetroLibrary.org/SocialJustice. Additional questions may also be direct to the Library’s Ask Me Line at 937.463.2665.
