We’re hosting an important conversation.
On Wednesday, May 4, we’re joining the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists Canada (CBTU) to present:
Building the Solidarity Dividend:
A Conversation with Heather McGhee
Wednesday, May 4
8:00 p.m. EDT
Zoom
Heather McGhee is one of the most brilliant and influential thinkers exploring inequality today. Both her viral TED talk and her instant New York Times bestseller The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together reveal the devastating true cost of racism—not just for people of colour, but for everyone.
Deeply stirring, intelligent, and compassionate, McGhee’s vision offers an actionable roadmap during one of the most critical—and most troubled—periods in history.
Read Heather McGhee’s bio here.
On May 4, learn about what McGhee calls the Solidarity Dividend: “gains that come when people come together across race, to accomplish what we simply can’t do on our own.”
Here’s what people have to say about her book The Sum of Us, which spent 10 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list:
“The book that should change how progressives talk about race.” – The New York Times
“Required reading to move the country forward…” – The Chicago Tribune
Listen to Heather McGhee talk about her book in this 9-minute video of her appearance on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.
Our May 4 event will mark McGhee’s first public appearance in Canada. Be part of the pan-Canadian audience tuning in!
This event is generously sponsored by Cavalluzzo, Goldblatt Partners, and Koskie Minsky.
We can’t wait to see you there.
