Activists speak candidly
Video highlights from 'Stepping Up, Stepping Back' summit
Dynamic women activists share key ideas and experiences. Their insights were captured at a special summit hosted by the Berger-Marks Foundation in March, 2010. The summit reached across generations to find out what it takes for a new generation of women to organize and thrive in the labor movement.
Many participants are under 35 years old, while others have spent years breaking down barriers and want to reach out to this younger generation; all are active in unions or in sister movements like the National Organization for Women and American Rights at Work.
