Working Class Literature Festival | Washington DC

Bol Co-op present DC’s inaugural Working Class Literature Festival, which will take place on May 1st-2nd at the Festival Center.

It is inspired by the annual Working Class Literature Festival in Florence, which emerged from the GKN factory occupation, where workers turned struggle into solidarity, and solidarity into celebration and a call to action.
