With the increase in anti-LGBTQ (and especially anti-trans) sentiment among American legislators, the Independent Labor Club views it as pressing to host a public conversation on issues facing LGBTQ workers. We are inviting historians and organizers in order to discuss the history of autonomous struggles and what lessons can the working class at large learn from their efforts.
