Volunteers Needed to Spread the Gospel of Labor

The Chicago Federation of Labor, in partnership with Arise Chicago, will be presenting Labor in the Pulpit/on the Bimah/in the Minbar over the Labor Day weekend Aug. 31–Sept. 1.

This annual event has a long history of connecting labor and faith communities by inviting volunteer members of the labor movement to be guest speakers at congregations and faith organizations throughout Greater Chicago.

Once the volunteer speakers are assigned a congregation, they will receive a speech that they may read from and will have the opportunity to describe their own experiences in the labor movement.

Through this type of outreach and education program, union members demonstrate how working together with religious communities can achieve social and economic justice.

Since its launch in Chicago more than 20 years ago, thousands of congregations across the country now participate in this program.
Join your fellow SAG-AFTRA performers and sign-up to participate. To volunteer or for more information, please contact Mike Hartge at (312) 906-2432 or by email at mhartge@chicagolabor.org.
