Portland Jobs with Justice Jubilee with AFA-CWA President Sara Nelson on September 26
We’re so excited to announce this year’s annual dinner! Join us on Thursday, September 26 at 6:30PM at the Portland Art Museum to celebrate a year of victories.
In addition to a delicious meal, cash bar, and raffle, we’re thrilled to announce our keynote speaker is none other than AFA-CWA International President, Sara Nelson. Sara has served as the International President of the AFA-CWA, AFL-CIO since 2014, representing 55,000 of aviation’s first responders at 20 airlines. She has been a union Flight Attendant since 1996 when she started flying at United Airlines.
The New York Times called her "America's most powerful flight attendant,” InStyle Magazine placed her on their Top 50 Badass Women list, the New Yorker did a major profile in 2022, and Fast Company put her on the cover of their Summer 2021 magazine with the headline, “Workers Strike Back.” Sara often says corporations have money and control but workers have the power, and the Labor Movement is for all working people. She encourages women everywhere to join unions and run unions. Come to our annual dinner to deepen community with comrades and be inspired by Sara’s words as we prepare to keep fighting for the working class in 2025!
