Santa Barbara County Action Network invites you to listen to the special online celebration of May Day featuring the legendary troubadour of American labor, Charlie King, performing with Elise Bryant, labor arts performer and educator.

They shared songs and poetry commemorating the struggles—past and present—of workers in the US and around the world. 

 

It’s a pleasurable, inspiring way to help SBCAN’s efforts, including right now advocating for hazard pay for frontline grocery and pharmacy workers in our county.
