 February 24th, 2025 --  Clinton Community Center (101 S Hicks St, Clinton, TN 37716) 

5:30 to 7:00pm

President Biden was the most pro-union President in history, the first sitting President to walk a picket line. Biden and Harris fought to protect workers’ free and fair choice to join a union. The Biden Administration promoted strong labor standards, enforced rules against unfair labor practices, and created pathways to good-paying jobs for all Americans whether they went to college or not. Trump and Project 2025 will change the landscape of the American workforce and the US economy. Project 2025 calls for a mass firing of career professionals, replacing them with inexperienced partisan recruits. Project 2025 is anti-organized labor, favors management over workers, and is a recipe for a partisan, authoritarian government. 

Come hear more about what’s at stake with the implementation of Project 2025 at our February meeting. The speaker, Sylvia Woods, worked for AFL-CIO for 30 years and is a proud union member for 45 years. Sylvia is the President of the Democratic Women of Knoxville and is a familiar Board Member of the Tennessee Democratic Party. You will leave the meeting educated and empowered to engage in a Call to Action to protect the American workforce. 

You can download the Project 2025 document from the Home page.

Pot-luck supper: Come share in a pot-luck dinner at 5:30 before the program begins at 6:00pm. Bring a dish to share (with serving utensils please) and enjoy the good company.
