3pm: Occupy the Future: Class Struggle in the USA and the Return of the IWW by Erik Forman

The global economic crisis of 2007 has increased the misery of life under capitalism for workers around the world, particularly the already poor and precarious. However, amidst the tragedy of increased exploitation and poverty, new struggles have erupted, each with their own potentials for human liberation as well as limitations. In this talk, US labour organizer Erik Forman will discuss his experiences rebuilding
the legendary Industrial Workers of the World at Starbucks and in the US fast food industry, participating in the grassroots workers’ movement in Wisconsin and in the Occupy protests, and the role of each of these movements in opening up a path toward a world without bosses, bureaucrats, and exploitation. / Erik Forman, Industrial Workers of the World

The talk will be in English

5pm: Singing concert by Pilvi Kekkonen, Ella Jaakkola and Miriam Bourgeot

7pm: Concert by Rebecca Clamp

Rebecca Clamp returns to the WDC Pavilion Stage, a singer-songwriter-pianist known for her intimate and passionate performance style, and lyrics that explore the small-great things in life with hope and humour.

‘the lyrics are quirky, unexpected and intriguing. A snapper-up of unconsidered trifles, she has an ear for the striking simile’ Philip Ward, Rock’n’Reel Magazine
