</strong></span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Over 35,000 people </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">nationwide</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> have participated in this highly acclaimed workshop. "The Growing Divide" reviews recent changes in income and wealth distribution using human graph activities, and examines the rules changes that have fueled economic inequality. We will lay out a range of strategic initiatives and specific and immediate steps we can take to reverse the growing gap between the rich and everyone else.</span></div>

<div><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The “4Bs” workshop is aimed at activists, students, workers – as well as anyone interested in helping our towns, states, and nation construct a more equitable economy. Participants will review the trends and events that created the housing bubble and the financial meltdown, and explore the impact of the crisis on their jobs, families and communities. Together we will identify strategies and individual actions we can take to help build a broad-based, inclusive, and democratic social movement for economic justice. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #fc8902;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><strong><br />
</strong></span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 11pt;">This workshop establishes the notion of “progressive” taxation as the most responsible and fair system for raising adequate revenue, raises awareness about the role of government as provider of necessary infrastructure, services, and social safety net, stimulus for job creation, and protector of the common wealth. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br />
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 11pt;">"Fair Taxes For All" provides clear and accessible information about the scope of the Bush tax laws, and tax trends in the last 50 years, especially the tax shift from asset-owners, corporations, and the wealthy to wage earners. We will expose the political and social agenda driving the changes in tax rules and the attack on the public sector over the last several decades. </span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size: 11pt;">We will also review campaigns for action that help to address the “jobless recovery,” move us toward a more responsible and adequate tax system, protect consumers from the excesses of Wall Street speculation (financial sector reform), and ensure that government is accountable and responsive to the vast majority of workers rather than to large corporations and wealthy investors.</span></div>

</strong></span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 11pt;">There is a growing clamor about our immigration “problem.” But what are the facts about immigration? What is pushing and pulling workers and families to leave their homeland and emigrate to the U.S.? Who benefits from rules that allow entrance by some workers and criminalize others? What do foreign-born and domestic workers have in common? How can we evaluate proposed immigration “reforms”? This workshop provides information, analysis, and strategies for action to close the political and social divides that pit workers and communities against each other.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br />
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 11pt;">This workshop helps participants critically examine the way in which race shapes the distribution of resources and privilege in the U.S. We use several participatory activities and dialogue to analyze the role of government in supporting (for people of European descent) or blocking (for people of color) the accumulation of assets and, in effect, helping create economic apartheid in the U.S. The workshop also reviews strategies, campaigns, and actions that will help close the racial wealth divide and promote create greater economic equality in general.</span></div>
