Women in West Virginia Teach Powerful Lessons

Presenters:
- Kate Doyle Griffiths (via Skype) is active with International Women’s Strike-U.S. and the Red Bloom collective in New York City. Kate spent time in West Virginia during the strike.
- David Camfield is active with Winnipeg Labour Council and Solidarity Winnipeg.
