About the club

 Hey guys! 

This is the official website for the Civil Rights Equals Labor Rights club! This is simply the place to talk about any issues concerning your rights in the workplace, your right to form a union, etc! We want to discuss the different inequities that we face as workers and navigate solutions to the problems we see in our everyday life. We believe that your rights in the workplace are your civil rights. We all deserve to work in an environment that treats us fairly, regardless of our gender, sex, race, ethnicity, religious beliefs, etc. If you share these values, this club might be the place for you. 

As of right now, we need more members! this is a very small club and is fairly new, so if you know anybody who is interested, please let us know. We will email anyone who reaches out to us with meeting plans and fundraising activities. 

Thank you!
