Human Trafficking: A Global Issue with Local Impact
Jan Edwards
Mostly we think of human trafficking as an 'over there' issue, however, with the recent
arrests of Ghislane Maxwell and Peter Nyguard, the implications are much closer to
home. In this session we will look at a global view of human trafficking, bringing
it back to our own backyard and what we can do together to disrupt it.
Time: 10:30 a.m. – 11:45 a.m.
Venue: Virtual
Employment Law
Attorney Mike Grossman
The workshop explores foundational rights of service industry employees, with a focus
on tipped hour waged employees, along with the current legal trends within the Department
of Labor and federal courts. Topics include: unpaid hours, valid tip pool schemes,
tipped vs. untipped labor, workplace discrimination, tipped wage notice requirements,
overtime, common workplace violations, and your legal options to remedy workplace
violations.
Time: 1:00 p.m. – 2:15 p.m.

Racial Wealth Gap Learning Simulation
Bread for the World
The simulation is an ineractive tool that helps people understand the connections
among racial equity, hunger, poverty, and wealth. It is a good first step for people
unaware of structural inequality, a support tool for those who want deeper understanding
of structural inequality, and a source of information for experts who want to know
the quantifiable economic impact of each policy that has widened today's racial, hunger,
income, and wealth divides.
Time: 2:30 p.m. – 5:15 p.m.
Venue: Virtual
Film Screening: Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution
Film Screening & Panel Discussion
Join us as we celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act
with this film screening and discussion. Down the road from Woodstock, a revolution
blossomed at a ramshackle summer camp for teenagers with diasbilities, transforming
their lives and igniting a landmark movement. Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution is
executive produced by Barack Obama and Michelle Obama.
Partner Organization: Office for Students with Disabilities
