In 2019, the Pittsburgh Labor Choir came together to carry on that tradition here in the Steel City. Since then the Choir has sung for, among others, Starbucks workers, SEIU nurses, Post Gazette strikers, Carnegie Museum workers, and many others. Acoustic Music Works has recently moved to a new location on the Southside. They have a performance space in their new store and have expressed particular interest in performances that highlight the connections between music and peoples’ struggles.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"We are proposing an evening of short talks by a group of Union leaders, members, and activists describing their current struggles for justice. These could be contract campaigns or organizing drives. Between these presentations the Choir would perform songs related to those struggles - many having been sung at actual rallies and picket lines.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"The choir would very much like to have the endorsement of the Labor Council for this project and have someone from the Council be the MC for the evening. The Choir will turnout our network of activists and fan base. We hope that the Labor Council will advertise to its affiliated Unions.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"The Unions that the Choir has sung for and will reach out to for speakers include Starbucks Workers, Museum and Library workers, Pitt graduate students, Pitt Staff, ATI Steelworkers, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Workers, SEIU nurses, AFSCME Local 2719, LCLAA, and APALA.
