Watch our video on the importance of organizing the South.

Greensboro is no ordinary city—it’s where the Greensboro Sit-Ins sparked a pivotal chapter in the civil rights movement 65 years ago. Today, it’s once again a place of action and solidarity as service workers in the restaurant, retail, care, agricultural and manufacturing industries join together from across the South to build a stronger future.

At our Worker Power Summit, we – the workers – are connecting, learning, singing, and strategizing. After our gathering last year, our plans became a reality, which resulted in big moments for Southern service workers, including when Waffle House workers won raises for the first time in years.

This year we’re sharing stories of resilience, discussing the challenges we face, and celebrating the power we’ve built together. Like the sit-ins that challenged segregation, we’re challenging the status quo for workers in the South—brick by brick, or comb by comb.

Watch this video to see why organizing in the South matters, and share it with your friends.

Just like honeybees, we’re working together to build a hive of justice – and the fruits of our labor will be as sweet as honey.
