Join us for a virtual panel discussion between Jay Youngdahl , Sam Gindin , and Adolf Reed Jr . on contemporary issues of class division and strength in North America, moderated by Dr. Julia Smith , associate professor of Labour Studies at the University of Manitoba and member of the Graphic History Collective .
The panel will discuss: where do divisions in the working class come from and who benefits from them? How can solidarity be built between workers across sectors, and across borders today?
This panel was originally planned as ancillary programming for Jay Youngdahl’s solo exhibition, I Don’t Want Your Millions (Billions), Mister, on view at WAHC from February 13 – April 11, 2026.
