What’s been happening in Oshawa these last few months is an all-too-familiar story.
With the departure of shipbuilding from his hometown in England, Sting witnessed first-hand what becomes of workers, their families, and their communities when the core industry is ripped away.
This Thursday, Sting and the cast of his musical THE LAST SHIP will travel from Toronto, where the musical is playing at the Princess of Wales Theatre, to Oshawa to perform in solidarity with GM workers at the city’s Tribute Communities Centre.
And you are invited to join us.
The tremendously powerful story of THE LAST SHIP resonates deeply as it speaks to the dignity of work, how it shapes individuals and their communities, and the heavy personal toll that is paid when workers’ livelihoods are taken from them. A grassroots protest gains strength as people fight to hold their community together in the face of the impending storm.
As a supporter of our campaign to fight for the jobs of Oshawa GM workers, we hope you’ll be able to attend. A limited number of spots are available. RSVP at the link below with the password “SaveOshawaGM” to confirm your attendance.
