“Concert for a Meaningful Labor Day: Celebrating All Who Work,” performed by Bill Cohen

Sunday, August 31, 4pm, Columbus Mennonite Church, 35 Oakland Park Ave.

Join Bill Cohen as he sings songs made famous by a wide variety of folks: Woody Guthrie, Sam Cooke, Dolly Parton, Pete Seeger, Bruce Springsteen, Alabama, James Taylor, etc.

Powerful vocal harmonies will be added by veteran Columbus musicians Phil Hart and Teresa Schleifer.

Plus, we’ll recall how, decades ago, labor unions won historic reforms that many of us take for granted today — the eight-hour workday, improved workplace safety, a guaranteed minimum wage, and an end to child labor.

We’ll ask for $15 per person donations at the door, but all contributions, big and small, will be welcome. The musicians and sound crew will be splitting the proceeds with the Central Ohio Worker Center, which advocates for low-income and immigrant workers.

Hosted by Central Ohio Worker Center [Centro de Trabajadores de Central Ohio].
