Black Lives Matter at Work

SHUTTING IT
DOWN
Over Labor Day weekend, the International Longshoremen’s
Association in Charleston, Local 1422, convened a national gathering,
bringing together “people of faith and conscience”—including
dockworkers from as far as San Francisco who have, like those in
Charleston, shut it down for racial justice.
This gathering, or “Days of Grace,” was held “to remember our fallen
friends and to reflect on the racism and hatred that lay at the root of
their deaths, as well as the violence that tears away at the fabric of
our communities…. Out of this mass gathering and a one-day strategy
conference, we will build on the efforts of many grassroots
organizations who have worked tirelessly and often thanklessly over
the years to bring about a better South Carolina.”
