In 2020, Chris lead a staged walk out that garnered national attention at the Amazon’s Staten Island warehouse after raising concerns about the lack of proper safety protocols around COVI-19 exposures.

Ever since, Chris has been working tirelessly to raise awareness about the importance of a safe working environment, recently founding Congress of Essential Workers (TCOEW), a collective of essential workers who campaign for better working conditions.

As a key figure of the growing American Labor movement, we are delighted to be joined by Chris who will share his experiences and discuss the importance of unionisation to tackle the common challenges Black workers are facing.
