After rolling through the first half of summer, dipping our toes in the social waters and, for some, even venturing out of town, it feels like the right time to get back in step with local community offerings. Relish the re-emergence of live arts and performances, offered both indoors and outside; especially those tailor-made to entertain the little ones in the family.
Still from the Abby Ginzburg documentary ‘Waging Change.’
Watch a documentary about restaurant workers; join a conversation about Black Berkeley; learn about global botanical art; explore California’s wilderness; and read a story about rainbows.
WAGING CHANGE The situation for restaurant workers has become dire because of the pandemic, but there have been unfair working conditions in the industry for a long time.
Waging Change, a documentary by Abby Ginzberg, profiles restaurant workers who are trying to feed themselves and their families off tips. It covers the movement to end the federal tipped wage minimum at $2.13 and shines a light on the effects of the #MeToo movement to end sexual harassment in the industry. The film features Saru Jayaraman, who is the president of One Fair Wage and director of the Food Labor Research Center at the University of California, Berkeley. Watch the film and learn how to get involved to support restaurant workers. Broadcast on KQED 9 on
