HOW HIP IS THIS! — PEF Executive Board Member Carlos Garcia, left, gets into the spirit as his brother, Omar Garcia, an organizer for 1199 SEIU in NYC, rapps at a Labor Day weekend ‘Hip-Hop Meets the Labor Movement’ festival in Albany. Carlos was a speaker and Omar performed at the event, which was sponsored by the Capital District Area Labor Federation. The festival, the first of its kind in Albany, celebrated the unity and perseverance of the movements in their common struggle for equity, equality and respect for all people. In addition to numerous speakers and entertainers, the festival offered voter registration, food and crafts.
