Labor, Cultural Work, and More Ways to Organize the City

• Title: "Labor, Cultural Work, and More Ways to Organize the City"
• Location: 26 Mott St, Wing On Wo Storefront
• Time: June 11, 2026 6pm 

We would love to invite you and your friends and colleagues to join us next Thursday for the second gathering of W.O.W. at 10, a three-part anniversary discussion series, co-curated by Diane Wong and Mei Lum.

This conversation draws crucial connections between cultural work and labor organizing in working-class communities across New York City. Bringing together organizers, artists, and community members, the event traces how struggles over labor and land are deeply intertwined—from tenants organizing against evictions in Chinatown to campaigns resisting casino development in Flushing, and movements to decriminalize sex work—we ask: are there other ways to organize the city? What forms of solidarity are necessary to build communities rooted in care? By placing past and present organizing in dialogue, this program invites us to consider what forms of organizing are needed in this moment, and how we build toward more sustainable futures for Chinatown residents and all working-class communities. 

Whether you’ve been part of W.O.W. since the beginning or are just getting to know the work, we welcome you to join us for an evening of reflection, celebration, and community. 

Donate today to power W.O.W.’s next decade!
