He will be in conversation with renowned author Rebecca Solnit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In 2006 Soni received a clandestine phone call from one of 500 men living in squalor in a Gulf Coast \u201cman camp,\u201d surrounded by barbed wire, watched by armed guards, crammed into cold trailers with putrid portable toilets, forced to eat moldy bread and frozen rice. Each man and his family had paid $20,000 each to apply for this \u201copportunity\u201d to rebuild oil rigs after Hurricane Katrina. Saket Soni is the co-founder and executive director of Resilience Force, the national voice of the resilience workforce \u2014 whose labor helps us prepare for, and repair after, climate disaster. He has testified in Congress, and his work has been featured in the New Yorker, the New York Times, and TIME Magazine. A profile in USA Today called him \u201can architect of the next labor movement.\u201d Saket is from New Delhi, India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Host The Green Arcade Bookstore<\/p>\n\n\n\n Info: Forced Labor and Immigrant Dreams in America – author Saket Soni with Rebecca Solnit : Indybay<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" by Adrienne Fong Not back posting on a regular basis Please include Accessibility and ASL info in your events!
