The Legal Assistance Foundation’s (LAF) 3rd Annual Modern-Day American Worker Conference is a one-and-a-half day conference, held in Chicago at the historic Jane Addams Hull-House and at the John Marshall Law School. This year’s conference, entitled Over, Under, Through: Women Rising for Justice at Work, will focus on how women workers, including immigrant women, can seek justice through legal and non-legal means, and through creative advocacy strategies to combat sex assault and harassment, wage theft and inequity, and discrimination of many forms. Bernice Yeung, a reporter for Reveal from the Center for Investigative Journalism and the author of In a Day’s Work: The Fight to End Sexual Violence against America’s Most Vulnerable Workers will be this year's keynote speaker.
