Nine years ago, Ben and Whitney Waxman began an experiment: Could an American company manufacture high-quality apparel using only domestic materials and union labor? This concept bucked decades of offshoring.

The improbable answer is yes.

From its headquarters in Westbrook, ME, American Roots has grown into a thriving enterprise, employing seventy-five individuals and boasting sales set to exceed $20 million over the past nine years. The Waxmans’ inspiring journey is vividly captured in the recently published “Making it in America,” penned by best-selling author Rachel Slade.

Join Slade, the Waxmans, and moderator Carol Coultas as they discuss how their small company survived trade deals, economic policies, corporate greed, and a pandemic to prove that a business can flourish and treat its workers well.

General Admission: Doors at 6pm, Discussion at 6:30pm
