How do we build on the protests, protect what we have--and lay the foundation to fight for more? Led by experienced labor activists, our workshops will explore strategies to fight back and give you the hands-on skills to make it happen.

The idea is not just to talk about problems for a day and then go home, but to come up with specific plans in some areas, so that we can go out Monday morning and get to work organizing to build on what we've done. There will be ample time to assess what we've gained through our unprecedented activism of the last month.

Workshops include:


Public Sector Workers: What's Next?
Labor’s Electoral Strategy: Are We Getting Our Money’s Worth?
New and Old Organizing Strategies
Protecting the Interests of Immigrant Workers
Art for Mobilization
Media Outreach
Contract Campaigns
Labor-Campus-Community Solidarity
Racism: History of Divide and Conquer
Is Capitalism Working for Us? Saving the Social Safety Net
Know Your Workplace Rights
Up Your Union: Get Involved and Revitalize It
