From the organizers: “Working families in California and throughout the country and world face serious, ongoing challenges. As the wealthiest get wealthier, corporations post record profits, and legal attacks on basic rights continue, workers are struggling with stagnating wages and an ever-rising cost of living. Millions face housing insecurity, eviction, and even homelessness, and retirement is out of reach for many older workers. Workers face dangerous conditions, short staffing, and discrimination in their workplaces. Building worker power is as necessary and urgent as ever and support for unions is at record-high levels. At the same time, efforts to make it harder for workers and communities of color to organize and exercise power are ramping up. Unions and community organizations must work smarter and more strategically to organize against these threats and win dignity and economic justice on and off the job.”

Participation in this training counts toward eligibility for dues-sharing for Advocacy Chapters.
