Steering Committee Updates

Bylaw Review Update

On February 10th, 2026, the steering committee conducted its bi-annual bylaw review. Since the changes steering made did not get released 2 weeks prior to this general meeting, it has decided to simply announce those changes here and vote on them in April’s general meeting.

Voices of the Working Class

Along with the workshopping of WCU’s new Socialism 101 series, WCU’s Education Coordinator @Englishpete08 hopes to facilitate the publication of a few articles this year.

Social Events Side-Quest

After Hours w/WCU

With our newly approved “After Hours” event scheduled every second Thursday of the month, we need to decide on a topic for the our very first one!

After Hours with WCU

Purpose: After Hours will be a monthly offline political discussion space (modeled after ATUN’s Kitchen Table events) focused on building our collective ability to do political analysis. The point is not necessarily to “plug into WCU” or even to produce concrete next steps that night. It is to practice thinking together beyond party politics arguments, social media hot takes, and podcast/msm talking points.

Potential Topic for March: The differences between a United Front and a Popular Front. A short introduction that includes what we mean by that, what the results were in the past, and how that impacts how folks should think through working alongside, with, and/or subordinate to the Democratic Party today.

Scope and cadence:

• Monthly on the second Thursday of every month from 8PM-9PM, starting in February. For the first one, to give us time, it will be on the last Thursday of February.
• Format: 10-15 minute framing, moderated roundtable discussion, try to have 2-3 synthesized takeaways, and have a few discussion topics prepared ahead of time in case the conversation dies. Depending on how large it gets, we can have 2-3 breakout groups.

Location: OF Hall.

Roles:

• Facilitator(s): keeps discussion grounded; prevents party-politics point-scoring; makes space for quieter voices.
• Timekeeper/notetaker: tracks stack/time; captures the takeaways and any proposed future topics/questions. We could do very short post-event write ups and post them online.
• Welcomer: Greets newcomers, captures contact information, hands out WCU material

Deliverables and tracking:

• A running “question bank” + lightweight reading list (if available) to support deeper analysis between sessions
• A short post-session write-up (takeaways)
• Attendance and repeat attendance

Tabling at Stockton Farmer’s Market

Now that we approved WCU’s ability to conduct tabling events every first Sunday of the month, we need to vote on a reasonable budget for them (including printed materials).

Tabling at Stockton Farm Market

Purpose: This one is pretty straight forward. We need a recurring public presence that generates new contacts for us, distributes our materials, and also gives members an ask that is less time-consuming than others. It will also allow us to continue growing our contact list. Voting for this also means that we will reach out to the Stockton Farm Market vendor sign up process and schedule tabling next month.

Scope and cadence:

• Monthly, first Sundays, starting in March

Location: 4994 Claremont Ave. Stockton, CA 95207

Roles:

• Minimum staffing: at least 2 people per table shift
• Tabling must have: a shared script, a contact capture method, and assigned follow-up ownership

Deliverables and tracking:

• Vendor application completed and accepted
• Tabling kit: table cover, banner/signage, clipboards, QR codes, flyers, and a short tabling script
• Materials mix ready for the table:
  • “Who we are” flyer + how to reach us
  • Upcoming events flyer
  • Focus campaign flyers (Tenant Union)
  • Printouts of recent articles (as available)
  • Email list signup option (even if someone is not ready to join as a member)
• Short tabling training (20–30 minutes) covering: approaching people, quick pitch, handling common questions, contact capture, and the script
• Follow-up process for contacts and volunteers
  • 24–48 hours: first follow-up through solidarity.tech
  • ~2 weeks: second follow-up / invitation to next event
• Simple monthly reporting: contacts captured → follow-ups completed → volunteers scheduled (and membership conversions when they occur)

Local Flock Camera Campaign

Inspired by the successes in Woodland, West Sac, Sac, Santa Clara and Fresno, WCU hopes to launch its very own flock camera removal campaign in Stockton!

Know Your Rights as Focused Campaign

WCU hopes to push the ever-evolving Know Your Rights side quest into an official Focused Campaign through its integration with our tenant union.

BDS Update

TBD
