Want to help but have questions? Either send me (@chima) a DM on here, on WhatsApp, or schedule a quick Zoom meeting with a member of the Steering Committee here.
We agreed to put together a small package that introduces the subject to these committees. If there is interest, we can create a toolkit for union activists to help them persuade their coworkers.
If you’re interested in this or have ideas about how to begin, please leave a reply below. We likely already have contact information for local unions somewhere on here or the drive.
Objective/Goal for this Side-Quest:
Connect with local unions so we can support each other during strikes/actions/events.
Review draft outreach email: Please review/edit the draft outreach email that will be sent out to all unions we have email address for. Once you are done, please mark completed below.
Estimated time: 10 mins
Deadline: End of June

Review blurb during meeting with unions: Please review/edit the short blurb that our Member(s) will read out if we get invited to a meeting with a union. They don’t have to read it word for word, but it should serve as a quick guide. Once you are done, please mark completed below.

@Bozzii, should we invite some of the people who came to the post-election event, or were regularly at the protests to a meeting to help put together this toolkit? Maybe we can convince them to join WCU
Also, we should mail the toolkit out to people who signed our petition(s). I know some of them were in unions.
That’s a great idea! We could also use the meeting as an opportunity to strategize how we want go about organizing if for Palestine from now on. I know it’s no longer a focus campaign, but it might be valuable insight that can apply to other campaign as well.
We still need to collect contact information and collect information on if they have any public campaigns (for contracts or policy) that we could use to make outreach to them easier.
