Bay Area Troublemakers School (June)

Bringing together union members, labor activists, and local officers, a Troublemakers School is an incredible space for networking, building solidarity, and sharing successes, strategy, and inspiration. It’s a real shot in the arm for newbies and seasoned activists alike.

In these perilous times, it more important than ever for workers to gather, share our knowledge, and build the labor movement we need to claim the world we want.

You will learn new skills. The one-day conference features interactive workshops, panels and meetings, ranging from crucial basic skills like helping your colleagues beat apathy to advanced topics like winning first contracts and running for union office.
