Does your union training look like an audience listening quietly to a speech? Would you rather get people laughing, sharing their own experiences, and strategizing together? "Popular education" is an approach that starts from what people already know about their lives, workplaces, and power. We'll try some participatory exercises and talk about how to adapt them to your issues and situations, whether it's a workshop at your delegate convention or a meeting in the breakroom.
This session will open with a short song by: Erin Murphy and Susan Rogers, DC Labor Chorus.
Ready to bring your co-workers into collective action? Planning some community actions, but not quite ready to strike? Discover the wide range of tactics you can use as part of an escalating campaign to target the boss, get wins, and build power. Hear some great stories of clever and effective tactics that built solidarity and scared the boss, and learn how to choose the right tactics for your situation.
