Upcoming Events 🗓
Remote Worker Organizing Training
Join us this coming Thursday, June 22, at 8:30 p.m. ET (5:30 p.m. PT)!
We’ll be featuring remote workers who have successfully organized their workplace to discuss the challenges they faced — from talking to co-workers to taking collective action. They’ll talk about the tools they used to overcome those challenges and how you can get started.
If you are organizing a remote workplace and don’t know where to start, or if you hit a wall trying to find ways to reach everyone at your workplace, this training is for you! If you’re an organizer supporting remote workers, this training is also for you!
A First Ever Spanish-English Bilingual Foundational Training
There’s no better way to kick off the summer than to learn to organize your workplace or help others do the same for theirs!
Join the Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee’s Foundational Training Series, Mondays starting on July 10 until July 31 at 9 p.m. ET (6 p.m. PT). This series will start later than usual so we can accommodate West Coast workers!
And we’re super happy to announce that this will be our first ever Spanish-English bilingual training. So please share the message below with folks whose preferred language is Spanish!
If you want to organize your workplace but you don’t know where to start, this training is for you. Learn how to approach your co-workers, build a team of organizers among them, and develop a campaign. You will meet other workers who are organizing and learn helpful tools, practices, and principles for winning workplace improvements and getting a democratic voice over your working conditions.
In four 90-minute weekly sessions, we will discuss how workers can unite to address issues at their workplace and how to begin the process of unionization. Participants will practice connecting with co-workers and engaging in collective decision-making around common concerns. You will learn how to prepare yourself and your co-workers to take collective action. Finally, you will learn how to build, from scratch, a democratic organization with your co-workers that can negotiate with the boss over your working conditions.
Space is limited to 200 participants, so sign up now! Register today.
If you’d like to suggest a certain time that works for you for a future training you can email [email protected], and we will do our best to accommodate! You’re also welcome to send any other questions you have to the same email address.
Capacitación Fundamental, ahora en español
No hay mejor manera de arrancar el verano que aprender a organizar tu lugar de trabajo, o apoyar a los demás con los suyos.
Participa en el Serie de Capacitación Fundamental del Comité para la Organización Laboral de Emergencia (EWOC), los Lunes desde el 10 julio hasta 31 julio a las 9 p.m. ET (6 p.m. PT). Esta serie inicia más tarde de lo normal para que los trabajadores en la Costa Oeste puedan participar!
¡y ahora por la primera vez puede participar en español!
Si quieres organizar tu lugar de trabajo pero no sabes por dónde empezar, esta capacitación es para ti. Aprender cómo acercar a tus compañeros de trabajo, juntar un equipo de organizadores entre ellos y desarrollar una campaña organizadora. Vas a conocer a otros trabajadores quienes están organizando, aprender herramientas, prácticas y principios útiles para lograr mejoras en el lugar de trabajo y conseguir una voz democrática sobre las condiciones laborales.
En cuatro sesiones de 90 minutos, hablamos de cómo los trabajadores pueden unirse para abordar diferentes temas en el lugar de trabajo, y como se inicia el proceso de sindicalización. Los participantes van a practicar como se acerca a los compañeros de trabajo, y como se toma las decisiones de manera colectiva en torno a los intereses comunes. Aprenderás cómo prepararte a ti y a los compañeros de trabajo para emprender acciones colectivas. Finalmente, aprenderás cómo construir, desde el inicio, una organización democrática entre tus compañeros de trabajo para negociar las condiciones laborales con tu jefe.

Save the Date: Socialism Conference 2023, Labor Day Weekend
No one is coming to save us but us.
We need visionary politics, collective strategy, and compassionate communities now more than ever. In a moment of political uncertainty, the Socialism Conference — September 1–4, in Chicago — will be a vital gathering space for today’s Left. Join thousands of organizers, activists, abolitionists, and socialists to learn from each other and from history, assess ongoing struggles, build community, and experience the energy of in-person gatherings.
A four-day conference featuring dozens of panels, lectures, and workshops organized by groups from all over the country, the Socialism Conference will facilitate exchanges between existing activists and organizations while also welcoming new layers of politically curious people as part of rebuilding our radical traditions and movements.
EWOC is excited to announce: We will host a workplace organizer’s training at this year’s Socialism Conference and a panel discussion among some of our most experienced organizers and the workers we’ve supported!
Register by July 7 for the early-bird discounted rate! Visit socialismconference.org to learn more and register today. Registering today is the single best way you can help support, sustain, and expand the Socialism Conference.
