This April students from across the South will come together at Spelman College for a day of organizing training, strategizing, and taking action for workers rights. Right now, workers across the country are taking back power, from Chicago teachers to California Walmart warehouse workers, and in the South our campus workers are organizing against all odds. While we fight huge tuition hikes and frozen wages, our university administrators enjoy huge raises and corporations make record profits.
This April 20th at the Southern Organizer Boot Camp we will develop the skills we need to mobilize in larger numbers of students, train new young organizers, and win campaigns alongside campus workers. We’ll spend one full day practicing one-on-one conversations to move our peers to action, swapping campaign skills, and learning from the recent student victories over tuition hikes, worker exploitation and corporate greed.
Part of the Boot Camp will include joining a historic March in Atlanta alongside Jobs With Justice, the Teamsters, Workers United, and many other organizations. Join the Facebook event here.
