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.

Members who attend will get inspired. Hear speakers from the front lines of recent struggles.

They’ll also get trained. The 1 day conference features interactive workshops, panels and meetings, ranging from crucial basic skills like helping your colleagues beat apathy to advanced topics like organizing to strike, planning a contract campaign, and strategizing against corporate decision-makers.

The event begins Saturday, October 8, at Metro State University. Registration in Founders Hall (park in the parking garage off of Maria Ave). Map here.
