Free and public workshop, providing information on the basics of solidarity network organizing: how to fight with others against problems from people in power, including conditions such as wage theft, abusive workplace conditions, stolen security deposits and refusal of repairs. People fight and win these cases, not through reliance on the court system or bureaucratic processes, but through talking to people, building support, and using direct action against people with power. Come out to the large meeting room of the Center Street Library (2727 W. Fon Du Lac Ave, Milwaukee) on Tuesday, October 27th, and learn how to build such action in Milwaukee.
The event starts promptly at 6:00 PM, the schedule is:
6:00-6:15 PM, Core principles of collective direct action.
6:15-7:00 PM. Call-in from member of the Seattle Solidarity Network, describing their experience of fights won, and techniques to effectively build collective resistance.
7:00-7:30 PM. The Milwaukee context: tools for research and building action.
This event should be of use to people dealing with an active work or tenant issue of their own, or people willing to volunteer time to help others fight against such injustice. It will include space for Q & A, please bring specific issues and questions.
