See a preview of a new training curriculum for working people and rank and file union members. Participants will learn to make sense of how power really works, why authoritarianism is on the rise, and help connect personal struggles to larger systems, as well as what we can do about it together. It sparks critical thinking and honest conversation among working people who are feeling frustrated, fearful, and disillusioned by examining the contradictions between political promises and lived experiences, especially within our economic and political systems.

“Solidarity Wins” Training Preview

See a preview and learn more about an exciting mass education project aiming to train hundreds of “solidarity heroes” (rank-and-file union members, staff, elected leaders) to facilitate workshops for thousands of working class people that helps them understand the threat of authoritarianism, the true and tried strategy of scapegoating a small group of working people to build power over working people, and the need for real working class solidarity to beat the Billionaires and their political allies.

Collective “Noncooperation” Training Preview

See a preview of a training on the critical role that working people play defending civil liberties and resisting authoritarianism. The workshop focuses on ways that individuals, groups, and communities can refuse to cooperate with official policies and actions nonviolently. When workers take away acquiescence at a massive scale, undemocratic actors can be stopped in their tracks. Come learn about powerful tools of collective noncompliance and mass noncooperation based on tried and true tactics used by movements from around the world fighting against authoritarianism.

Workers Rights in High School Education

  • Wednesday, February 25th, 2026 – 1:00-2:00 PM Pacific / 4:00-5:00 PM Eastern

  • Register at: https://tinyurl.com/feb26-hs-ed

Come learn about exciting efforts going on nationwide to reach young people who’ve been critically underserved by labor education. Young people represent a growing yet vulnerable segment of the workforce, with many lacking exposure to crucial knowledge and skills to gain the protection offered by existing (if inadequate) labor standards. Join us to discuss efforts and ideas to innovate, support, and scale young worker education to meet the massive demand!

Participatory Worker Education with Central Labor Councils

  • Wednesday, March 4th, 2026 – 1:00-2:00 PM Pacific / 4:00-5:00 PM Eastern
