How To Build A Union Reform Caucus

March 11, 2026 Labor Notes. Organize! Democracy, Labor Movement, Reform Caucus, Unions

Over the last decade, almost every corner of the U.S. labor movement has experienced an exciting revitalization. Educators have brought a new fighting spirit to their unions, from Los Angeles to Chicago to Massachusetts. Rank-and-file members have overthrown corrupt leadership in the Teamsters and the United Auto Workers. Grocery workers and letter carriers have rebelled against subpar contracts, and building trades workers are turning around their locals. What do all these fights have in common? Union reform caucuses.

Women’s Brigades Demand Freedom For Venezuelan Presidential Couple

March 8, 2026 Orinoco Tribune. Organize! Abduction, Cilia Flores, International Women's Day, Venezuela

A total of 118 delegates from 22 nations gathered Friday, March 6, in Caracas for the meeting of the International Women’s Brigades Cilia Flores for Peace. International solidarity was on full display in the Venezuelan capital to demand the immediate release of First Lady and Deputy Cilia Flores, and her husband, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. This initiative, organized as part of the activities for the week of International Women’s Day, intends to highlight the direct impact of sanctions and economic blockades on the lives of women in countries like Venezuela and Cuba.

Calls Mount For ‘FIFA And World Cup Out Of The US!’

March 5, 2026 Steve Gillis, Workers World. Organize! BDS Movement, FIFA, ICE, Tourism, Trump Administration, United States

Antiwar and human rights activists in 11 U.S. cities — Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Miami, New York/New Jersey, Philadelphia, San Francisco Bay Area and Seattle — are gearing up for a campaign to demand that Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) move World Cup soccer games out of the U.S. because of its war crimes around the world. For the world’s peace-loving peoples, the call to “Boycott the U.S.!” is especially poignant while marauding, masked Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other Dept. of Homeland Security storm troopers continue their war at home against the world’s immigrant workers, foreign-born students and tourists.

Letter Carriers Are Gearing Up For Another Contract Fight

March 5, 2026 Derek Dolbeare, Labor Notes. Organize! Contract Negotiations, Postal Workers, Unions, US Postal Service

Members of the Letter Carriers (NALC) have kicked off their next contract fight. Negotiations began February 25, and their current agreement expires in May. On Sunday, February 22, letter carriers held rallies across the U.S. as part of their “Fight Like Hell” campaign. By calling the national day of action, union leaders are responding to a simmering ground-up effort by members demanding a real contract campaign and more transparent bargaining. In past years members didn’t play much role, or get much information, until it was time to vote on a tentative agreement. But the success of a grassroots “vote no” movement last time made the union take notice.

Students Convene For Conference, Demand Every MI School Be A Sanctuary

March 2, 2026 Owen Frassetto, Fight Back! News. Organize! Immigrant Rights, Michigan, Sanctuary Movement, Student Activism

Michigan chapters of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) came together in Detroit at Wayne State University on Saturday, February 28, for their first statewide organizing conference. The one-day conference featured panels and workshops, mostly revolving around their Sanctuary Campus campaigns, which demand university administrators never collaborate with federal immigration enforcement, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in particular. “As we’re seeing the level of attacks by ICE rise in Michigan, with the repeated kidnapping of high school and college students, we in the student movement saw the need to raise our level of organization to fight back.

New Oregon Union Coalition Will Make A Push For ‘Climate Jobs’

February 28, 2026 Don McIntosh, People's World. Organize! Green Transition, Oregon, Unions, Worker Rights and Jobs

Portland, OR — A newly formed coalition of Oregon unions will advocate for a union-built transition to clean energy. And it has a big head start on how to achieve that: A book-length set of policy recommendations from the Climate Jobs Institute, part of Cornell University’s School of Industrial and Labor Relations. The group is called Climate Jobs Oregon. It held its public launch on January 23 at the IBEW Local 48 hall in Portland, followed by tours of four construction union training centers. The launch party was packed with state, county, and city elected officials and their staffs, and attendees applauded the commitment of sponsoring unions to promote green jobs that are good jobs too.

How We Organized A Union At Whole Foods

February 27, 2026 Ed Dupree and Ben Lovett, Labor Notes. Organize! Philadelphia, Unions, Whole Foods, Worker Rights

There were six of us at the first meeting to form a union at Whole Foods in Philadelphia: too many to fit around the coffee shop table, a good sign, so we moved to a restaurant around the corner. We talked about disrespectful managers, low pay, and the loss of paid breaks and health care for part-timers. “I’ve seen many wonderful people come and go” in a decade at the store, said produce worker Ed Dupree. “So many of them worked hard and weren’t always treated well, especially after the Amazon acquisition.” To reach the 300 workers at our store, we brainstormed a list of people in each department we thought might be pro-union and willing to talk.

Positive Action: Education Superheroes Climate Fresk

February 26, 2026 Extinction Rebellion, Popular Resistance. Organize! climate crisis, Education, France, Green Transition

Born in France in 2018, the Climate Fresk movement has now educated over 2.3 million people in 168 countries across the world. At its heart, it’s a collaborative workshop that gets participants thinking about the causes and effects of climate change. But for many, it’s a turning point in their lives, motivating them to set up new green initiatives in their schools, workplaces and beyond. Like Extinction Rebellion, Climate Fresk adopted its organisational model from Sweden’s Pirate Party, first codified in Rick Falkvinge’s 2013 handbook Swarmwise. He described the “swarm” structure: a light central scaffold that empowers people with shared tools, enabling an autonomous movement that scales quickly through decentralisation and initiative.

How To Build Emergency Response Systems For The Long Haul

February 25, 2026 Zia Kandler and Moira Birss, Waging Nonviolence. Organize! Community Defense, Governance, Mutual Aid, State Violence

Targeted state violence and rising fascism are being met with creative organizing by people in Minneapolis and across the country, from mass marches to neighborhood mutual aid to ICE watch foot patrols. These are all beautiful manifestations of resistance that have kept many people safe and demonstrated widespread repudiation of the Trump administration’s policies. Yet as state-sanctioned violence becomes more coordinated, normalized and national in scope, we must continue adapting our response systems to shifting needs.

Workers Need More Paths To Join The Labor Movement

February 25, 2026 Roz Hunter and Megan Svoboda, Labor Notes. Organize! EWOC, Unions, Worker Rights, Working Class

It shouldn’t be so hard for workers to join a union. Nearly half of non-unionized workers in the U.S. say they would join a union if they could. Yet only 1 in 10 belongs to one, and that number continues to fall. The main path to unionization, through a National Labor Relations Board election or the public sector equivalent, has long been broken and favors employers. While unionizing through the NLRB must remain a central strategy, alone it isn’t enough. Imagine you’re a worker at Target who wants to organize, but none of the unions in your area is willing to support you.

Organize More Solidarity With The Cuban Revolution

February 24, 2026 Bill Sacks, Workers World. Organize! Cuba, Economic Blockade, International Solidarity, US Imperialism

The Venceremos Brigade has been breaking the travel blockade against Cuba for over 50 years, bringing thousands of people from the U.S. to Cuba, to see Cuban society and Cuban life for themselves, and to come back and challenge all the lies of the U.S. media and U.S. government about Cuba. The next Brigade trip will be this summer. Clearly, Cuba is now once again directly in the sights of U.S. imperialism. And while Cuba has been the victim of over 60 years of a U.S. economic and financial blockade, resulting in shortages of goods and services, Cuba has withstood all the attacks by imperialism, including military attacks.

Inside The First-Ever Young Worker March On Washington

February 24, 2026 Amie Stager, In These Times. Organize! Unions, Worker Rights, Young workers, Youth Activism

For Eric Chornoby, leisure time is a “luxury” he can’t afford. He’s a union postal worker from Detroit who hasn’t gone on vacation in five years. “Everyone told me our generation was getting it good. I did what I was supposed to do. But no matter how hard I try, I cannot get ahead,” Chornoby said at a rally in Washington, D.C., on February 7. Chornoby, along with other workers from the American Postal Workers Union’s (APWU) Young Members Committee, traveled to the U.S. Capitol to attend the first-ever march for young workers. Today, the federal minimum wage sits at $7.25 an hour, and it hasn’t been increased since 2009.

How To Organize Safely In The Age Of Surveillance

February 22, 2026 Andy Greenberg and Lily Hay Newman, Portside. Organize! Encryption, Privacy, Safety, Surveillance

Rarely in modern US history have so many Americans opposed the actions of the federal government with so little hope for a top-down political solution. That’s left millions of people seeking a bottom-up approach to resistance: grassroots organizing. Yet as Americans assemble their own movements to protect and support immigrants, push back against the Department of Homeland Security’s dangerous incursions into cities, and protest for civil rights and policy changes, they face a federal government that possesses vast surveillance powers and sweeping cooperation from the Silicon Valley companies that hold Americans’ data.

Over 100 Cuban Artists Call For International Solidarity

February 17, 2026 People's Dispatch. Organize! Arts and culture, Cuba, Cuba solidarity, Donald Trump, Economic Blockade, US Imperialism

On January 29, President Trump signed an executive order labeling Cuba an “unusual and extraordinary threat” to the United States. The order imposes economic penalties on any country that attempts to deliver oil to the island, which has already been under a US economic and commercial blockade for more than 60 years. These measures followed a broader US military campaign against Venezuela that further isolated Cuba. The seizure of Venezuelan tankers bound for Cuba as part of a US naval blockade on Venezuelan oil, and the detention of Venezuela’s president and first lady, cut off one of Cuba’s primary fuel providers.

Grassroots Organizers Offer Blueprint For Beating Back Data Centers

February 15, 2026 Derek Seidman, Truthout. Organize! Artificial Intelligence (AI), Data Centers, Victory, Wisconsin

Data centers are big business. Around 3,000 new data centers — huge buildings that house the computing power that props up the growing use of artificial intelligence (AI) — are currently being built or planned across the U.S. Some speculate that global spending on data centers could hit $3 trillion by 2029. Corporate interests — from energy firms and construction companies, to real estate businesses and utilities — are looking to cash in. But private equity — that powerful and opaque slice of Wall Street, run by mega-billionaire founders, focused on private investment and outsized profits — is an especially outsized force driving the data center boom, pouring billions into construction deals while also positioning itself to profit from supplying AI’s insatiable energy demands.
