Working Groups
Working groups organize our communities around specific goals and efforts.
Labor WG
Building working class power and socialist class consciousness through union solidarity and support. Including supporting Amazon ULP strike pickets, Starbucks Workers United pickets, and customer & barista canvassing in support of SBWU Red for Bread actions.
Housing WG
Fighting for tenant rights and de-commodified housing as a human right.
