Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee (EWOC) is a collaboration between national DSA and the United Electrical, Radio & Machine Workers of America (UE) to organize unorganized workplaces and build a distributed, grassroots organizing program to support workers organizing at the workplace.
EWOC holds a regular training course to help you build your union from the ground up alongside workers in your industry. It doesn't require an organizing background to understand the material, which covers topics including mapping and charting, building an organizing committee, uniting over common concerns, and how to take action. If you're interested in becoming any level of organizer for EWOC, this course is mandatory.
This course will in person at the DSA office (1916 McAllister). We'll watch the EWOC lecture together and then go through the discussion activities. If you can't make all of the sessions, reach out to Caitlin Stanton (SF EWOC local lead coordinator) for accommodations.
