You are invited to a Region 6 conference on issues of social justice, “An Injury to One Is an Injury to All,” May 6-7 at the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington. The conference is open to all members -- fill out the form below to register. Access the full call letter here for more information.

Rank-and-file union members of the new Region 6, like the old, know that power is built among regular people, and that economic justice is inextricable from racial, gender and immigrant justice. On Day 1 of our conference, we will highlight recent campaigns among our Region 6 Locals that made big social justice wins by building powerful bridges between union members and the rest of their communities. For example, we will look at how Locals in Region 6 have made major improvements for immigrant and international workers with contract wins like paid leave for immigration hearings and outside-the-contract wins like defeating Trump’s anti-international student rule and expanding paid training programs for workers on visas. On Day 2, we will make forward-thinking plans for how to turn our region into an engine for social justice by strategizing about joint contract priorities, community fights, and political priorities.
