All over the country, labor organizers are organizing on the shop floor to build strong, militant, and democratic unions. From Teamsters for a Democratic Union (TDU) to Unite all Workers for Democracy (UAWD), the impact of union reform movements is loud and clear. Labor union reform caucuses have helped elect union leadership that's willing to put up a fight - helping Teamsters secure a historic union contract, and leading UAW to launch an unprecedented strike led by the rank-and-file.
Join Atlanta DSA's labor committee for an info session and workshop on union reform caucuses. We'll cover topics like: What is the goal of union reform? What are some examples of successful union reform movements? How can you get involved in your local union reform efforts?
This workshop is open to anyone, although union members are strongly encouraged to attend.

Georgia Congressman, Hank Johnson, joins two dozen House Democrats in signing a letter urging President Joe Biden to support a ceasefire in Gaza.
The recent events in Gaza are alarming, and risk spiraling into further violence and death. Right now, US Congress is preparing to use our tax dollars to fund a genocide of Palestinian people. Please take action NOW to urge Congress to support a ceasefire and de-escalation in Gaza!
