Local Activists Urged to Attend AFL-CIO Young Workers' Summit

Encouraged by participants' rave reviews of the first AFL-CIO Young Workers' Summit last year, CWA is urging locals to send leaders and activists to this year's event, scheduled Sept. 29 to Oct. 2 in Minneapolis.

The summit focuses on building power for collective action and Election 2012, skills to help meet the challenges facing the labor movement, creating young worker groups and coalitions, and strengthening leadership skills.

The agenda features hands-on, movement-building workshops on organizing, activism, social media and leadership; expert panels on policy and legislative issues affecting young workers; networking opportunites; and community service projects in Minneapolis.
