Tucson Non-Violence Direct Action Training
So many organizers, community members, and faith leaders came out for our Nonviolent Direct Action Training in Tucson! People came from all backgrounds and all different levels of organizing to meet others fighting the good fight and to study “the science of how you create a world that practices truth, justice, and compassion,” as Reverend Lawson would say!
We’re excited to bring this training to Phoenix at the end of September, so stay tuned to hear how to participate! You can click here to see all the pictures form the training.
Fair Games: a New Deal for Our Future
We demand from LA28 and the billionaire companies that will profit off the games:
- Union jobs that support families and healthy communities with living wages
- Funding for 50,000 units of housing for working families
- A moratorium on short-term rentals to protect our homes
- Safe and dignified treatment of immigrant communities
If the IOC, LA28, city leaders, and corporate CEOs fail to meet workers’ needs, workers will be prepared to strike!

More than 20 UNITE HERE Local 11 members have lost their homes to the wildfires or are facing long-term displacement. These numbers could grow. And even as the fires force whole communities to find sanctuary in local hotels, some of these same UNITE HERE Local 11 members have been providing hospitality during this traumatic moment. Please support hospitality workers most affected by the fires by donating to the UNITE HERE Local 11 Hardship Fund. unitehere11.org/hardship
