Join Workers in Palestine and Labour Notes for a series of interactive online workshops focused on strengthening organising skills to build real and lasting support for Palestine in our workplaces and unions. Sessions will provide practical tools and real-world examples to help us organise to win.
In response to the call from Palestinian workers, many of us have mobilised to end the genocide in Gaza—through strikes, blockades, marches, and union actions. We’ve seen how the power of organised labour can disrupt the arms trade and challenge complicity. Now, it’s time to take this work further by building the skills and strategies needed to sustain this fight.
This will be a set of 4 workshops, held on Thursdays, in November and will run from 7-9pm GMT. They will be online workshops held via Zoom, led by Labour Notes organiser Lisa Xu.
WORKSHOPS WILL INCLUDE:

  • Beating Apathy
  • Assembling Your Dream Team
  • Turning An Issue Into a Campaign
  • Palestine In the Workplace

This workshop is for all of us committed to doing this work—whether you’re new to workplace/union organising or have been at it for years! Come prepared to engage and share.
Accessibility: Zoom's automatic captions will be turned on during the session. Please feel free to contact us with other accessibility needs or questions: workersinpalestine@proton.me
Space is limited to ensure effective workshops, but we’ll be offering more sessions in the future. Sign up to express your interest, and we’ll keep you informed about upcoming dates.
Please register by October 25.
