Organizers are Workers Too: Live Your Values, Manage Humanely and Win Campaigns
Session Type(s): Training
Training Tag(s): Operations
Starts: Friday, Oct. 8 1:00 PM (Eastern)
Ends: Friday, Oct. 8 2:00 PM (Eastern)
In the progressive movement, we talk a big game about workers’ rights and healthy, humane work environments. But let’s be honest. We often don’t live up to our own values, especially when we move into management. We’ll discuss ways to center your values and still be an effective manager. We will provide concrete, useful tips on how to lead and train organizers — without bullying them or burning them out. We can win and win the right way!
