Join the Next Generation
The future of our union depends on our ability to identify the next generation of leaders who will step up when experienced activists are done.
The Next Generation program is a great way to ensure those activists have the knowledge and skills they need to continue the hard work and progress we’ve already made, building a stronger labor movement for generations to come.
