Loyola and U Chicago!

Loyola-Chicago,
U Chicago and LWAC take campaign tips from the many
skeletons at various stages in the evolutionary time
line that joined us throughout the workshops. Both campuses
are starting campaigns and are excited to help each
other out along the way. Loyola's already hosted a media-grabbing
Dance Dance Social Revolution (check out the article
here!)
to raise money for a workers' breakfast. Workers on
both campuses make less than a living wage, and besides
U Chicago's transitioning Teamsters union, neither are
organized! With all the work we put into workshopping
strategies for working with unions and building a student
worker alliance, both campuses are on there way to building
powerful alliances.
We all got down with U Chicago Teamsters at a fundraising
dance party a union hall. Chicago isn't famous for its
steps for nothing--!
Joe, Rashida and I had a phenomenal time getting to
know folks and laying the groundwork for two really
promising campaigns-!
