 We came into office in UTLA in 2014 and labor notes had actually been very key to assisting our caucus in meeting with other caucuses across the country to get ready to take power. And once we came in to Union leadership, we started a transformation process where we brought in rank and file leaders and we brought in staff to be able to make sure that we were empowering our own members to organize at every single work site, 900 work sites across Los Angeles. We've used books from labor notes like Secrets of a Successful Organizer that we've gotten to all of our 900 chapter chairs and building reps across the city. Labor notes has been absolutely key in helping provide us with connections with experts in this, providing us with resources like books and pamphlets that walk our members through. That led us to, five years later, was a strike that not only called for reduced class size, increased teacher pay, but also common good demands that were coming from students and families and community and we were able to win that strike because of the Union transformation process. Organizations like Labor Notes were essential to helping us build. One of the most incredible things that we've learned through this five years of a transformation process and then a major strike that was watched by the nation is just how important our connections are to others around the country building power locally but also the lesson of all of that work goes into building power nationally. I support Labor Notes because not only has Labor Notes been key to the transformation of UTLA but everyone who cares about social justice movements, labor community coalitions should support Labor Notes. We can't just have Union transformations happening here and there across the country. We need it everywhere across the country. The resources and expertise that Labor Notes brings is exactly what the labor movement needs and it's why not only I but also you should be in support of this great organization.
