May Day Reportback

May Day activities were well attended by our chapter members. They showed up to two of San Francisco’s big May Day marches. During the first march, Comrade Anya gave an impassioned speech about the dire state of the city budget and the need to fight against local officials who cater to the wealthy of this city and forget about the working class and the most vulnerable.

The big action this past May Day though happened at the San Francisco International Airport (SFO) in which around at least 500 people from organizations and unions around the Bay Area showed up to shut the airport down for airport workers struggling for a fair wage and to demand that ICE stay out of SFO. DSA SF chapter members, especially those from the immigrant justice working group, showed up to help the with the protest that brought airport traffic to a halt for up to two hours.

USWW – SEIU union airport workers have been fighting United airlines for a fair living wage. Many of the workers are immigrants. At the same time, United airlines has been supportive of the Trump agenda, which  uses ICE to detain and deport immigrants. SFO recently was the place where a Guatemalan mother and her daughter were captured by ICE and deported. 

Thanks to the comrades that showed up to help workers and immigrants on this most important day!

EWOC Fundamentals of Workplace Organizing Week #1

Last Sunday we held our first session of the Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee (EWOC) course Fundamentals of Workplace Organizing, a four week course that goes into the basics of organizing: from organizing committees to inoculation against the boss. We met in person at 1916 McAllister to watch the course plenary before diving into a discussion about the material we covered. This week’s topic was “Developing Leadership” and we heard from a federal worker organizer at Glacier National Park. They showed the group their workplace chart, which is a tool used to keep track of not only who works somewhere but also relevant information: what their issues are, who they know in the workplace, what their job is, where to find them, etc. For the Glacier National Park organizers, having this workplace chart was key in being able to identify leaders in each spread out department. After the plenary, we discussed how to start talking to coworkers with the goal of eventually bringing them into the Organizing Committee. Important takeaways from that conversation were that talking outside of the workplace can make people feel more comfortable and getting to know your coworkers will better inform what matters to them both inside and outside of work.

The next session will take place on Sunday, May 10th at 12PM, hosted at 1916 McAllister. It’ll cover the steps of the the arc of the campaign, including how campaigns decide their next step.

If you’d like to get involved with the SF local chapter of EWOC, reach out to the lead coordinator Caitlin S or email labor@dsasf.org. EWOC is a standing topic at meetings of the Labor Board, which are held every other Monday at 7:00 PM, both in-person at 1916 McAllister and over Zoom. Anyone is welcome to attend, and we’re always looking for people interested In workplace lead canvassing, organizer trainings, and volunteer outreach. If you’re interested in organizing your workplace and would like to be connected with an EWOC organizer, fill out the request form here.
