This training is open to Teamsters members.
Wellstone Action's Labor Program (WALP) aims to partner with
progressive labor organizations committed to building a political
infrastructure, leadership and capacity within International Unions, local
unions and community partners. We take an integrated approach to organizing and
advocacy, with the capacity and ability to customize trainings to fit the
specific needs of our partners. Union grassroots organizing, advocacy, and
electoral work need to be better integrated so that electoral infrastructure and
mobilizing capacity do not come and go with each electoral cycle, and that
community and political relationships built during election cycles provide
foundations for more effective union organizing and advocacy work outside the
electoral arena.
