Dear Sisters and Brothers,

The Local 52 Young Workers Committee is hosting a workshop entitled Local Politics 101 on Sunday, August 26th at 12:00 p.m. at the Local 52 Union Hall located at 19-02 Steinway Street, Astoria, NY 10015.

This workshop is open to all Local members and their families. Please join us as we take a deep dive into the hidden mechanics of politics and decision making in New York City and the United States at large.

This workshop will cover key topics like:
Election Law
Political Geography
Money in Politics
The Party Structure in America
And how best to engage with the existing system to effect real change.

This workshop has been specifically tailored to the interests of the Union and will feature a primer on the Janus v. AFSCME case and what the Supreme Court’s decision means for the future of unions. In addition, it will explain why contributing to Union PAC Funds and participation in Union politics is vital to the strength of our local and to the future of labor rights in the U.S.

Taught by Benjamin Yee, Secretary of the New York County Democratic Party and Democratic State Committeeman, this workshop will give Local 52 members and their families an insider’s view of the American political system.

Please RSVP at [email protected]. Any questions or comments please contact Joanna Tillman at the Young Workers Committee at [email protected]. Light refreshments and snacks will be served before the event, please come early and enjoy!
