Working Class Unity

Coffee with WCU is a chance to hear what we are working on and find your place in it: research against Flock surveillance cameras in Stockton, the new Socialism 101 series, monthly After Hours political discussions, plans to connect Know Your Rights work with tenant union organizing, and ongoing BDS research. Join us, talk with us about the work ahead, and learn how you can take part.

Are you new to WCU and want an easy way to get started? A worker who wants to organize around housing or the job? Been around for a while and want to reconnect with comrades?

Join us for Coffee with WCU: a casual, small-group hang to meet people, talk about what’s happening locally, and learn how to plug into our work. All are welcome to join, even if you’re not a member of WCU! Come and go as you please.

We’ll share what WCU is building in San Joaquin County: tenant organizing to form tenant associations and win material improvements, expanding our immigration and Know Your Rights (KYR) work to keep our communities safer and connected, and starting workplace organizing.

A WCU member will be there to answer questions and help you find a next step that fits your schedule and comfort level.

Dealing with landlord problems, unfair rent hikes, or ignored repairs? Facing these issues alone is isolating and rarely effective. Join our Tenant Union workshop to learn how you can connect with neighbors and use your collective voice to get repairs, challenge unfair increases, and win real improvements.

Immigration enforcement is rising across the country. Even if San Joaquin County isn’t seeing the same level of activity as other cities, we can’t be complacent. Working people here have each other’s backs.

Please join us for this community forum.

At this event, we will:

Talk about combating fear through community outreach

Connect volunteers with roles (no experience needed)

Discuss our united front statement and how organizations can sign on

Plan next steps in workplaces, neighborhoods, schools, and congregations

Our pledge is simple: We will not abandon our neighbors. We will not be divided by papers, race, language, party, or zip code. We are building an independent, countywide front of workers to protect one another, together, from the ground up.
