Conference on Creative Organizing

June 22-24, at the Great Labor Arts Exchange

Want to learn more about how to organize creatively with songs, art works, skits, etc.? You're invited to the June Great Labor Arts Exchange and Conference on Creative Organizing in Washington, DC. There you'll gather with other union and community activists, cultural workers, artists, and labor educators who use songs, art, poetry, theater, skits, posters, game shows, cartoons, and film to strengthen the labor movement. Click here for a downloadable brochure.

The Conference on Creative Organizing is a leadership-training program that focuses on thinking outside the box and approaching challenges creatively from a different point of view. Develop new skills and involve others in fun, creative strategies.

As musician Charlie King points out in an article for the Musicians Local 802 in New York, the union movement has always depended on song to inspire and energize workers. In 1935, "a wave of industrial organizing and militant strikes rode on an undercurrent of song."
