Soft goal: have a better understanding of workers rights. Started listening the JVN “Getting Curious” podcast about trade unions, and I’m finding it helpful for a simpleton like myself to understand the nomenclature of unions and organizations.

Hard goal: find a way to be more active and less passive regarding my political beliefs. Volunteer, donate, organize, something.

My long-term goal is to start drafting and workshopping some bylaws (likely based on the CWA's) that can show people here and in my workplace the beginnings of what a union or guild might look like for us.

I also hope to be directly and actionably supportive of anyone here who wants to be more politically involved (whether over labor issues or otherwise)—especially if you're local to NYC!
