Join us for our social justice organizing retreat in beautiful, sunny New Orleans! We’ll be sharpening our organizing skills, fine-tuning our campaign schematics, and meeting other student leaders in the movements for workers’ rights, anti-human trafficking, LGTBQ rights, immigrant rights, environmental justice, and so much more! Don’t have a campaign yet? That’s okay! Come and learn how to build a group on your campus!

Highlights:

*Meet students from all over, feed your creativity, fine-tune your organizing skills, and develop your game plans for your campaign! Build alliances with a network of students from across the country fighting for change, just like you! Plug into a national network of support!

*Learn about the history of student-labor organizing, and its’ amazing achievements!Students and garment workers have organized to see to the creation of Alta Gracia- the world’s first ever living-wage, union-made college apparel factory, in the Dominican Republic Free Trade Zone.

*Gain a better understanding of campaigning on campus with fun, interactive, youth-led workshops on coalition building, organizing conversations, power dynamics, and more! Hear from students who have had concrete wins on their campuses, and how they made it happen!

*Listen to direct testimonies from workers- both local and international- who are fighting for respect on the job, and learn how we can be in solidarity!

*Warm weather! Sunshine! Live music! Mardi Gras! Delicious food! Enjoy historic New Orleans!
