Organizing Power Volume 1

By Jessalyn Aaland, Ana Fox-Hodess, and Nat Naylor

Want to understand what a union is and how to start one at your workplace? Then this is the booklet for you! It outlines key steps in the organizing process, includes tips for handling employer pushback, and features stories from workers across museums and nonprofits. Used by campaigns at institutions like the Philadelphia Museum of Art and Seattle Art Museum, this booklet has become a trusted resource for building solidarity and taking action.

Text adapted from online resources with additional writing by the authors. Illustrations by Tanna Tucker.

It was developed as part of Jessalyn Aaland's 2018-2019 fellowship at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts.
