I've just posted some important personal and professional news about my health crisis on my website.janemcalevey.com/ please read and share with relevant folks in our struggle for justice. My best to you all--
8) Exit, Voice, and Loyalty- Hirschman; &
No Shortcuts - @rsgexp
Hirschman's amazing piece explored how individuals can promote their rights via exit, or advocacy (voice). McAlevey provides a great case study, how union organising actually works and how to do it.
My Books Threads: Thread
A few folks have asked if I could consolidate the lists I've made and pin them so here goes.
1) Best books on Economic Inequality.

Best books on Economic Inequality.
1) Inequality - Tony Atkinson. Absolutely THE book on inequality and what can be done about it. Atkinson was a giant in the profession and this book reflects this, the length-insights ratio of this book is amazing.
Why structure tests? Looking forward to our sixth and FINAL session of this year's Core Fundamentals, where we'll hear from a few of our participating groups about WHAT they're doing to build their campaigns, WHY they're using structure tests, and HOW they plan to win ✌️
Another victory for off-Broadway workers!! Public Theater crewmembers have voted to join IATSE with an overwhelming 94% voting UNION YES🗳️☑️
The Public is the 5th venue to organize since the off-Broadway campaign began earlier this year! 🙌
These concepts are SO often confused, I hear them used interchangeably, like nails on a chalkboard. As you state, key differences between them. Learn the differences and apply them. Like "organic" or "natural" leader versus committed activist.
Both have such an important role to play in organizing!
Put it on paper!
Far too often this “info” is in people’s heads & therefore not accessible - this info belongs to the workers - and yes we need to analyze & critique it!
Organize fossil fuel workers for ecosocialism! My MA thesis follows the arguments of people like @Matthuber78, Andreas Malm, @rsgexp, John Bellamy Foster, Steve Beda, and others to outline the beginning steps of what that organizing might look like.

What's the difference between Mapping & Charting, and how does learning and applying the difference make you a better organizer? Looking forward to discussing this & much more with our 1000s of participants from across the 🌍 during Week 5 of our 6-week Core Fundamentals program.
Student and worker protest movements have always pushed the UC to the right side of history. As UC demonstrates in an article on their own website, it is the students and workers who remain the driving force of change in the UC system. universityofcalifornia.edu/n…

With this weekend’s Israeli massacre of Palestinians in Rafah, facilitated by US weapons and political cover, the growing strike by @uaw_4811 members at U of California takes on even greater importance.

How do you handle objections & other tough moments in a 1-1 structured organizing conversation? Looking forward to seeing our 1000s of registered participants soon for Session 4 of O4P's Core Fundamentals, where we'll deepen our learning about how to win over hard-to-move leaders
Paul Weller performs with a Palestinian flag on display. Asked about it, he replies, “Am I against genocides and ethnic cleansing? Yes, I am, funnily enough. I can’t understand why more people aren’t up in arms about what’s going on. We should be ashamed of ourselves, I think.”
