On March 6 and 7, 2015, twenty-three USW members attended the National Organizers Workshop in Washington, D.C. There were over 700 organizers from unions and community groups in attendance to talk shop and dream big. This was both a working conference and a celebration of the 25-year anniversary of the Organizing Institute. The event featured hands-on workshop and plenary sessions that shared ideas and allowed us to reflect on the past and inspire our future.
