Cyber and Legal behavior and security training and workshop

This event is going to be a Cyber and Legal behavior and security training and workshop. I will provide education for these topics with concrete examples with, to some degree, interactive content. This includes us practicing this and discussions on what the best practices will be. I could definitely lead this alone, but the more collaborative, the more ethical and effective we and this protocol will be.

Solidarity Saturdays: Delta Workers Phone-bank

DSA across the country is supporting the historic unionization drive of 18,000 Delta ramp, cargo, and tower workers. In 2023, Delta made 40% of the airline industry’s profits – more than United, American, Southwest, and Alaska combined. Despite these record profits, Delta workers are nowhere near the highest compensated in the industry in terms of pay or benefits. This is an important opportunity to support the revival of the labor movement and to support a racially diverse workforce in winning a union and more rights, which will help us fight Trump and the billionaire class.

Delta workers are organizing with the International Association of Machinists (IAM), who have asked DSA for solidarity! Across the country, Delta workers, union members, DSA, and IAM staff are phone-banking Delta workers on Saturdays asking them to resign expired union authorization cards. No experience needed; phone script provided.

1:00 PM – 4:00 PM
