SUMMARY:May Day Strong Hudson Valley
DESCRIPTION:“They’re trying to strip us of everything working people have fought for—schools\, healthcare\, safety nets\, union rights—and hand it over to billionaires\,” says Barbara Walsh of Hudson Valley Strong-Indivisible\, one of the groups co-sponsoring the Poughkeepsie action on May 1. “We’re not standing for it. May Day is about reclaiming our future.” \nThe Poughkeepsie rally kicks off at 6 pm on May 1 at Victor C. Waryas Park\, joining more than 340 coordinated protests nationwide. Other actions are scheduled throughout May across the region in Kingston\, Newburgh\, New Paltz\, New Windsor\, Middletown\, and Great Barrington\, and Peekskill.

SUMMARY:Democratizing Work Primer (virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Most of us come from backgrounds and experiences that have not equipped us to share power. Our mainstream culture is predicated on competition and hierarchy. So\, what does it take to share power and practice democratic decision-making in an intentional\, structured way? How can we build the skills and culture needed for equitable and effective collaboration? \nIn this introductory workshop\, GWI provides a window into the kinds of relational shifts that facilitate a culture of shared leadership. We touch on the tools\, policies and practices that support democratic decision making\, and offer a glimpse into how they can be put into action. You will emerge with a sense of how to start taking steps towards sharing power in your organization or working group. \nMore info and register here
