The MRLF Solidarity Action Fellowship is a new hands-on training program offering action-ready skills to emerging labor leaders.
Build skills and try them out with five core sessions, two field experiences, and a final capstone through a curriculum made by and for organizers — all grounded in solidarity and worker power. 👉 Register at bit.ly/solidarityfellow or below.
