Solidarity in Action

As we gather for this year’s Summer Leadership Conference, we recognize that our collective power lies in our unity. Solidarity actions are a powerful way to show that when one of us is impacted, all of us are impacted. Whether we are standing with workers, advocating for fully funded schools, or fighting for racial, social, and economic justice in our communities, our voices are stronger together. This summer, we are taking action to uplift and support each other — because solidarity isn’t just a value, it’s a practice that fuels our movement forward.

This organizing experience will come with training before this action on best practices, what to expect, and other relevant items.

To make this event truly special, we are asking every member to actively participate. Your unique perspective is valuable, and together, we’ll create a more engaging and enriching experience for all! MSEA also understands that this experience may require physical mobility. If you have concerns, please email us at [email protected] and we’ll follow up. There are plenty of ways to be involved!

If driving is required, please indicate below whether you are willing to drive yourself and others.

Help us set the vibe!

Do you have a song (or three) that makes you smile? A song that makes your heart happy? A song you can’t help but to do a little dance-y dance to? Your hero song that makes you feel unstoppable? Please share it so we can create an SLC playlist that speaks to us all!

***Please include song name and artist!***
