EWOC Locals

What is a local EWOC group?

The Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee (EWOC) is an organizing project of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America (UE Union). Our mission is to support any worker, in any industry, to connect with their co-workers and win lasting change in their workplace.

To do this, we connect workers with volunteer organizers and offer workplace organizing training sessions for workers and volunteers. As a national organizing project, we do most of this work virtually, but local EWOC groups can take this model and make it into something that happens in person in local communities.

How do I start a local EWOC group?

To create a new local EWOC group, you and anyone else who wants to join will first need to sign up as a volunteer with the form below. You will receive an email inviting you to attend an orientation to address any questions you may have about EWOC and starting a local EWOC group.
