NAC and ARISE Election Events

New Action’s general meeting is at 5:30 PM this Thursday, Jan 23rd. That meeting will be over Zoom and if you’re on our email lists, you should expect a link in a day or so. If you don’t get one, please reach out to us.

We also have a few exciting events coming up that you should put in your calendar and register for. As you know, New Action is a part of ARISE, the Alliance of Retired and In-Service Educators, a coalition of three major UFT caucuses running in the 2025 UFT leadership elections.

We’re fighting for fair pay for all UFT members, better working conditions, improved Welfare Fund benefits, and permanent solutions to our healthcare crisis through laws like the New York Health Act. More than that, we are running to transform our union into a democratic, member-led, strike-ready union that has the power and organization to win these demands!

We are hosting a coalition launch party on Friday, January 31st from 4-7pm at Labor Notes Headquarters at 55 Washington St., Suite 522, Brooklyn, NY 11201. The closest subway station is York St on the F. Other nearby subway stops include High Street (A/C) and Clark Street (2/3).  

For those who can’t make it in person on the 31st, we will have a virtual launch event on Zoom on Sunday, February 2nd from 7-8pm. Please RSVP to either (or both!) events by completing this form.
