Come out to the inaugural elected official town hall event being held by the UAW Local 2500 CAP Committee!

We are proud to give our members and the public at large the opportunity to hear from Congresswoman Tlaib on the issues we face, as well as offer the opportunity for attendees to ask any questions they may have about local, state, or federal politics as part of our mission to assist with political education.

UAW members will also have the opportunity to learn about the work that CAP does, and to sign up to donate to V-CAP at their workplace.

If you've ever wanted to know more about unions or wondered what that IWW is about, now's your chance to meet some Ypsi Wobs and learn more about the IWW does! Or maybe you’re familiar and just want to hang with like minds - either way we’ll have some folks talking about workplace union organizing, tenant union organizing, worker power, and how the IWW organizes.

We’re meeting at the Corner brewery (on Forest in Ypsi) and we’ll be hanging out for a couple hours. Come get a beer (or ginger ale), see what the IWW has been up to and hang with fellow workers!
