Planning Meeting #1: Latina/o Workers Leadership Institute 2026
Saturday, May 30, 10am - 12pm

Renick University Center @ UM Dearborn

Greetings, friends in labor!

It's time to start planning for September's Latina/o Workers Leadership Institute, which will be held at UM Dearborn September 17-19.

Our first LWLI26 Planning Meeting will be held NEXT SATURDAY, May 30, 10am-12pm, on the UM-Dearborn campus. Please note: the meeting will not be held in our typical meeting space. Map and directions below.

In these planning meetings, we collectively decide upon course offerings, the conference theme, awards recipients, T-shirt design, and other important factors that go into a conference. Decisions are made collectively by the people who show up, so come be part of this democratic process!

One topic of discussion and decision-making will be the renaming of our Cesar Chavez Award.

Everyone is welcome, regardless of background, union status, or previous conference attendance.

This meeting will be held in the Renick University Center, Room 1225. All buildings on Dearborn's main campus have the same street address (4901 Evergreen Rd), so we recommend typing "Renick University Center" into your navigation. You can park in Lot E5/6 for free.



The campus is located along Evergreen Rd, across from the Fairlane Mall. The Renick University Center is marked.



This will be an in-person meeting.

If you are outside the Metro Detroit area and would like to join virtually, please reply to this email and we'll make sure you get set up!

If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact Ghana Goodwin-Dye at 313-583-6594 or by email at [email protected].
