Worker Empowerment Listening Session at Positive Vibes ft. Charleston Dem Party Chair “Pastor Dixon” & Ronald "Stunna" Smith.
Under the leadership of our state federation President, Boris Gibson, we have introduced the A.W.A.R.E Campaign, which stands for Advancing Workers Advocacy Rights & Equity. This campaign has been developed as a response to the challenges posed by the current dynamics of legislation, particularly the DOGE and the so-called "Big Beautiful Bill," which we believe have negative implications for workers and progressive organizations. The AWARE Campaign is designed to unify efforts among workers, their families, pro-worker organizations, and elected officials under one common banner.
As part of our official AWARE launch, we have organized a short tour from July 24th to July 27th, which will include a series of listening sessions, press releases, labor and faith dinners, and leadership meetings. This tour aims to foster dialogue, build connections, and strengthen our collective advocacy efforts.
