Jane’s life's work was guided by her understanding of the high stakes of the moment we live in, and the urgent need to take organizing seriously by massively scaling up our capacity to win concrete victories. Over the last five years at the UC Berkeley Labor Center, Jane taught and mentored thousands of rank-and-file workers and community and labor leaders. We will celebrate Jane’s immense impact on the labor movement, hear from labor and community leaders who organized, worked with, and learned from Jane, and learn about the ongoing UC Berkeley Labor Center programs that Jane built. Guest speakers will share how Jane’s work transformed their organizing and informs their approach today—from fundamental organizing skills to big and open negotiations, from power structure analysis to whole worker organizing. *Join us for a celebration on Zoom on Thursday, September 5, from 5:00-7:00 pm PT.* Please register before the event <https://berkeley.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=074f59ed482c13b03134c86d4&id=5f22880aa0&e=32180854f4>.

El trabajo de la vida de Jane fue guiado por su entendimiento del alto riesgo del momento en que vivimos, y la necesidad urgente de tomar en serio el trabajo organizativo por medios de escalar de forma masiva nuestra capacidad de ganar victorias concretas. Dentro de los últimos 5 años en el Berkeley Labor Center, Jane enseñó y aconsejó a miles de trabajadores de base y líderes laborales y comunitarios. Nosotros celebraremos el impacto inmenso que tuvo Jane sobre el movimiento laboral, escucharemos de los líderes laborales y comunitarios quienes organizaron, trabajaron, y aprendieron de Jane y aprenderamos sobre los programas continuos del Berkeley Labor Center que Jane creó. Los panelistas compartirán cómo es que el trabajo de Jane transformó su trabajo organizativo e informa su método hoy en día, desde “habilidades fundamentales de organizar” hasta “negociaciones abiertas y grandes,” desde “análisis de poder y estructura” a “cómo organizar trabajadores tomando en cuenta todas sus condiciones de vida." Únase con nosotros por una celebración en Zoom el jueves, 5 de septiembre de 5-7pm hora del pacífico. Habrá interpretación al español. Esperamos verlos en una velada para celebrar las muchas contribuciones de Jane a la construcción de un poderoso movimiento de clase trabajador, y cómo llevaremos a cabo su trabajo colectivamente.
