I’m doing this for the first time, and starting it on my own… but I know, from dozens or hundreds of conversations with UESF members, that there is a strong need for greater transparency in our union, for more critical questions, and for much broader involvement of the members in making important decisions. This blog is an attempt to bring the needs of those members out in the open, in hopes we start talking with each other about how to build a more inclusive, open, democratic, and powerful union.
