The AAUP is excited to be kicking off a new organizing campaign, Organize Every Campus.

As we’ve seen increasing attacks against our right to teach, research, and advocate for higher education as a public good, we also know what we have to do in response: organize with even greater purpose. The program will help hone and develop member and leader organizing skills so that we can stand together, fight back, and build a better future for ourselves, our students, and higher education.

Here’s how it works:

Faculty and staff who join the training will develop the fundamental organizing skills to win campaigns. Whether you are a rank-and-file member or a chapter leader, the course is designed to be practical. We will focus on how to build high-participation chapters and campaigns using a structure-based approach, including how to:

  • Identify organic leaders who can move your base,
  • Hold successful organizing conversations,
  • Learn to chart your campus,
  • Integrate structure tests into your campaign or organizing plan, and
  • Organize on your campus to build the power to win bigger and bolder demands.

Any member can sign up—we’ll help connect people on their respective campuses so you can take the training as a group. Visit the Organize Every Campus homepage to get current, up-to-date information on our available trainings and events.
