Tula Connell
I got my first union card while I worked my way through college as a banquet bartender for the Pfister Hotel in Milwaukee (we were represented by a hotel and restaurant local union—the names of the national unions were different then than they are now). With a background in journalism—covering bull roping in Texas and school boards in Virginia—I started working in the labor movement in 1991. Beginning as a writer for SEIU (and OPEIU member), I now blog under the title of AFL-CIO managing editor.

Now just to be clear that everyone understands what kind of workshop this is, here’s a little teaser on it:

411 on Blogging

This is a hands-on e-activism workshop. We will assist users in accessing the blogging world; starting their own blog; making comments on other blogging sites to spread their views and will focus users on the labor blogging community. We will also teach some html coding specific to blogging like adding links, embedding videos and inserting links using graphics. As a hands on event, this will be a longer workshop with a lunch break in the middle. At the end of the session, users will have created their own blogs, have user profiles in other blog sites and also be able to create simple code for their new sites.

So, if you’re in the DC area, want to know what labor blogging is all about, OR know someone who'd benefit from this, sign up!!.  We're going to help everyone in a hands on way to use blogs, forums and to get out there with e-activism.  We need the voices on the netroots!! So, come on out and join us for this amazing workshop!!
