We wish to draw your attention to two (often underutilized) resources available to you. These are the following two email lists:

iww-news@lists.iww.org

and

alerts@lists.iww.org

The first list, iww-news@lists.iww.org, is obviously for sharing news about IWW and IWW related organizing, public meetings, public forums, editorials, and the like. It can and has also been used for labor news potentially interesting to IWW members.

If interested, you can subscribe here: http://lists.iww.org/listinfo/iww-news

The second list, alerts@lists.iww.org, is intended as an "urgent action" announcement list, for the purpose of alerting IWW members and supporters to urgent actions, such as fundraising appeals, calls for solidarity, and actions (such as strikes and pickets).

If interested, you can subscribe here: http://lists.iww.org/listinfo/alerts

List traffic is frequent, but not overwhelming. If you believe that subscribing to either or both lists will overwhelm your email in-box, we suggest that you request "daily digest" mode for each list, and that will limit the email you receive to daily digests. Since both lists are meant for news and announcements only digest mode should not impede the flow of information.

We strongly encourage each of you to subscribe to each list and encourage your fellow workers in the IWW and your allies outside of the union to subscribe to each of these lists. We encourage all subscribers to post your news and alerts to both lists as well. These tools are designed to build the IWW and strengthen our support base.
