about

If you have a solidarity action to add to our list, you can directly submit it via this form or DM us on Twitter. Anonymous options coming soon.

Hot Labor Summer is built to make it easier to support worker actions and organizing. We're focused on collecting on-the-ground, digital and resource-based actions individuals can take in solidarity with and in support of workers and organizers.

The name #HotLaborSummer is inspired by Chris Smalls, president of the Amazon Labor Union, and is a reference to 'Hot Girl Summer' by Megan Thee Stallion. We are beyond thankful to Chris for his consent and enthusiasm for using this name.

We are an unaffiliated, volunteer team. Our goal is not to be a comprehensive source of truth about every worker action happening in America. Most credit belongs to the various efforts we're pulling information from.

Here are just a handful of the many folks doing indispensable work:

• Map and tracking projects such as Cornell's Labor Action tracker, Every Union Starbucks, Strikewave's OSHA complaint tracker, LaborLab's union-busting tracker, and Daily Union Elections - @UnionElections
• Media sources including (but not at all limited to)More Perfect Union, Strikewave, In These Times, Labor Notes, The Forge, The Real News, Payday Report, Portside.org
• Podcasts like Belabored, Working People, Labor Radio Podcast Network
• Organizers and workers who are sharing information on Twitter (check out who we follow)
• Lots of ways to start and support campaigns digitally and learn about organizing at Coworker.org
• If you want to unionize and don't know where to start: Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee (EWOC)
• To report or learn about union-busting by employers: LaborLab

We're Jane, Siena, and Boaz. You can find us on Twitter at @orientaljanedoe, @chiangstar, and @boazsender. Reach out to any of us with feedback or questions.
