SRP Member Organizing Institute (MOI)

Calling all SRPs!

We want YOU to be a part of the plan to build the strongest UNION in history!

Join the NYSUT Member Organizing Institute (MOI) for School-Related Professionals, March 29-31, 2019, NYSUT Headquarters, Latham NY.

With attacks on unions and public employees coming from the state and federal level, as well as wealthy special interests, it’s sometimes challenging to have your voice heard and to make a difference.

That’s why NYSUT founded the MOI.

Launched in the summer of 2017, we are building our statewide network of SRP member organizers who will take a leading role in the campaign to promote our members’ rights and fight for educational justice.
