It's Wednesday and we have another amazing DOTS fellow to introduce! Today, we’re welcoming Cal Radecki (they/them), who will be partnering with Oakland Rising.

Cal is a recent graduate from Pitzer College. “As I engaged with environmental and abolitionist work in college, I became passionate about applying multi-faceted and intersectional solutions to issues of social injustice and building coalitions across movements. I am excited to work with Oakland Rising on cultivating collective radical imagination and working towards the world we want to see!” We’re so excited to welcome Cal to the DOTS Fellowship and the Oakland Rising Team!

Gig Workers Rising released a press release last week: "App Workers Outraged as Uber, DoorDash, and Others Provide an Inadequate Response to Congressional Inquiries on Worker Safety Crisis."

"..U.S. Senators and Members of Congress Elizabeth Warren, Senator Edward J. Markey, and Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley criticized app-based corporations Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, Grubhub, and Instacard for their "blatant disregard" for the health and safety of workers on their platform."

Comment below if you or someone you know is a gig worker! If you're not a gig worker but support worker safety tell us how app-based corporations should protect their workers!

Another week, another wonderful 2022 Digital Organizing and Training Strategy Fellow! We welcome Nina Sirna (she/her), who will partner with Bay Rising.

Nina is a recent graduate of UC Berkeley and a talented linguist. “For the past three years I have been helping teach a Mam Maya language class based in Oakland and I am a volunteer for Maya No’j, a Bay Area organization advocating for language rights and cultural preservation for Mam students in the OUSD. I am passionate in my mission to break down language barriers and hope to inspire others across my community in this fight.” Welcome, Nina! We are so excited to have you join our Bay Rising team and DOTS Fellowship!

Another day, another wonderful 2022 Digital Organizing and Training Strategy Fellow! Today we are welcoming Jessica Cheng (she/they), who will be partnering with Chinese Progressive Association.

Since working with CPA: “They want to be part of educating and building movement with young people, working class communities and language justice, and a future without prisons/deportation.” Thank you Jessica for all your hard work at CPA and welcome to the DOTS Fellowship!
