AFTMA/BTU Summer Organizing Institute! Monday June 29th 1pm-4pm & Tuesday, June 30, 2026 8:30am-4:00pm
Summer Organizing Institute (SOI) is our union’s deep organizing space to build the skills we need to win for our members, students and families in the classroom and beyond. From bargaining strong contracts, building strong school-site union structures and taking our movement to the streets in this critical time— we must be ready. Join us for SOI 2026; Monday June 29th 1:00pm-4:00pm Tuesday, June 30th, 2026, 8:30am-4:00pm at the Boston Teachers Union (180 Mount Vernon St, Dorchester).
Please find our two day agenda here.
Whether you are a brand new building rep or activist learning the basic building blocks of organizing or a seasoned union leader looking to bargaining your strongest contract ever, these two days are for you. If you’d like to build the cross-labor and community power to win elections and fight back attacks in our communities— this Institute is for you!
