Advocacy Chapter Organizing
- Gathered here are the collected resources and content developed by experienced AAUP staff and members on effective organizing at AAUP advocacy chapters. These resources will guide you through the process of starting and executing an organizing campaign at your institution, from introducing what organizing means in a non-union context to the nuts and bolts of building a team and talking to your colleagues.
- The Advocacy Chapter Mobilization Fund is a special grant fund dedicated to chapter organizing and member mobilization. Any AAUP advocacy chapter in good standing may apply.
- As part of the AAUP's Organize Every Campus campaign, advocacy chapters are eligible to receive a portion of members’ dues back when members participate in active organizing efforts. These resources will help chapters develop an organizing culture and build power on campus.
