NPP In Action

"As the national organizer for two US tours of Iraqi trade unionists, I ensured that local organizers had the resources needed to make these events a success. NPP's fact sheets were by far one of the most useful tools we provided. Organizers across the country appreciated how these sheets brought the issue of the war home."

- Thomas Bacon, National Organizer
