Social Justice Resources

NYSNA’s Labor Education Department is committed to giving our members the tools and the skills to advance social justice in our union and in our communities.

Labor Education

NYSNA uses a method called Popular Education which recognizes that our members enter the learning space with important experience, skills and knowledge. In our trainings participants build on that knowledge with new information, analysis, and an opportunity to practice skills in a supportive environment before applying them in the workplace. Popular Education also strives to create a learning environment that is democratic and challenges existing inequities so that all feel equally welcome to participate.
