Transcript GimmeFIVEUAW’s National Mobilizing Program

1

Designed to increase activism, recruit and engage
members to organize, building power and win
justice for our union and community.

The program simply asks members to recommit to
the union by devoting time in the following areas:
recruitment, mobilizing, organizing, political action
and community involvement.

Members will receive a button for every five (5)
activities attended. Each time you complete a task
you will be rewarded for your hard work with a
new button. The goal is to collect all five buttons
every calendar year.

The Regions with highest level of recruitment and
activism will receive recognition at the yearly UAW
CAP Conference.

As a direct reflection of the continuous growth in the
GimmeFIVE Program, we would like to unveil the NEW
“Community “ button. Due to the tremendous support and
effort our members contribute to the community, we felt this
was a necessary addition to the program.
Another big announcement, effective November 2011, the
GimmeFIVE Program has changed from HOURS to ACTIVITIES
to further increase activism within our membership and make
it easier for members to report their activism.
We are energized about the new features to the GimmeFIVE
Program, including the addition of “Español” pages for our
Spanish members.
