Host a house meeting in your neighborhood
CHA members know that we must become a united group first in order to wield any power. You can play a role by inviting neighbors, family and friends to discuss common concerns and learn how to join with others of like mind to fight for better living and working conditions.
Lead your organization through the WBC
Members who are active in organization input, planning and membership leadership comprise the Sonoma County Workers Benefit Council (WBC). WBC decisions are made by consensus, including ratifying campaigns and demands. Members meet to coordinate the action CHA will take toward problems and needs expressed by the Council members and how the Benefit Program will grow in the interests of working people in Sonoma County.
Become a Delegate
As part of the WBC, members can take on the role as delegate to bring the concerns of other members working in the same industry, worksite or living in the same neighborhood to the WBC meetings. Delegates publicize organizational activities and benefits available to association members, as well as help run distributions of food, clothing and other supplies in their neighborhoods.
Build a self-help membership benefit program
Members are eligible to participate in a free-of-charge Benefit Program, designed by members for members. As a self-help organization, members participate in the building, functioning and oversight of the Benefit Program.
