— Embrace flexibility, reprogrammability, democratic adaptability, and growth
— Recognize and create space for coalition-building across movements, with civil society
— Bring the constellation of union resources and meeting space types into the headquarters
— Support a pluralist agenda that addresses broader sociopolitical issues
— Center domesticc workers’ needs and women workers’ needs
— Forefront exchange within a diverse economy
