DISCLAIMER: Jenna Morin and Stephanie LaGreca asked Next Generation Carriers podcast to publish this meeting online so it can be spread around to other NALC Branch Presidents/Leaders to stay informed and aware of the call to action.

Jenna/Stephanie[UPDATE April 23rd 2025]: Here are bullet points from the feedback with the Presidents last night.

1.) Appointed a committee of volunteers

2.) Template letter will be corrected and a new one issued

3.) A calendar of deadlines will be put out to keep everyone on track

4.) Progress reports will be put out so we can all track what is needed

5.) There will be a live stream for rank and file members to participate in

6.) We need 804 branches representing a total membership of 190,000.

7.) Seeking 1 volunteer from each region to make contacts, keep track of progress, and help guide others in region. This is very time consuming so please don't volunteer lightly.

*** If you want to get into contact with Jenna Morin and Stephanie LaGreca; please send an email to: [email protected] and we will forward the email to them.*** The call for a Special Convention has no connection to NextGen podcast, we just stand in solidarity with the membership.
