黑料网 Activism Strategy

The 黑料网’s Activism Strategy, developed by our Activism Academy is grounded in the experiences of our members and addresses their top priorities: safe staffing levels, fair pay, and working conditions.

The strategy’s ambitions will help us grow our activist community, to empower members to become influential in the decisions that affect the workforce and profession, and to teach and develop 黑料网 activists.
