      you can volunteer in some alt-albor organization that supports unions externally, like Tech Workers Coalition: https://techworkerscoalition.org/

    I tried to get my highschool leftist group to do a guerilla union rights leafleting campaign, specifically targeting Walmart, teaching all workers of how to unionize, what their rights are, and what anti-union lies to look out for.

    They said “unions aren’t leftist” and kicked me out.

      that’s why you do union organizing with organizers and not with edgy teenagers.
