Althea Erickson of the Freelancers Union<http://www.freelancersunion.org/index.html>contacted me this week - she found me via the Austin Coworking Meetup. Althea is interested in knowing how the Freelancers Union can support independent workers. This is not some spammy group - they're doing real advocacy and are very open source in nature. Tara, Alex, and Tony, I gave her your email addresses. The group is very NY-centric at the moment, but they're looking to have a broader national presence. We discussed health insurance (NY only for now) and BarCamp sponsorships... Althea is the community manager, and she's wisely looking to start by contacting existing groups and thinking about ways for them to contact each other.
I suspect she'll be joining this group, if she hasn't already :) Membership is free, btw. I'm about to go join. Lots of potential here, imo. best, Julie Gomoll --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Coworking" group.
