Stronger Together: JWA Closes 2025, Powers Up 2026
By JWA Team •
As 2025 ends, JPMC Workers Alliance is bigger, braver, and more connected. Through meetings both online and in person; we grew our network, backed each other up on the job, and started planning how to turn that energy into real power in 2026.
Quick Recap: What We Did
- We grew. More coworkers joined our Action Network list, Discord, and vetted membership. JWA is now a real structure inside the bank, not just a group chat.
- We supported each other. A 25-person Thanksgiving gathering, game nights, and local meetups showed what solidarity feels like in practice.
- We stood up for our rights. When a manager tried to shut down workplace conversations, a member asserted their NLRA rights and management backed down.
- We trained as organizers. We learned about building to a two-thirds supermajority, finding trusted “organic leaders,” and using structured organizing conversations.
- We planned ahead. We started mapping who works where, brainstorming future bargaining units, Valentine’s outreach, and even a long-term vision for a tech-worker guild.
Looking Ahead to 2026
2025 proved JWA exists.
2026 is about proving JWA is powerful.
Our focus:
- Build supermajority support in key buildings and departments
- Identify leaders in every major site
- Use maps and data to guide future bargaining units
- Turn RTO and in-person time into chances to organize
- Make calmly asserting our rights a normal part of work
Call to Action
In the next month, choose one step:
- Talk to two coworkers about what is hardest at work
- Join a game night, meetup, or organizing call
- Help with mapping, flyers, writing, or outreach
- Tell us what skill you want to build (one-on-ones, leadership, legal rights, tech organizing)
JWA is you and your coworkers. Every conversation, every flyer, every “you’re not alone” moves us closer to the power we deserve. Here’s to a bold, organizing-filled 2026.
