What can we improve thanks to the pandemic's hard lessons?
I’m doing a series of interviews with contributors to the second book by the Wicked Problems Collaborative, What do we do after the pandemic? I recently sat down with Kati Sipp to discuss her chapter, The Shape of Things to Come, in which she takes a look into a future in which humanity learned valuable lessons from the pandemic and then headed down a more humane path from there. Kati and I also discussed her work in electoral politics and she shared the story of a coalition she recently worked with that took a broad approach to collectively make meaningful gains.
WPC Book #2: What do we do after the pandemic? is available for pre-order.
Kati Sipp is the Principal of New Working Majority, a consulting firm that works with workers’ organizing groups, community organizations, and social enterprises committed to fighting for racial, economic, and gender justice. Prior to her work with NWM, she served as the Managing Director for the National Guestworkers Alliance. She founded the Pennsylvania affiliate of the Working Families Party, and spent nine years working for SEIU Healthcare Pennsylvania, serving as the statewide Political Director and Executive Vice President of the local.
In 2013, Kati launched the blog Hack the Union, to investigate how technology is changing work, and how organizers are using technology to relate to workers in new ways.
Kati is the proud mother of Alina and Isaac. She is on the boards of Make the Road States and the Disruption Project and she holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Mason Gross School of the Arts, Rutgers University.
