 Here are some first steps.
 
-* **Find a friend or two who will join you.** While organizing is about connecting people, it requires putting in energy and hope and emotion, and going alone can be hard, lonely, and demoralizing. Before you think bigger, just chat and connect with people, in a very low key way, about your concerns, until you find one or two others who are willing to put in the work with you. After that, everything becomes easier.

Before you think bigger, just chat and connect with people, in a very low key way, about your concerns, until you find one or two others who are willing to put in the work with you. After that, everything becomes easier. In all these first stages, try to keep conversations to trusted co-workers and keep management in the dark.
 * **Create spaces for workers to talk.** This can be in person, with group social events (happy hours, picnics, etc.) or virtually through group chats, discords, or the like, or both. These are not yet a committee or place for action – they are a place for people to build bonds and get comfortable sharing concerns – through them your group can sound out others, find out what they are worried about, and see if they may be inclined to help step forward themselves.
 * **Pose good questions and listen carefully.** A good organizing conversation is 80% listening and 20% talking. Don’t project your presuppositions onto others – find ways to connect, figure out what drives their concerns, and be a sounding board and sympathetic ear for their anxieties.
 * **Suggest comfortable and safe next steps.** You don’t run a race without warming up first. Get people comfortable with taking action together by sounding out what they seem ready for or enthusiastic about, and pick steps that develop their skills and self-confidence – from reaching out to other workers, to assembling research or discussions, to eventually perhaps more public and assertive actions.

 A workers’ inquiry is a tool for workers to produce knowledge about their own work \- and use this knowledge as a basis for organizing for something better. As an organizing tool, it gives workers a space to reflect on their conditions and consider the broader forces that shape them, as well as places they would like to see change, and potentials for how that change can come about. By going through this exercise together, we can better understand one another, identify key shared issues, and build solidarity. This particular inquiry was inspired by ones conducted at [University of Michigan](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1R7nIeolGibbFaCDAoMR2AA5xXTHsyylGbdo6K5lMe6k), a [workshop](https://ai-workers-inquiry.github.io/) at [ACM FAccT](https://facctconference.org/), [Data Workers Inquiry](https://data-workers.org/), and earlier from the inquiries conducted by [Tech Workers Coalition](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1idOGsiPdC5c8Rzke0zBcUvAa5dwZ4s56OPbhYAoqIXM/).

 ## Goals
 
 1. **Understanding the impact of AI on workers**: How is AI being promoted within our workplace? How is it impacting our work?
