As a direct reflection of the continuous growth of the GimmeFIVE Program, we would like to unveil the new "Community" button. This was necessary due to the tremendous support and effort our members contribute to the community.

Our second big announcement is the GimmeFIVE Program is switching from Hours to Activities to further increase activism. As of November first, members will receive a button for every five (5) activities attended. Members who prior to November first logged hours in any category that totaled four or more hours were given a button which will be the last buttons to be distributed for earned hours. Members who logged one to three hours were transitioned from hours to activities and have been given full credit for one activity completed.

The GimmeFIVE Program recruits and engages members in a new and innovative mobilizing program to organize, build power and win justice for our union and communities. “GimmeFIVE” is a National program designed to increase activism, to mobilize for collective action, and to improve our capacity to communicate to members regularly on issues activities etc. This program is designed to amplify the efforts of the UAW Regions, as well as the International Union.

Remember: In order for you to receive credit for your activities you participated in this year, you must log them in by December 31. (Button distribution will now be sent to your local union monthly.)  You can log your activities by clicking this link -http://app.gimmefiveuaw.org/login
