Solidarity Strategic Communications helps labor organizations and councils tell their story clearly, consistently, and well — so members stay informed, the public sees the work being done, and leadership can focus on what matters most.
Schedule a ConsultationEvery union, council, and trades organization has a story worth telling — the wages won, the apprentices trained, the job sites made safer. But telling that story takes time, and time is exactly what's in short supply for leadership already running the day-to-day.
Growing your reach beyond your current network matters just as much as engaging it — your wins deserve to be seen widely, not just by those already paying attention.
That's where I come in. I manage the communications — social media, newsletters, websites, and event support — so your organization always has a steady, professional voice in every room it needs to be in.

Your social presence should reflect the real work happening across the state — and reach the people who need to see it.
A consistent, direct line to your members — every single month.
Your website should look like the organization you are today — not the one you were two years ago.
From legislative days to local trainings, your events deserve communications that match their importance.
I start by understanding your organization's priorities, the members you serve, and the voice you already have. Then I make sure that voice comes through clearly and consistently, everywhere it needs to be seen and heard — with a communication plan that's steady, organized, and dependable.
Throughout, the approach stays flexible and responsive, adapting to what your organization actually needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all plan.
Good communication builds trust — and trust is what gets people to show up, pay attention, and get involved.
One flat rate covering all four core services: social media, website management, newsletter, and event support. Social media receives the largest share of focus given the ongoing content and engagement it requires. Event support flexes with your calendar — scaling up for conferences and legislative days, and back for quieter months.
Individual services are available à la carte for clients who'd prefer to start with fewer areas of support.
Request a ProposalImke Schessler is a communications professional, educator, and civic organizer based in Bangor, Maine. She holds a B.A. and M.A. in Communication from the University of Maine, where she now teaches as an Adjunct Instructor. She is also a proud member of the Part-time Faculty Association of Maine (PATFA), Local 4593 — so this isn't outside work to her. She understands labor from the inside.
Imke previously served on the Bangor School Committee, where she elevated the importance of equity in education and student-centered learning. Her civic impact on Bangor is as wide as her roots are deep: as President of the Downtown Bangor Partnership Board of Directors, she builds partnerships between city officials, businesses, and cultural organizations toward better-informed local investment. As an organizing member of Friends of the Lower Kenduskeag Stream, she helps coordinate volunteer-driven environmental clean-up efforts along the Kenduskeag Stream.
A grassroots organizer at heart, Imke believes strength comes through renewal and inclusion. She's dedicated to expanding outreach and deepening civic engagement, particularly among working-class Mainers in rural and underrepresented communities — voices she believes have long been overlooked and underserved by the political process.
