I began work on a new system to allow others &#8211; senior correspondents, for example &#8211; to launch campaigns while I am travelling.  I also did a full review of the last two campaigns and what&#8217;s been translated and what not; as a result, we now have campaigns and mailings done for Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Turkish and Hebrew.  I&#8217;m still waiting for responses from our translators for Korean, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish and Vietnamese.  Ideally, all campaigns will appear in 18 languages, and we&#8217;ll mail to 18 lists. \u00a0As a result of these campaigns, we now have <strong>over 93,000<\/strong> names on our mailing lists.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Social media:<\/strong> I dealt with problems that arose from repeated attacks on our Twitter account (now solved). UnionBook grew to more than 5,000 members for the first time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Partners:<\/strong> I set up a meeting at the ITUC, to take place in Brussels next week.  I continued fundraising efforts with GUFs and British unions.  So far this year, nine GUFs have given money and seven British unions have either pledged or donated.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conference 2012:<\/strong> Work continues in Sydney; our organizing committee there is growing and meeting regularly and we&#8217;re sharing information on Basecamp.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I was travelling in the USA for part of this time, I have an excuse.
