POLITICAL ACTION MOBILIZATION ALERT

Western New York--  To put it mildly, working families are tired of the constant attacks on our union members: the hard-working, tax-paying, community neighbors who deliver the vital services to their cities, towns, villages, counties and the state. 

CSEA has two upcoming opportunities for you to learn more about how to stand up against these attacks, and then, put these practices into action! First, a Training Day that will give you the tools you need to combat these anti-worker, anti-service attacks, and second, our annual Albany Lobby Day.

These opportunities will give members a chance to educate ourselves on the issues and prep you to meet with state legislators and let them know: the work we provide does matter, the services we provide are needed, and we are a vital part of keeping the Empire State moving in the right direction!

1. NYS Budget Campaign Training

When: Saturday, Feb 12th, from 11 am – 2 pm

2. Attend AFSCME/CSEA Lobby Day

On March 1st, thousands of CSEA and AFSCME members from across New York State will gather in Albany to speak to their legislators about the state budget and issues of importance to their Units and Locals. By joining together for one day of action, we can have a massive impact.
