This Thanksgiving, when my family and I gather to give thanks for all that’s important to us, we’ll be especially grateful for our labor friends like you.

Our local governments and state legislators across our nation rely on our nationwide network of progressive supporters and activists, and you’re a big part of that. Your energy, votes, your volunteerism, and your contributions make it possible for labor friendly advocates to win elections and push for progressive change in the workplace.

Your activism helps shine a spotlight on workplace democracy, provide key votes and actions by policymakers and make our communities stronger. Your voice amplifies the voices of millions of other workers – including those who are often silenced by fear. Together, we want progressive issues and progressive values to define our national debate to move our country forward.

In short, there is no union without you.

As the upcoming meetings, campaigns and programs unfold, working families everywhere will be counting on you once again. And we’ll continue to be thankful, as always, for everything you do.

Happy Thanksgiving, to you and yours.

Sincerely,

Bess Watts
President, CSEA Monroe County Local 828
