Want to save our jobs? Help us get dollars from DC

We’re going to face mass unemployment if we do not compel Congress to pass a strong HEROES Act that bails out state and local governments to avoid layoffs and budget cuts. That’s the bottom line. Congress already bailed out the richest of the rich months ago with $5 trillion in taxpayer money. They won’t give us a penny unless we raise hell. We should and we must – or they’ll leave us in the dust.

We need relief from DC – and, for our union, calling Arizona is the key. Why?

The HEROES Act is stuck in the U.S. Senate – and California’s senators already said they’ll vote to pass it. So, we must target other U.S. Senators who bent on weakening the HEROES Act – like the senators in Arizona. They need to know we’re not fooling around. And that we are ready to mobilize essential workers and voters in other states to make sure it they pass a strong HEROES Act that bails out states and local governments – and public workers on the frontlines!

Don’t let them call us “heroes” today only to lay us off tomorrow. Sign up now to phone bank for the HEROES Act – and let’s get those dollars from Washington, DC.

Together, we rise.
