One of the most important actions you can take in this fight to save collective bargaining is to attend your legislators’ in-district forums. When you attend a legislative forum, be sure to introduce yourself and talk about the job you do or did as a public employee; not your title, but the services you provide. Maybe you’re a family member or just a community member who recognizes the importance of public employees – share that. Tying faces and stories to this fight is how we will win. If you live in a legislator’s district, make sure they know that, and let them know if you voted for them. Then ask,

“Will you vote against any changes to my collective bargaining rights?”

“If this bill is so great, why is it being done in secret”

“Why offer this shell bill with no opportunity for input from the public”

“Are you going to vote against workers rights?”

“What’s in the bill?”

“What are you hiding in this bill”

Let us know about the conversations you have; it helps us know where to focus our efforts. Send an email to [e-mail] and tell us about your experience. We also would like to have photos and videos of these events. Live stream on Facebook.
