May is coming which means it will soon be time to go back to Albany, NY for our spring Lobbying Day and Rally.
This year we will be there on Wednesday, May 14. Save the date.
We have fought hard and stopped every new mandate attempted in the last 5 years. We have fended off every other threat to our rights. And there are plenty of good bills we are fighting for.
Please join Mary Holland, Naomi Wolff, Shannon Joy, Bobbie Ann Cox, Sujata Gibson, John Gilmore, Michael Kane and many more speakers for a day of lobbying, rallying, education and solidarity to restore and reclaim our exemptions, our rights and our jobs.
Please register in the panel to the right so we can keep you informed!
Bring friends and family.
Bring signs.
Bring seven copies of a personal letter to the key decisonmakers.
