Make your voice heard by volunteering for our congressional candidates in the NYC area

June 22, 2014

All 1199 members are encouraged to make your voices heard by volunteering to help elect our congressional candidates in the NYC area. From now through Tuesday, members will be out talking to fellow members,giving them vital information and making sure they vote in the congressional primary. The federal government makes many of the decisions around healthcare funding and policy, and it is critical that all 1199 members get active. Congressmember Charles Rangel, Congressmember Nydia Velazquez, and Kathleen Rice have been our champions for quality healthcare, good jobs, and workers' rights, so we need to do everything we can to make sure they are representing us, our families and our communities in congress!

Join us for our exciting volunteer activities!
