“As a long-time active member of my union, I have seen the difference it makes having a School Board that works with union members and one that doesn’t. It is so important that we helped the right individuals get elected because they make major decisions that affect our lives and those of our children. It is not only important for me to stand up for my own worker’s rights but I also want to stand with seniors, the working class, and labor; this is why I became involved with canvassing and phone banking during election time.”
– Debbie Acosta, FUSD Swimming Operator
“Although we may have come a little short in electing Andrew Janz to Congress, as union members, we have a lot to be proud of in this election. We were able to help elect TJ Cox for Congress. As Central Valley residents, we came together to put the challenges impacting working families at the forefront and protected vital funding for education, roads, and infrastructure by shutting down efforts to pass Prop 5. This election granted us a tremendous opportunity to see new union members engaged in the political process while also contributing to our governor’s race by electing Gavin Newsom who supports our rights to organize in our union. I am poised and committed to standing up for my union, my family, and my community as I continue to hold those elected accountable.”
– Brian Murillo, Fresno County Social Program Supervisor
