Join Us Friday, March 24, to Defend Our Rights
We are joining thousands of union members Friday, March 24, at the State Capitol in Hartford to resist the attacks on working people.
The legislature's budget-writing committee has raised dozens of anti-worker bills for public hearing. We must come together to resist all legislation attacking working people, whether they are union members or not.
The hearing will run late into the evening and there will be multiple actions to take part in, so come when you can any time, beginning at 10:00AM.
Wear your AFT tee-shirt to show we're "all in" to fight forward to protect and preserve Connecticut's quality of life for all our communities.
Thanks, and see you on the 24th at the State Capitol!
