Some guidance from AFT CT on how we can harness the power of our collective voice at legislative hearings.

Our lawmakers have a say in our future, and as public employees, that includes our labor contracts!

These meetings are a great opportunity to speak with our elected officials in casual, small group settings. It's a chance to let them know the issues that are important to you as a constituent and to working families in general.

Find the one near you, get a colleague to come along, and RSVP — let our lawmakers know we're paying attention, we have voices, and we vote!
