Ensuring that our legislators know who we are and what we need from them lies at the heart of our District efforts, and we believe that no one can accomplish this better than our members. On Tuesday, June 25, we will head to the State Capitol to meet with legislators and elected officials. At noon, we will hold a rally on the steps of the Capitol Rotunda, followed by a debriefing session before departure.
The District will arrange bus transportation specifically for Rally and Lobby Day activities on Tuesday morning. Buses will depart from both Pittsburgh and Philadelphia for members who are not staying overnight in Harrisburg, contingent upon having enough sign-ups. Please complete the form in the attached link to indicate your availability: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/D10Capitol. We will confirm bus transportation once responses are collected.

The success of the labor movement depends on our ability to build power through activism. Legislative engagement is one of the most immediate ways to fight against the efforts of employers to diminish hard-won workers’ rights. Through one-on-one conversations with our elected officials, we will demonstrate our readiness to fight for and protect our core values that make the working class stable and strong.
For questions regarding the Lobby Day Prep or Rally, please contact Maurice Cobb at (717) 315-3045 or mcobb@usw.org.
We eagerly anticipate seeing everyone there.
In solidarity,
Bernie Hall
District 10 Director
