We need your help to lobby against A-2001/S-2455, which would move all community college employees into the SHBP from the SEHBP.  The bill will be voted on by the Assembly this Monday, October 29.  This bill is another attack on our collective bargaining rights.

For your information I have attached a lobby day flier for Monday, October 29 and a Take Action piece describing this bill in more detail and what we can do to fight!

Please do your best to call and send an email to your legislators to let them know you oppose the bill.

• Call your members of the Assembly:
  • Dial 1-855-630-5896 and after a brief message, you will be connected to your Assemblymember
• Send an email:

Please work with our fellow members to spread the word. This will serve as a symbol of unity!
