Dear Colleagues,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Election Day\u2014Tuesday, November 3\u2014is only 50 days<\/strong> away. That means we have just seven Saturdays<\/strong> left to shape the outcome of this election. We need to elect statewide leaders\u2014including the Governor, Attorney General, and Comptroller\u2014along with members of Congress and the state legislature who will defend public higher education and stand with the labor movement. The 2024 elections showed us that elections have real consequences for our institutions, our values, and our work. After two years of sustained attacks from Washington, now is the time to fightback! We can help shift the balance of power in Congress and strengthen our allies in the state legislature\u2014but only if we take action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below are Labor Walks taking place this Saturday, September 19th<\/sup> in the following four regions: Capital District, Long Island, Mid-Hudson\/Westchester and Rochester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please sign up for one of these Labor Walks. A strong UUP presence at these events will make a meaningful difference, so be sure to wear your red UUP T-shirt. If you need a shirt, email Teresa Swartz at tswartz@uupmail.org<\/u><\/a> with the quantity and sizes you need, and we will send them to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, be sure to take pictures of UUP members at these events. Send photos to Mike Lis<\/em>i (<\/em>mlisi@uupmail.org<\/u><\/em><\/a>) <\/em>and Amy Sheldon<\/em> (<\/em>asheldon@uupmail.org<\/u><\/em><\/a>) f<\/em>or use in UUP publications, the UUP website, and on social media. Please include the name of the event and any details about the event, when possible.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
