Fwd: Day of Outrage Rally Tomorrow & Lobby Day Preparations


Subject: Day of Outrage Rally Tomorrow  & Lobby Day Preparations

TEXAS STATE EMPLOYEES UNION / CWA LOCAL 6186

Description: http://www.cwa-tseu.org/PUBLIC/LobbyDay2011/tseu_ldlogo.gif

Lobby Day is our chance to say loud and clear that state employees care. We will stand up for our jobs, our pension, our health care, and for work we do for the people of our state. With the threats to state services and state jobs greater than ever, our show of solidarity and determination also has to be greater than ever.
Be there – Austin – April 6.

 

 

To all HOUSTON Area TSEU members

TSEU Lobby Day, Wednesday April 6th is less than a month away! Several events that will help us prepare for Lobby Day are coming up:

Tomorrow: "Day of Outrage" Rally
Houston City Hall / March 15 / 4:30-6:30pm

This is an opportunity for us to voice our opposition to the proposed state budget cuts, and to stand up with fellow public workers in Wisconsin, Ohio, and other states who are pushing back against attacks on public services and public employees. In Texas, the proposed budget cuts will slash funding for public education, higher education, and state services. Our own benefits and jobs are also under attack. Call the TSEU office if you are interested in attending, and look for the TSEU banner at the rally.

Sign and Banner Making Party,
TSEU Office / Saturday March 19 / 11am-3pm

Come by and help make banners and signs for the Lobby Day march and rally. We'll work on continuing the long tradition of creative banners and signs from the Houston area. Artistic skills are not required; Creative suggestions are appreciated. Lunch will be provided.

Be on the bus to take a stand for our jobs and the services we provide / Wednesday, April 6th
Be there for Lobby Day, April 6th in Austin. We'll be marching and rallying at the Capitol, before going inside to meet with legislators or their staff. Lobby Day is one of the best ways we can send a clea
r message to elected officials that their constituents don't support attacks on state services and state employees. Tickets are $15 and include lunch. Buy your ticket today, and get on the bus!
