“Tonight is all about taking back America,”
said Executive Director Lillian Roberts April 29 as DC 37 honored six locals
that raised their PEOPLE contributions by 10 percent or more in the last
year.
PEOPLE Committee Chair Esther “Sandy” Tucker presented plaques
for their outstanding achievements in AFSCME’s Take Back America drive
to leaders of Lifeguards Local 461, Lifeguard Supervisors Local 508, Laborers
Local 924, Sewage Treatment Workers Local 1320, Juvenile Justice Local 1457
and Clerical-Administrative Local 1549. PEOPLE is gaining momentum and raising
funds to beat George W. Bush in 2004 and turn the tables on the anti-labor
president, who “takes away the union rights of thousands of workers”
in Homeland Security and “uses the campaign finance law against unions
to make it harder to get out the message of working families,” said
DC 37 Political Action Director Wanda Williams.
PEOPLE is the voluntary political action fund of DC 37’s national union,
AFSCME. To contribute, please call 212-815-1550.
