DC 37 POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE
Your Union Political Action Fund Needs You!
There’s a lot on the line this year! The results of the 2024 congressional and presidential elections will determine the fate of workers and communities across the nation. In addition to our work to elect pro-worker candidates, the DC 37 Political Action Team is fighting for tenant's rights, reforms to the Tier 6 pension system, fair funding for city and state agencies, and a host of other crucial issues.
We need your help to make sure the voices of DC 37 members are heard. Your support for the PEOPLE Program, our DC 37 political action fund, will allow us to get leaders in office who will fight for worker’s rights over corporate greed. PEOPLE contributions are used to fund Get Out the Vote campaigns, lobbying for member issues, directly supporting pro-workers candidates, and other important activities that we are legally restricted from using dues money to conduct.
