If you’ve never been to Lobby Day before, this is the year to make it happen, especially if you’re counting on your pay raise this July.

Legislators are grappling with a $1 billion budget deficit, and funding for our contract wins–including your COLAs and Step Raises–is on the table.

That’s why we need strength in numbers on Lobby Day.

The more members who show up to speak directly to legislators, the more power we have, and the more likely we’ll be able to hold on to the wins in our Partnership Agreement.

If you’re on the fence because you live far from the Capitol, we got you: the hotel is on us as long as you register before midnight today.

If you don’t know what to expect or what to say to legislators, we got you: we’re holding virtual trainings in addition to an in-person training the night before to make sure you’re ready.

And if you’re on the fence about the whole experience, we got you: uniting with your fellow state employees to deliver a message to powerholders is pretty cool. Every. Single. Time.

Register now, friend, and I’ll see you there.
