the state’s workforce, lack access to paid sick days. The Healthy Working
Families Act would allow employees to earn one hour of paid sick time for every
30 hours worked, up to seven full days (56 hours) of paid sick days per year.

54] – United Workers is in the home
stretch in the campaign to pass Question J - the affordable housing trust fund
ballot initiative. There are two key outreach actions to educate voters about
Question J: Email todd@unitedworkers.org to volunteer.
The group is looking for volunteers
to cover key polling places with high "traffic". Here are shifts to
cover: 7 to 9 AM, 9 AM to noon, noon to 2 PM, 2 to 5 PM and 5 to 8 PM. In
relationship to the polling station coverage (handing out lit to voters on
their way in), there is a need for polling captains that will put up campaign
signs in the early morning prior to the polls opening and trouble shoot issues
that arise during the day. Can you be a polling captain? What
shift(s) can you could take on? Can you volunteer to spend a couple of hours in
a district simply putting the Question J literature in the door of targeted
registered voters? Go to http://www.unitedworkers.org/.

“One is called to
live nonviolently, even if the change one works for seems impossible. It may or
may not be possible to turn the US around through nonviolent revolution. But
one thing favors such an attempt: the total inability of violence to change
anything for the better" - Daniel Berrigan
