JwJ leaders visit Congress TODAY – CALL IN & back us up!

Our Day of Action JUST started – we need your help!  Do your part to fight greedy CEOs and corporate lobbyists who are trying to kill the Employee Free Choice Act.

CALL TOLL-FREE at 1-888-318-1664
UPDATE:  The Capitol Switchboard is overwhelmed!  Follow this link to look up your Senator’s direct line.

Tell your Senators to Support the Employee Free Choice Act.

Soaring health care costs. Foreclosures on the rise. An uncertain future. And now, a so-called “jobless recovery.”

How did this happen?  For years, we tried trickle-down economics. And it was a miserable failure.  That’s why hundreds of state leaders are in Washington DC TODAY, fighting for the Employee Free Choice Act – so workers can fix our economy from the bottom up. 

When more folks can negotiate for better wages, health care, and working conditions by joining a union, things get better for all of us. That’s what this bill is all about.

Will you back up local leaders on Capitol Hill today? 

Over 300 state leaders who support the Employee Free Choice Act are on-the-ground today, meeting with their members of Congress in support of the Employee Free Choice Act, including JwJ leaders from North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Maine, Missouri, California, Indiana and Virginia.  Will you back up their on-the-ground efforts by making quick calls to your senators, right now? It takes about 1 minute per call and makes a huge difference!

  1. Call Toll Free 1-888-318-1664 (or look up your Senator’s direct line)
  2. Ask to be connected to your Senator’s office.
  3. Tell the staff member who answers the city and state you’re calling from, and that you strongly urge your Senator to vote for the Employee Free Choice Act.
  4. Most calls end right there, but if you like you might mention:
    • The Employee Free Choice Act is a critical piece of our economic recovery.
    • If we really want to restore our middle class, workers must be able to bargain, not borrow their way to a better life.
    • By making it easier for workers to form unions, the Employee Free Choice Act will level the playing field and help ensure that the economy works for everyone again.
    • The Employee Free Choice Act would put real money into the hands of working families without costing the government a dime.

We need your help to win. Many of the same lobbyists and front groups who are spending $1.5 million a day to defeat health care reform are also spending millions to defeat the Employee Free Choice Act, engaging in the same kind of smear campaigns that are being used to try to kill health care reform.

We’re fighting back by sending people to lobby in DC. We need to back them up by OVERWHELMING the Senate switchboard today.

Please call your Senators now:  1-888-318-1664

Thank you for making our Day of Action an undeniable force to pass the Employee Free Choice Act!
