LCCEF Family:
Thanks to the work of many union leaders, the labor movement across the entire state is poised to elect pro-worker candidates to boards and local offices. Many of the folks running are union members themselves.

Thursday, April 15th @ 5:15, Oregon AFL-CIO will be kicking off member to member, union to union voter education + mobilization efforts for local races across the state.
