Become a Member Political Organizer
Do you knock on doors for candidates? Do you make phone calls during election season? Do you travel to Olympia for Lobby Day? Do you invest in COPE?
If you answered yes to these questions you should sign up to me a Member Political Organizer!
Member Political Organizers (MPOs) carry the vision of a better society into our workplaces, into our communities and onto the campaign trail by helping to elect leaders who get results on health care, retirement security, education and other issues that matter to ordinary Americans.
In 2006, nearly 200 SEIU Local 925 members volunteered their time filling over 600 shifts of door knocking and phoning for candidates with proven records on issues that matter to working families. SEIU members made the winning difference in tight races!
We need to build upon this work to continue to elect candidates who will stand up for our families. You do the work and give to our COPE fund, now we need YOU to help make the decisions. SEIU Local 925 is forming regional MPO committees to review candidate records, interview candidates, and make the decisions about who our local should support in an election.
If you have knocked on doors or made calls for candidates with the union in past elections, contribute to COPE, and agree to volunteer 12 or more hours in 2008, sign up to be an MPO!
To become a MPO contact your local union Political Director Tricia Schroeder at tschroeder@seiu925.org or 206-322-3010.
Together, we can make politicians listen - and take action - on issues like health care, education, and retirement security.
