Hello, colleagues.

I am reaching out to make sure you are aware of the upcoming Tax the Rich event in Albany on February 25th.  PSC members will join with other union members to demand that the legislature increase taxes on the rich (including corporations) so that everyone is paying their fair share to fund a more affordable New York.  We’ll be part of a mass march and rally outside the State Capitol that mobilizes thousands of people from across the state. The labor movement, Our Time, and grassroots groups big and small are joining forces to make it impossible for lawmakers to ignore our demands for a more affordable life and the fair share taxation needed to fund it.  This is how we fund programs that will help everyone: universal childcare, free buses, and a free and well-funded public university. It can make a better CUNY possible, and protect the services we depend on, even in the face of cruel federal budget cuts to health care and food assistance. 

PSC buses will depart at 6:00 AM (ugh. I know…but nobody ever achieved progress by sleeping in, right?) from locations in Harlem and Lower Manhattan and will arrive back to the same locations around 6 PM. Lunch will be provided.

In solidarity,
