TAA-UFAS 2008 Political Action Kickoff!
Tuesday, August 26, 2008
Clear your calendars! Save the date! Whatever it takes, be there!The TAA Political Action organizing team and our good friends at UFAS (our brothers and sisters of United Faculty & Academic Staff) is proud to announce our TAA-UFAS 2008 Political Action Kickoff event! We'll rally with fellow union members as well as union and political leaders.
The event will take place on September 16th at 5:30 PM over at Grainger Hall. We'll hear from a great list of speakers that will cover topics ranging from what's at stake in 2008 from the presidential election through the state legislature, what a pro-labor, pro-education, pro-UW majority in the state legislature will look like, the political lay of the land - and perhaps most importantly, what we can do about it.
Here's the list of speakers right now:
AFT-Wisconsin President Bryan Kennedy
AFL-CIO Wisconsin Executive Vice President Sara Rogers
62nd Assembly District Rep and former AFT-Wisconsin Political Director Cory Mason
78th Assembly District Rep and potential future chair of the state legislature's (all-important) Joint Finance Committee Mark Pocan
A high-level surrogate from the Barack Obama campaign.
So check out the details with the event listing on our TAA Politics Facebook page and we'll see you there! Don't forget to RSVP and to share this with your friends...let's pack the place!
