AFTR
- ACTION COMMITTEE
MISSION
STATEMENT
“I
am mad as hell and I am not going to take it any more!” (from the movie Network)
The goal of this Action Committee is to give our members easily
achievable actions in order to protect public education and the rights and benefits of teachers.
IMPLEMENTATION and FOLLOW UP
The Committee will be asking for
members’ help in making phone calls, emailing or writing letters to legislative representatives. Since legislation seems to arise without much
notice, it is essential for all members to check the website (www.njaftretirees.org) frequently for all
updates.
Phone calls can be effective. So, when the committee
urges you to make phone calls, please act immediately. When calling the appropriate
legislative representative, please voice AFTR voting preferences.
By the same token, encourage
everyone to do so.
