Your union. Your voice. Your Statehouse. 

It’s time to return to the people’s house and advocate for strong public education, fair funding, and workers' rights! 

Join us for the third annual Lobby Day at the RI Statehouse

Tuesday, April 7, 2026 | 3:00-5:00pm. 

This year, we're making sure our voices are heard on the issues that matter most:

  • Strong funding for public education - including a fairer K-12 formula and stable investments in higher education and public health.
  • Protecting democratic control of our schools - opposing privatization schemes and defending local decision making.
  • Fair wages, benefits, and working conditions - including dignity in retirement through pension improvement, collective bargaining rights, and stronger workplace protections. 

On Lobby Day YOU'LL USE YOUR VOICE to meet one-on-one with your legislators to urge them to support students, fair funding, and workers across Rhode Island.

Let's build a stronger public education system and a better future for working people — together.

Save the date:  Virtual information session on March 26 at 4:30pm. Zoom credentials will be emailed to the address you provide in signup. 

 

 

Why do we ask for your address and cell phone number?

Great question! 

Your voting address helps us connect you with the correct legislators for your district so you can make the most impact.
