The road to the White House starts tomorrow in Carson City, Nevada – and AFSCME active and retiree members are in the driver’s seat!
AFSCME will host a presidential forum tomorrow at noon Pacific time (3:00 Eastern, 2:00 Central, 1:00 Mountain) with eight Democratic candidates. The forum will be moderated by ABC News’s George Stephanopoulos, who will ask these and other questions on our members’ minds:
* Will they pledge to support public service workers and the services we provide?
* What will they do to protect Social Security and ensure that every American retires in dignity?
* How will they make college more affordable for poor and middle class families?
The forum is already getting major attention across the country, including this write-up in the Washington Post. And AFSCME President Gerald McEntee wrote about the forum in his latest Huffington Post contribution:
