AFSCME Celebrates Law Enforcement Week

Members of AFSCME’s law enforcement community take countless risks to keep our communities safe.

Tell Your Legislators to Support the Millionaire's Tax

We stand in solidarity with Governor Murphy, and believe that he has proposed a responsible budget and he needs our support to help get it passed.

Tell your legislator: DON'T balance the budget on the backs of working people. Governor Murphy's budget invests in education and transportation, provides a record pension payment and puts a tax only on New Jersey's millionaires.

Please TAKE ACTION now! Click the TAKE ACTION button to write a letter to your legislator and follow the instructions on the flyer below to make your voice HEARD!
