Two dedicated members are leading the way in our Fight for a Fair Economy.
Sara Collman, a member of our HACAP chapter and a Head Start teacher along with John Eivins, an RN at University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, agreed to get out in front on this because they felt it was so important.
Earlier this year, the pair went to California with 1,500 SEIU member leaders for training on how to mobilize for the Fight for a Fair Economy.
“Working people need a chance in this country and they’re not getting it,” John said. “In fact, the rich are getting richer and we’re barely staying even. It’s not right.”
John and Sara are recruiting other leaders to help them make the kind of change they want to see a reality. Those people, in turn, will recruit others. So don’t be surprised if you hear from them soon.
“I know my union sisters and brothers get just how important this work is. This is not about left or right or anything like that. It’s about giving everyone an equal shot at a good life. We can’t let the American Dream die. Right now it seems like it sure is on life support,” Sara said.
