Our political volunteer network continues to grow, contacting Central Valley voters

All over California, Local 1000 members and staff are kicking their political efforts into high gear, and the word is spreading about their success and need for even more volunteers.

"These are issues we all feel passionately about, and it was exciting to see everyone in action with such a sense of urgency," said Larry Vallejo, a Bargaining Unit 4 DMV employee from Fresno. "Time is critical, we need to get the message out now so people are better informed when they vote."

Vallejo was part of one of the largest efforts in the state as 80 members, staff, friends and family members spent their evening calling voters on Aug. 29 in Fresno.
