Labor CAN! The Massachusetts AFL-CIO Constituent Activist Network
What is Labor CAN?
Labor CAN is a grassroots network — in each of the 40 state senate districts where union members live — organized and ready to join the fight for a working family legislative agenda.
Labor CAN is about expanding and mobilizing the power we have to hold our elected officials accountable. It’s about not only winning elections but passing a pro-worker, pro-union legislative agenda.
What will Labor CAN do?
Labor CAN activists will form teams in their home district to establish a relationship with State Senators and Reps. Teams will meet with their elected officials, both at home and at the state house, to educate and to advocate.
Everyone in the Labor CAN network will be contacted to send emails, make phone calls, and attend meetings and lobby days, to make sure the voice of working families is heard in the halls of government.
Labor CAN may also be mobilized during election season and to join solidarity actions on behalf of local unions and community groups.
And Labor CAN activists will be labor’s eyes and ears in the district. To sign up CLICK HERE.
How is Labor CAN different from what your local union or CLC might already do?
Labor CAN unites us across all sectors — public and private, building trades, human service and food service workers, manufacturing and health care — all of us standing up together and for each other.
Through Labor CAN the resources of the Mass. AFL-CIO are available to CLCs and unions to help activate your members. The Mass. AFL-CIO will create a database of Labor CAN activists by senate district, and we’ll provide education and training, as well as helping to coordinate network mobilization. Together Labor CAN make a difference!
