Sisters, Brothers & Siblings,

Today we are launching a critically important campaign about our public sector workers and the invaluable public services they provide.

We're asking time-sensitive questions and want to hear from you!

#PS #IAmOurPublicSector #WeNeedOurPublicSector

Q1: Who are public sector workers? What kinds of jobs do they do and where?

#PS #IAmOurPublicSector #WeNeedOurPublicSector

A1: Public sector workers are heroes who work for the state, county, or city & provide services we count on:

Education, housing, sanitation, firefighting, libraries, infrastructure, transit, caregiving, health services, safety net enrollment & more!

Q2: How does our public sector make our state and communities stronger?

#PS #IAmOurPublicSector #WeNeedOurPublicSector

A2: Public sector workers deliver goods & services efficiently, drive economic growth & fight poverty.

For instance, teachers combat inequality by offering all students career paths while eligibility workers act to keep families healthy, fed & safe.

Q3: Why are our public sector workers and the services they provide constantly under attack?

#PS #IAmOurPublicSector #WeNeedOurPublicSector

A3: Corporate politicians & lobbyists say that getting rid of public sector workers will benefit taxpayers. But the record is clear:

Gutting public services does NOT help low or middle income Californians. It makes the already wealthy even wealthier.
