Hello All,
I hope you are well.
For our social media blitz, a new post is ready to be shared on all 3 platforms (bit.ly/PTHCsocialmedia). Here are two ongoing links for the social media blitz to support trailer bill advocacy:
- doc with links and instructions (fresh posts every few days): bit.ly/PTHCsocialmedia
- form for activists to sign up to be posters (we’ll then loop them into the program and this distro list): https://forms.gle/kztbrQmrRSTFhAxJ8
As you know, we recently secured $200 Million in ongoing funding in the CA budget for districts to be reimbursed their expenditures related to part-time faculty healthcare at a rate of 50% (matching dollars) – due in large part to great work by locals such as yourselves!
Now, the CFT is now engaged in lobbying efforts to pass a critical trailer bill that will raise this 50% cap on reimbursements, making even more funds available for districts to expand part-time faculty healthcare. Primarily we are engaging in social media support for this effort, with 10-15 posts over the next 2-3 weeks – via Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
As leaders and/or social media point people for your locals, we are asking you to please amplify these posts as much as possible – with your local union accounts, and also among your members if possible – following the below instructions.
Steps:
- Please share posts widely(approx. 10-15 over 2-3 weeks), and feel free to use or edit sample captions;
- Be sure to tag all three targets– Gov. Newsom, Sen. Atkins, and Asm. Rendon;
- Be sure to use the campaign hashtagto help us track our reach (#facultyhealthcarenow)
For links to share this post (and future posts) on all 3 platforms, and instructions for tagging (Newsom, Rendon and Atkins) and using hashtags (#FacultyHealthcareNow), please visit this link – which we will use on an ongoing basis: https://bit.ly/PTHCsocialmedia
I am planning to share this info with some member activists directly via email and Hustle as well.
Thank you and have a great week,
Chase
