How to Support State Scientists
Stand with the over 4,000 State Scientists who protect the public from life-threatening diseases, safeguard our wildlife and abundant natural resources, ensure the safety of our food, and protect our air and water from toxic waste and pollution!
Here are some ways to show your support for CAPS in our ongoing fight for a fair contract.
The Action: RSVP for CAPS Rallies in YOUR Region!
Where: Sacramento
When: August 30, from 12PM-1PM
How to participate: RSVP here to let us know you plan to come to any of the Rallies! Create a poster with CAPS-provided supplies, join your colleagues, and chant your heart out! Tell this Administration that their offer to CAPS is not enough!
The Goal: You and your colleagues will be ramping up the pressure on this Administration! They are hearing from your CAPS Bargaining Team that their offers at the Bargaining Table over the last few years are not enough to come to a full and final Tentative Agreement, and that they need to #ValueScientists! Now, we invite you to come out to the West Steps of the State Capitol and deliver this message to the Administration YOURSELF!
Remember: CAPS Rallies are VISUAL Actions! Take to social media to be sure that your efforts are making the loud, proud, positive noise both in-person and to the world at large that your Bargaining Team is sharing you and your colleagues’ demands at the Bargaining Table!
Take a picture of yourself and your colleagues rocking your CAPS green at the Rally! Tag CAPS on social media: @capsscientists (Instagram and Twitter), and use the hashtag #ValueScientists. Email your photos to caps@capsscientists.org to be featured on CAPS’ social media. Go live at the rally. Talk to the media that comes to the rally! Most importantly, just show up!
Your attendance tells this Administration that State Scientists are serious about standing up for our VALUE!
CAPS is not able to secure release time for folks to attend these rallies, so please plan to attend on your own time (i.e. vacation time, annual leave, RDO, etc.).
Need more information? Want to drive or participate in a Car pool? Email caps@capsscientists.org.
We urge you to demand that Governor Newsom and his Administration swiftly invest in California State Scientists to ensure California is able to fulfill our obligations to the world to avoid collapse.
