Dear BCTGM Activist,

Across the nation, 1.5 million of you have responded to our call, and thousands of workers are gathering on Capitol Hill today to deliver your message to Congress: Pass the Employee Free Choice Act so our economy works for everyone.

Joined by allies in Congress, workers are delivering dozens of boxes full of petitions collected by our affiliates and allies. We’ve never been stronger as a movement, and victory is in our sights. Big Business and their lobbyists in Washington are well aware of our growing strength, and they are fighting back with everything they’ve got.

They might have money and connections, but we have you. To help show our strength publicly across the Internet, we’re delivering our petitions online as well as offline with a new scrolling display of names. We began scrolling names of our supporters at noon today, and it will take more than 11 days to scroll through everyone’s name who signed the petition.

That’s a lot of names, but we need the list to grow even longer.

Help grow our grassroots strength:Ask your friends to sign our petition today and help rebuild the middle class.

We all know the Employee Free Choice Act is critical to our economic recovery. Good union jobs helped build America’s middle class, and this legislation will rekindle the American Dream by leveling the playing field and empowering workers to form unions and bargain for a better life.

That’s why greedy CEOs are terrified of this bill, and they’re fighting it with every dirty tactic in the book, including misleading ads and shady front groups—all the more powerful due to their big budgets.

But we can win if enough of us get involved. In the coming months, we will join together and make calls to Congress, write letters and even participate in meetings at the home offices of members of Congress. If millions of people collectively declare their support for the Employee Free Choice Act, no amount of corporate money can silence us.

Ask your friends to sign our petition today, add their name to our list and help rebuild the middle class.

We’ll keep you posted on how you can help once the bill is introduced and as the vote gets closer. Thank you once again for being part of this fight. 
 
In solidarity,

The BCTGM E-Activist Network
