Fundraiser: Victims of the VTA shooting

Just yesterday there was a mass shooting that occurred within steps of where our members in San Jose work in the Juvenile Court. The persons killed were at a union meeting when this senseless tragedy happened. 
 
Our local has been asked to consider helping the victims and their families. To that end, I pass along the information and link for any member who may wish to help … in the words of labor activist David C. Coates: An injury to one is an injury to all.
 
In solidarity,
  
Michael Ferreira
President
