Join the list of people who participate in Calls to Action. Typically these are email and call campaigns. A script and email template will be sent to you. Calls to Action happen randomly and need to happen quickly. There’s short notice when a political opportunity arises. For example, in March 2021 there was a UI tax relief set at 5% of unemployment income. We issued a Call to Action and that threshold was raised to $10,200 as to align with the American Rescue Plan (ARP) in response to the emails sent in by people like you and me.
The newsletter will keep you up to date on lobbying activities and dates when the commission will hear from the general public. The commission to study UI tax and benefit structure is just the first win of this campaign. Together we can advocate for taxes and social insurance that support communities. Chapter 9 Section 25 (a) (b) (c) and (d). Section (c): “The commission shall hold at least 1 public hearing and may hold additional hearings as necessary at which members of the public shall have an opportunity to speak”.
