What is PEOPLE
Public Employees Organized to Promote Legislative Equality or PEOPLE is AFSCME’s political and legislative fundraising arm used to fight for workers’ rights and make sure we get the right candidates elected. As an affiliate of AFSCME, HGEA receives essential monetary funds to help support the campaigns of our union’s selected political candidates. And since PEOPLE is subsidized solely through voluntary contributions by members, we need your help!
If you sign up to become a PEOPLE MVP, you will receive a free PEOPLE jacket, are offered early access at HGEA events and are eligible for exclusive giveaways.
Contributions or gifts to AFSCME PEOPLE are not deductible for federal income tax purposes. All contributions to AFSCME PEOPLE are voluntary and will be used for political purposes. Contributions are not a conditional of membership or employment and refusal to contribute is free of reprisal. In accordance with federal law, AFSCME PEOPLE accepts contributions only from AFSCME members, executive and administrative personnel, and their families. Contributions from other persons will be returned.
