Bay Area Town Hall

As part of our 2026 contract fight, we’re taking a new approach to Town Halls because big wins come from collective action. These statewide Town Halls are a key part of our contract campaign, the first step to organizing for real results and answering the question we’re all asking: how do we win what we deserve?
At these Town Halls, we’ll walk through what’s at stake in our 2026 contract fight. We’ll be going over what we’re fighting for based on the bargaining priority results from the survey members completed last month, talk through the strategy and tactics needed to build state worker power, and connect you with members of your bargaining team who are fighting for you at the table.
