AFSCME honors public safety professionals during National Law Enforcement Week

National Law Enforcement Week gives us an opportunity to recognize the sacrifices and contributions of America’s public safety professionals.

Save the Early Learning Center at Everett Community College

With an outpouring of support from parents, employees, legislators, city council members, students, unions and community, it is clear: We cannot back down till Everett Community College leadership completely scraps the plan to replace the ELC with a limited-service daycare.

Send a letter to EvCC President Daria Willis and the college's Board of Trustees—and make sure your neighbors, coworkers, and fellow parents join you.
