Underfunding Courts Undermines Justice

SendPostcardGov.Brown.jpg
SEIU 721 is joining court workers across California to win more funding for our courts. Over the next few months, members will be sending postcards, holding meetings, organizing co-workers and walking through courthouses with state legislators to illustrate how underfunding courts is undermining justice.
What You Can Do Today
(1) Download and sign a postcard to Gov. Brown.
Get everyone you know to sign one too. Please turn in all signed postcards to the SEIU 721 Courts Division: 1545 Wilshire Blvd., Ste. 100, Los Angeles, CA 90017.
(2) Send a Facebook postcard.
Use this page to upload a picture of yourself or someone else affected by the court budget cuts, of long lines at a courthouse or something that illustrates what cuts have done to our courts.
(3) Download and sign a Judgment petition. Please turn in all signed petitions to the SEIU 721 Courts Division.
(4) Take the Courts Division survey to let us know what else you can do to help win more court funding. The survey is for court workers only.
