We Are One rallies unite members across Hundreds of PEF members across the


state participated in “We Are One” rallies during the week of April 4. The rallies were organized by the New York State AFL-CIO. At the same time, across the country


2.5 million members stood in solidarity with union brothers and sisters to support


those who are under attack. These attacks have energized working


men and women to stand together and fight for their rights, such as collective bargaining. A culmination of the week’s activities took place Saturday, April 9, in Times


Square where PEF President Ken Brynien addressed the crowd of thousands, citing the importance of solidarity. —Deborah A. Miles —Photos by Joe Battista,
